Cally Estate Walk

For our weekly Wednesday walk today we decided to head west as the weather forecast gave an excellent forecast for Galloway. We selected an 8 mile walk through the Cally Estate at Gatehouse of Fleet and parked in the grounds of the Cally Pallace Hotel. Within the first half mile we saw 2 Red Squirrels and then on our way back through the Hotel grounds we saw a third. The weather was just beautiful and the sun shone for the whole walk. The photograph above is outside the entrance to the Cally Pallace Hotel.

Lunch was a picnic on the beach at Sandgreen.

There is a Red Squirrel in the tree in the middle of the picture. Unfortunately I had forgotten my good camera so these photos are on my I phone so not as good as I would have liked.

In the small hamlet of Girthon is the remains of a very old Church so Tom insisted we go for a look.

Sandgreen Beach next to a lovely caravan site.
