Castle Douglas - Food Town
Not only was there a Vintage Fair, but It was also Food Town Day in Castle Douglas on Saturday. There was a lot of variety - not just the usual burgers! The smells were delicious!
Castle Douglas itself is a fabulous town - a proper high street, full of lots of
independent shops. Old fashioned, but in
the best sense of the words. Absolutely
wonderful for shopping.
The town even has its own brewery - Sulwath Brewers. Of course we had to sample the beer and the
verdict was ... fabulous! Brought some
home as a gift for a friend.
Definitely planning a return visit to Castle Douglas!
Love, Liz
Comments
My home town in Kent is a classic example. In my childhood it was a thriving, classic market town, with cattle market and ordinary market, boasted two large department stores on several levels, a high street full of interesting shops, three cinemas, a theatre and a skating rink.
Now we have no theatre, no cinema, a high street full of discount/ pound shops, building societies, hairdressers and the usual chain stores.
The only decent shop we have had new in the last 10 years (Bentalls)is to close to allow the attached supermarket to expand.
Progress? I don't think so!
Whoops, sorry Liz, had a little rant then!
