How a stranger wandered into town in 1956

WE CAME to Langholm on February 14, 1956. At least, Wanderer showed face that day, while Mary arrived in August and two wee lassies came along a few months later.

In those days the Muckle Toon and the Wanderer were strangers to one another. Eskdale was a maze of paths, tracks, trods, trails, rides and routes because everybody walked or cycled and thrived on it. Nowadays, there are still many enthusiastic people around.
