THE DYKE, that runs doon the hill.
this very old drystane dyke runs downhill for about half a mile towards the longfaulds near potholm. between the castle hill, and wrae hill, a ton of stone per yard, there must have been plenty of blood-sweat and tears, carting this little lot almost a 1000ft up and over the hills all those years ago.as where the dyke leaves the picture is very-very steep - almost vertical. the photo was taken from the top of a very old style not long after day break. with the sun behind me, hence the shadows on the ground. langholm, dumfriesshire, scotland. view large
