Book Town,

Book Town,
Wigtown is a town and former royal burgh in Wigtownshire, of which it is the county town, It is now in he council area of Dumfries and Galloway,

Taken way back in 2007 with an elderly Practica camera which
despite my best efforts, always produced images with atmosphere!

Wigtown was officially designated as Scotland’s National Book Town in 1998 and is now home to a wide range of book-related businesses. A book lovers haven – and with over quarter of a million books to choose from, old and new … it is impossible to escape empty-handed.

HBM and a good week to you all!

A fascinating street scene Roger.............and I see you've managed to capture it with hardly any people around..........maybe they're all indoors reading books?

It looks very clean and well kept. Very nicely done sir!

Very nice comments Keith, thank you!
We have been back a couple of times since then and it's never appeared busy or untidy!

One of the few, perhaps the only place we have had lunch in a bookshop, a number of them had a cafe attached, great thing in my opinion!

Sounds like my kind of cafe.........providing they have cake as well as books :-)
