National Scenic Area

Fleet Bay in Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland is designated a National Scenic Area but discussion is taking place about the possibility of the whole region becoming a National Park. The quality of the landscape is a big factor and if this comes to pass, the impact through increased tourism would be of huge benefit to this quiet farming and fishing economy.

 

Dusk

The South of Scotland offers peace and tranquility, beautiful hills and varied coastlines as well as some charming small towns such as Kirkcudbright, the home to a large number of artists including yours truly.

Golden Hour

Mossyard on Fleet Bay is one of the places that we go to walk along the paths and shore and to enjoy the tranquility, especially when the days are shorter.

Toby the dog likes to run on the wet sand and he enjoys all the scents that my old nose can no longer detect…….which is probably for the best!

 

Shore

An interlude in Dumfries & Galloway which has nearly 100 miles of south facing shore line and is usually as quiet as this scene. There is talk of identifying the region as a national park which would certainly give a boost to tourism and bring increased prosperity to an area that mainly relies on farming, fishing and forestry.

This view was taken south of Gatehouse of Fleet on Fleet Bay.

The Fleet Estuary

 

Fleet Bay is categorised as a National Scenic Area and you can see why. Hopefully it can be protected from the encroachment of wind farms that tend to destroy the scale of the landscape.
