[Fair Scotland @fairscotlandorg]

We were delighted to be involved in @TheStovies #nithraid2021, talking about #Dumfries ' Fairground #history – @Dialectographer & @tsBeall spoke to folx about the history of this bridge – which #Showpeople across #SCotland call 'Biddall's Bridge' – after the Biddall family...

[Fair Scotland @fairscotlandorg]

Great to see that projects like @AtlasPandemica continue to bear fruit – rain or shine!
We're looking fw to seeing how 'Fair | No Fair' continues to develop in #Dumfries, and for more of #Showpeople 's shared #history to be celebrated!
