@WigtownBookFest @VisitScotNews Great to see you back in person! 😀

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

@VisitScotNews Was lucky enough to attend the preview and it's lovey, so much talent and many stories told.

[VisitScotland News @VisitScotNews]

A6 Thank you for supporting #AWindowOnScotland – keep sharing those images from across #Scotland! #LoveDandG @SolwayTours

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

Thank you for inviting us to co-host tonight @SolwayTours, it's been wonderful seeing all your pictures and having a glimpse into life during lockdown across Scotland. Stay safe #LoveDandG and #AWindowonScotland @VisitScotNews

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

So lucky to have this close-by during these stressful times. I'm not near a beach so thanks for sharing these pics!

[Solway View CS @solwayviewcamp]

A4 2020 Year of Coast & Waters. Our region has beautiful beaches. Very near us are Dhoon Bay, Kirkcudbright and Brighhouse Bay, Borgue. #awindowonscotland #LoveDandG

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

A6 I’m enjoying this #WindowOnScotland campaign, its great to see the wonderful views from Scotland’s windows. And the sun is to keep shining so we can get outside and keep well and healthy. #LoveDandG #awindowonscotland

6. Share with us any other photos from your #AWindowonScotland #LoveDandG

[Historic Scotland @welovehistory]

We are lucky to have so many to choose from 💙 #LoveDandG #AWindowOnScotland

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

These pictures are so happy and positive, I look forward to seeing smiling faces again soon!

[Paula Ward @ South of Scotland Enterprise @awesomescot]

Perhaps not a physical window but these pictures open a window to the nature of our Stranraer residents. Last years Skiffie Worlds was hands down Scotland’s best event. A week of amazing competition and friendships made that’ll last a lifetime. #LoveDandG #AWindowOnScotland

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

A5 Keeping well is so important, I find cycling a great form of relaxation. We are so lucky in the south to have the best mountain biking trails & festivals in the world. I look forward to returning along with our visitors! #LoveDandG #AWindowOnScotland @Tweedlovefest

5. Last week was mental health awareness week? Can you share with us your happy place in D&G or across Scotland? #AWindowonScotland #LoveDandG

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

That really is a window on Scotland, stunning ❤️

[Solway Tours @SolwayTours]

Wow stunning photo #LoveDandG #Awindowonscotland

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

A4 One of our favourite holidays was in a campervan along the D&G coast, we can’t wait to return to the likes of Southerness, Kipford, and Kirkudbright #LoveDandG #AWindowOnScotland

[VisitScotland News @VisitScotNews]

4. 2020 is the Year of Coasts and Waters. When it is safe to travel again where would you head to in D&G or across Scotland to appreciate our stunning coastline? #LoveDandG #AWindownOnScotland #YCW2020

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

What a view 😍

[Historic Scotland @welovehistory]

A1. Even the smallest of windows provide an amazing view 🎴 Who recognises where in Dumfries and Galloway you would find these windows?

(Hint: both sites have histories dating back to the mid-1400s!) #LoveDandG #AWindowOnScotland

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

That picture makes me want to visit!

[Lorna Young @LornaYoung_]

A2 A favourite view, and one I’m most looking forward to seeing again, is from my parents’ garden looking out towards the river at Kirkcudbright - and not just because it’s beautiful #awindowonscotland #LoveDandG

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

A3 The South of Scotland is rich in creativity and I am especially inspired by our world-renowned textile industry, my crochet hook has been busy! I’ve started drawing again and have been tie-dyeing & upcycling and all sorts! #LoveDandG #AWindowOnScotland

[Solway Tours @SolwayTours]

3. Have you discovered a new place that you now love or have you started a new hobby recently? Share them with us please. #LoveDandG #AWindowonScotland

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

We have calves in the field beside us at the moment, we have been enjoying them chasing butterflies and playing together.

[Mostly Ghostly Tours @MostlyGhostly_]

A2 Close to the roadsides, glorious pastoral scenes: lush green fields home to goats, horses, sheep and cattle – a few characters among them! #LoveDandG #AWindowonScotland

[VisitScotland News @VisitScotNews]

A2 We love some of the images of these amazing gardens from historic houses across the Scottish Borders that have been shared as part of the campaign #AWindowonScotland #LoveDandG@traquairhouse @Mellerstain  @PaxtonHouse  @ThirlestaneBuzz

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

Looks like a great place to walk on such great paths!

[Galloway Glens @gallowayglens]

A1: #loveDandG #aWindowinScotland One of our favourite historic sites is the Old Pack Road from Polmaddy to Carsphairn - for centuries the main route for pilgrims, kings and everyone travelling from Glasgow to Galloway. 7km, newly refurbished path, travel as our forefathers did!

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

That is a fab picture, looks very peaceful :)

[Paula Ward @ South of Scotland Enterprise @awesomescot]

My heart 💓 sores with the views that I get on the evening walks with my son Archie. A wee dander up Hartwood Hill Nr Ramerscales and you can see the way to “Criffel Mountain” as Archie calls it. #AWindowOnScotland #LoveDandG #ScotlandStartsHere

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

A2: These last few months have definitely given us the opportunity to appreciate how beautiful and green Scotland really is, I' very fortunate to have a garden 🥰 #LoveDandG #AWindowOnScotland

[Solway Tours @SolwayTours]

2.  What are your favourite images of your own gardens or have you captured some great outdoor shots of flora and fauna on your daily exercise? #LoveDandG #AWindowonScotland

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

@SolwayTours My sister-in-law's family came over from Kuala Lumpur and Australia and we were able to host a truly Scottish wedding in a remarkable venue!

[LauraMaciver @LauraVisitScot]

A1 If there’s one thing we could really shout about it’s our historic landmarks and attractions. My family hired Neidpath Castle last year for a family wedding and it was magical. #LoveDandG #AWindowOnScotland

[Solway Tours @SolwayTours]
