I wish I could report a blisteringly hot Summer but alas there have been days when the rain has not stopped. To all the region's regular visitors to caravans and camping we salute you, despite the rain everyone has had a smile on their face and a spring in their step.
It has been a busy Summer and special mention and thanks must go to Kirkcudbright 2000 and Dumfries and Galloway council for supporting the Glasgow Girls exhibition. Kirkcudbright is a vibrant Artists town and we are looking forward to the next event in our artists calendar.
The Sculpture Symposium From Friday 27th August until Saturday 4th September, seven sculptors, many of international status, will be working outdoors on large pieces of stone or wood sculptures in the ‘Artist’s Town’ of Kirkcudbright. The seven sculptors are Marina Weir; Tom Allan; Mike Cairncross; Nils Hansen; Andy Breen; Peter Dowden; and Dmitri Broe

Along with the Sculpture Symposium we are looking forward to taking part in the Scottish Food and Drink fortnight. Dumfries and Galloway has a huge number of events on throughout the fortnight, click here for the Savour the Flavours Fortnight brochure

In other news Douglas has been busy with his golfing blog and I've just posted some new pictures to our Flickr account showing some stunning shots of Kirkcudbright Golf course which I took on the Kenneth Davis Memorial cup day on Saturday 21st August 2010 - oh and the sun was shining, you can tell the schools are about to go back !!
And finally - We try and sponsor and support as many local groups and charities as possible. We set an annual budget of £1500 for donations so you can imagine how delighted we were when our name was pulled out of the hat to sponsor the home shirt for Creetown FC. This is Douglas's home town and infact his father played for Creetown in his day so it is really fitting that the Hotel's name will be on the front of the Creetown strip this year. Good luck Lads !!!
Until next time. All the best CHRIS
