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, Brian Wilkinson Britain from Above Activity Officer (Scotland). |
