Did you see the Caerlaverock Special on ITV Border Life recently?
Grab a cup of tea, and sit down for 20 minutes to watch Sandy McCracken present this beautiful feature all about our cracking little corner of the world…
You will see fantastic footage of Caerlaverock Castle, hear a bit of its history from archaeologist Adrian Cox and find out about the daily elbow grease required to keep it ship-shape nowadays; have a wee look back at The Boathouse just prior to opening, where Lady Clare explains the importance of renovating the essential community hub, bringing it back to the community following the devastating fire of 2016; see a little of the work that goes on at the amazing Canine Rescue Centre; hear about the preservation of our fragile coastal environment by the creation of the Caerlaverock Natural Nature Reserve (NNR) and the fabulous habitat at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) with Brian Morrell, and watch how a young local artist captures our beautiful, ever changing scenery!
How lucky are we?!
Who’d’ve thought there was such a lot going on in such a little place? It fair makes you proud!
