Thanks for the great feedback!

my family are the Carruthers, my Great Grandad lived in Durham and immigrated to Canada

You'll be interested to hear that I live in Carrutherstown, a small village just outside Dumfries.

This was a brilliantly made film. I can't believe the few viewing figures it's had thus far. My house also appears in it.. 🙂 Liked and subscribed!

[@eyescotland]

Thank you so much. Yes, like D&G itself I think my film is an undiscovered gem. Unfortunately the local tourist agencies didn't want to share it. A bit of a shame when by contrast I can put out a film about Riyadh on my main channel (Travel Obscurer) and get 36k views in the first few weeks. I need some local champions - feel free to share and tell people to watch and subscribe. Thanks again!

Great guide, thank you so much. Is Dumfries friendly and safe also?

[@eyescotland]

In my view it is.
