This page is waiting for me to get to it, but meanwhile, for the widest selection of used and rare books anywhere, you might like to take a look at www.abebooks.co.uk - UK site of the world's largest network for used, rare and out-of-print books. Here you will also find a number of bookshops based in Dumfries and Galloway itself. Recently while out for a walk one evening in Bladnoch I saw an old book through the window of a bookshop, and when I got home I looked for the book on this site, and even found the copy from that particular shop along with the price!

Also, so you don't go away completely empty handed with regard to Cumbria, here's a link I found to the tourism site Visit Cumbria, and another to its "capital", Carlisle, a delightful city my family and I really love to visit (it's about an hour and a half in the car for us from Wigtown). Actually this website is called Carlisle and Hadrian's Wall Country", so it's not just about the city of Carlisle. Enjoy these two sites!
