Glenluce
Lovely morning + clearer than it has been all my stay. Paid Scotsman + for books I had from the Library. Then, taking the Scotsman, I walked out the road by Barlockhart to Sinniness1 where I got a seat behind a rock + sat for more than an hour reading + smoking. I saw the W end of the Isle on Man but the most of it was cloud capped. I couldn’t distinguish the Irish Coast. About 2 it got darker + threatened rain so I came down to Stair Haven2 + home that way to a tea which I enjoyed my indigestion having gone. Completed my packing. Dined at 7.30. It doesn’t look well for tomorrow.
1 Barlockhart (area); the road goes through grid reference NGR 212,554 and presumably Castle Sinniness, NX215,531 but possibly Laigh Sinniness further south, NX216,524
2 Stairhaven, NX209,536
