Off over the border for a week soon, any good shops, pay as you go ranges or other firearms related gubbins worth a visit not too far from kirkcudbright?

Suggestions for particularly good food and ale also welcome!

It's been a while since I've been there, but an old family favourite was the Anchor at Kippford, if you're feeling enthusiastic you can park in Rockcliffe, walk to the Anchor, have a nice lunch, then amble back again. Waterproofs essential, no matter what they forecast.

Remember there's no such thing as 'bad weather' in Scotland, just inappropriate clothing!

Quite so Andy, quite so...

Oooh thanks DL!

The John Paul Jones (father of the American navy) cottage is worth a visit and isn't too far from Kirkcudbright.

The porridge pot after Gretna Green on the A75 is somewhere I keep meaning to stop off at and yet to do, it's where they used to build all the artillery shells for the war

Not all of them, ooman, not all....

For some good shopping try the Gretna gateway if your are going North M6 A74..
