I love to get them on the computer and pick out those which work well, and throw out the ones which are not very good. I hope I see some more of those Galloways, and get closer next time.

The only downside is that there aren't enough footpaths which link up to make a circular walk. Some road walking is needed to join the circle. I don't mind that as the minor roads are pretty quiet.

There are other colours of Galloways, but the Belties are the most iconic. Certainly looks like a couple of bulls at least, but will be a mixed herd I should think.
