Kirkcudbright is yet another location found just
off the A75 and well sign posted.Every time ive
been there it seems a very busy town for its
size.Having said that there are lots of places of
interest and picturesque places to see.Quite a
lot of the scenes were filmed here as you can
see by the photos.

On my latest trip to Kirkudbright,Nov 2006,i was very
fortunate to get access to the interior of Greyfriars.It
was a bit of luck really because we arrived there about
10.30am on the Friday and there was a service taking
place at 11.00am and the rev Peter Taylor was already
there so we just walked in. I introduced myself and
explained to him that i am a very big fan of the WM
film.What a nice guy.He was more than helpfull.As you
can see by the photos there was a bit of restoration
work going on at the time so he gave me permission to
go up the scaffold and get some fantastic shots.This
was a great opportunity to get some "one off "pictures
of the interior that has never been seen before at that
angle!!Once again many thanks to the Rev Peter
Taylor.
