seaJane Posted 5 September , 2019 Share Posted 5 September , 2019 Am on the Caledonian Sleeper as I write. Heading for Dumfries (tomorrow) and Gatehouse of Fleet (Saturday to Friday). Anything GW-related and accessible to see? We'll have a hire car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWF1967 Posted 6 September , 2019 Share Posted 6 September , 2019 Eastriggs, Dumfries is home to the Devils Porridge museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heid the Ba Posted 6 September , 2019 Share Posted 6 September , 2019 (edited) Welcome to Scotland! Not WW1 but there is the curiosity of an Australian serviceman killed in Viet Nam commemorated on one of the Dumfries war memorials. https://www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/item/memorial/5859 I'll second the Devil's Porridge Museum. Edit: if you are at Eastriggs for the museum, Quintinshill Memorial is nearby. Edited 6 September , 2019 by Heid the Ba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolt968 Posted 6 September , 2019 Share Posted 6 September , 2019 (edited) I'm not sure exactly where they are but there are two memorials to the Quintinshill Disaster near to the site. I believe that the passing loops are still there. RM Edit: I hope the Caledonian Sleeper has been behaving itself!

seaJane Posted 6 September , 2019 Author Share Posted 6 September , 2019 The memorial cairn is in the courtyard of the Gretna Green blacksmith's place, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
