I lived in Dumfries from 10 April 1985 until June 1990. I worked at the British Gas Heathhall Depot. On Wednesday 21 December 1988 at approximately 19.10, I was in the shower. My younger Son shouted up the stairs to me regarding the news about the Lockerbie Air Disaster. I quickly dressed and drove to Heathhall Depot, where I was responsible for calling out and deploying the Gas Board Emergency Personnel (all the men available - yes, they were MEN). It was a long, sad night, as most people know. *Rest In Peace. And forever thanks to my colleagues, and all the Emergency Services, Army et al.* Thank you for the somewhat bittersweet memories, Lgfas. All the best. Stay free. Rab 💓 🕊
PS. I have just re-watched your video. So many places I remember, with Family and Friends. Almost a wee tear or two ... Thankfully, Dumfries (along with its inhabitants/Doonhamers) has kept more than most of its character. Thank you, once more, for this beautiful sojourn down Memory Lane. Rab ⏰ 🎲 🌠 👋
Too many old type heritage buildings. Is there any restriction on new modern constructions? Could have added some commentary.Anyways thanks for the road trip.

The town centre has gone downhill in recent times, such a shame
