A new book which charts a famous chase for an Ayrshire horse thief has been published — 11 years after the historic trek which inspired it.
John Nelson, 76, made national headlines in 2011 when he retraced the remarkable pursuit 200 years previously of a horse thief by his great-great-great-grandfather John Kerr.
Now John, who farms in Dumfries and Galloway with his son Andrew, has finally brought to print the tale about his ancestor’s epic journey.
