Harbour Blessing Sevice

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the wind and rain (!) to take part in the Harbour Blessing Service on Sunday 6th August.
As the photographs below illustrate, a great time was had by all!

If you've never had the opportunity to be at the annual Kirkcudbright Harbour Blessing service, please do come along next year.  It's always such a special and enjoyable event, and a regular fixture of the 'Art and Crafts Trail' weekend.

See you next year!
