Well not quite Newton Stewart but Kirkconnel some 50 miles distant. I had identified that there was a railway in shot some time ago but I had been looking closer to Newton Stewart. Today I was lucky and it all came together. Polneul was the decider for me when I discovered the traces of the white buildings. The A76, the railway and the River Nith were together and fitted. The field boundaries and the burns all fit.

This is a confirmed identification.

Today the area features a prominent wind farm which proves that even in this relatively remote area there are significant changes to the scene.

Thanks for Identification! I have checked this against the modern OS, and the field system and woodland around Glen Hall confirm the location for me.

I have put in a request to update the record, and the corrected details will appear here in due course.



Best wishes,

This photo was said to be possibly near Newton Stewart which is 50 miles from its actual location near Kirkconnel.
