The Ruin

The Ruin

A dramatic memorial to what once must have been quite a sizeable building.

This is all that remains of a farm building on top of the cliffs overlooking the Solway in south west Scotland. Now lonely and windswept, it is difficult to know what it was used for, but it’s a good spot to sit and have a rest and on a clear day see the mountains of the English Lake District across the water.
