Bibs has put his xmas tree in so I would like to suggest echo glen, not a proper name, but kind gives you an idea why to go here. It has the finest echo's of anywhere i have ever been, quite well known by locals but not many others.

Stop just up from the cattle grid.

Another weird tree, passed this a couple of times but no idea what it's about. Looks like someone's undies drying off lol, but it's been 'decorated' like this for many years. Possibly a Pagan site?

It's not far off the A9 at the Tore roundabout.

[EDIT] Ah yes, a clootie well. I vaguely remember hearing that before.

Kitty's tea room in New Galloway.

Like a trip back in time, and the panelled ceiling is fantastic. Service is excellent, cakes are amazing and all served in fine china. My mum is actually donating her china tea service just so it is used instead of sat in her loft. Open sunday, nowt else is in New Galloway. Then ride down west side of loch ken to Ringford.

Not cheap, but worth it.
