Scotland

We made it... despite a warning light on the dashboard regarding tyre pressure. Stopped in a lay by and checked.. all seemed ok.
We decided to carry on.. after another 20  miles  the light went out!

Stopped at Gretna shopping village,  partly  for a 'comfort stop ' and partly because it would be a change to browse some shops. What a disappointment.

At least the newer carpark wasnt too bad, sat and looked at some greenery while we had our sandwiches. 
Although it stayed overcast, it didnt rain.
 Arrived at the hotel in good time. Staff very pleasant and our spacious bedroom has a lovely view across the fields to the woods beyond. Some very very tall trees in the grounds which covers 46 acres.
 A quick unpack and we took one of the many paths along the river.  A lovely spot.
