The Glenkens is the wide valley of the Ken river and Loch on the eastern end of #Galloway. flanked by the Rhins of Kells on the west, with the Southern Upland Way going through it Travelling from north to south, we will take you on three walks that give both a flavour of the beautiful landscape of the glen, but also a flavour of the history and folklore of this corner of #Scotland .
Brown burn water dropping
Between the grey stones,
The lapse and the murmur,
The bright overtones
Of cuckoo and curlew…
—Dorothy Margaret Paulin (1904–1982)
from Springtime by Loch Ken, & other poems (J.H. Maxwell Ltd., 1963)

Got a new telephoto lens for my camera yesterday. Went on a wee jaunt to have a play with it.
What better place than Artists Town, Kirkcudbright to test the light?
