Castle Douglas

Today's the day …………………….. to shop

It was very pleasant to stroll along the main street of the little town of Castle Douglas in the sunshine this afternoon.

The Clock Tower on the left was the location of the original Town Hall. The first tower, built by Sir William Douglas, was destroyed by fire in 1892 as did a second clock tower forty years later.  There's a plaque on the wall that says that in May 1935, Henry J. Hewat of Paterson, New Jersey, USA, donated the present clock tower to the town.

So far at least, it's been - third time lucky ………………….!
