Nice looking place, I'll have to give it a look one day,

I actually went up to Ayr one day, so I will have gone through Dalmellington, didn't stop though, I had things to do, places to go, and whilst in Ayr, nylon waterproofing spray to buy 😉

[dark_castle1]

waterproofing spray in Scotland cke !!!!!!    Never been known to be needed, must have been really old stock  

[dark_castle1]

You would have passed the turn off to this on your way to Ayr, just before you reach Dalmellington from Castle Douglas cke

This is where I went fishing as a lad.

Hmmm.

The sky has fallen in.

[albannachjohn]

no peter that was just nightfall !

later on you will hear a loud crack when daybreaks.

[peteryola]

Don't know about that, but there was certainly a loud crack from the thunder overhead earlier.

Literally.

No delay at all between the lightning and the thunder!

[wizilizi]

⚡️ was an omen 

💥

[peteryola]

Here is the rain which accompanied that thunderstorm!

[peteryola]

Here is the second picture of the rain in question.

Indeed I did, it was a fair way from the main road, so I never saw it up close. I may take a trip to the castle there if I'm ever down that way again!

There's no stone circle monuments near there is there?

[peteryola]

cke - if that's the Dalmellington I think it is, there is a stone circle there, with seven stones, but it's not prehistoric - it was put up in 1999.

[cke786]

Loch Doon Castle, Craigmalloch.

Would have been nice for the stones to have prehistoric, new isn't very interesting, but that said, can always go have a butchers!

[dark_castle1]

cke, here is a website that might be of interest to you.

[peteryola]

Well, cke, at least they look old with all that moss etc growing on them.  They do "look right", which is something.

[cke786]

Nice linkage D_C, thanks 🙂

One of those two photos I took of the heavy rain last weekend has been printed in our local paper.

By the way, cke, I just noticed you had the "reversi" snipe the other day!
