Nithsdale (Srath Nid in Scottish Gaelic), also known by its anglicised gaelic name Strathnith or Stranit, is the strath of the River Nith in Scotland, and the name of the region. It is possible that Strath Nid actually represents the Cumbric Ystrad Nidd as Cumbric (arising as it did from the British Language) was the dominant language in this area from before Roman times until the 11th or 12th Century whereas Gaelic influence here was late and transient. The River Nith flows north to south through the Southern Uplands in south-west Scotland, separating the Lowther hills from the Scaur hills. Nithsdale has historically been a strategic area as it forms an invasion route from England into central Scotland.
Nithsdale was also a historic district of Scotland, bordering Annandale to the east, Clydesdale to the north, Kyle to the north-west and Galloway to the west. The district was in the Sheriffdom of Dumfries and later became part of the County of Dumfries, one of the counties of Scotland. The main re-organisation took place during the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, this Act established a uniform system of county councils in Scotland and realigned the boundaries of many of Scotland’s counties. It is one of three sub-divisions of Dumfriesshire, along with Eskdale (previously part of Liddesdale) and Annandale.

The Crichton family built Sanquhar Castle in the 14th century and later it passed to the Dukes of Buccleuch before being purchased by the Marquis of Bute. The marquis began a restoration project which explains the odd mixture of stone colours, quality of work, etc.

When at the Tower of London one can expect to hear many grisly tales about how former British aristocrats lost their heads. What one does not expect is a love story, or what one Yeoman Warder dubbed it, "A story for the ladies."

Decided my back garden was the best place for dancing today. Weather is decidedly BALTIC. Very challenging these days, but good too as big space for reflection, good to be outside. The mobility factor makes this bird a bit stir crazy. Tomorrow will go on big dance adventure -not sure where...One of the neighbours was peeking out her window for sure, you just never know what's OUT THERE!
