Kelloholm

I was born and spent my first 17 years of my life in Kelloholm, a small village in the Nith valley in Dumfries and Galloway region of Scotland. When I was young I spent most of my time walking and swimming in the Kello River, a tributary to the River Nith.
I also spent many a happy day walking over the hills to through the Euchan Valley and into the Scaur valley. Or walked along the back rood to Sanquhar and then up the Crawck.
They were happy carefree days, where it always seemed to be sunny.
Since then I have walked throughout the Yorkshire Dales, the Peak District in Derbyshire, the English Lakes, The Scottish Highlands, Switzerland, Germany and Iceland. But no matter where I have wandered My hart has always been in the hills of my youth.
