The Galloway Raiders presents:
Crockett, Castle Douglas and Cairn Edward –
The Fact meets Fiction tour.
2014 is the 100th anniversary of S.R. Crockett’s death and since he lived in Castle Douglas during his childhood (1867-1876) and wrote about it (fictionally as Cairn Edward) extensively in his adulthood, we thought it would be fitting to pay some tribute to Crockett’s Castle Douglas Connection.
Castle Douglas Civic week runs from July 19th to July 26th 2014 and this seemed like a perfect time to highlight the ‘connection.’
Initial thoughts were to have a live Galloway Raiders event as something of a ‘tour’ of Crockett’s places in CD, but this didn’t pan out and so we turned to a virtual alternative. This of course has the added bonus of meaning that anyone who cannot be in CD during Civic Week can still take part in the ‘tour.’
So. Starting from the 16th of july , we’ll be taking a leisurely online ‘stroll’ through Crockett’s Castle Douglas and Cairn Edward. Get your virtual boots on and prepare for a trip through history, adventure and romance in the company of S.R.Crockett. (Please note, to get the best from this tour it’s advisable to join The Galloway Raiders which will give you access to all areas of the website and discounts on Crockett’s work.
