Old photograph of Lockerbie, Scotland. A Scottish town in the Dumfries and Galloway region of south-western Scotland. It lies approximately 75 miles from from Glasgow, and 20 miles from the border with England. It had a population of 4,009 at the 2001 census. The town came to international attention in December 1988 when the wreckage of Pan Am Flight 103 crashed there following a terrorist bomb attack aboard the flight.

Rich in history, dotted with castles and abbeys and strongly identified with Robert the Bruce, Robert Burns and many other historical characters, the county of Dumfries and Galloway is a mecca for cycling, golfing, bird spotting, fishing and, of course, walking. Dumfries and Galloway. 40 Coast and Country Walks provides a taste of every aspect of this large county and offer access to some of the less visited parts of this quiet and beautiful corner of the UK. Every effort has been made to make the walks accessible by public transport and all are intended to be suitable for families. Dumfries and Galloway: 40 Coast and Country Walks (Pocket Mountains).
