A knack for delving into the past to uncover answers has become a “labour of love” for retired New Abbey clinical psychologist, Alverie Weighill.
After eight years of painstaking research covering more than two centuries and all manner of topics, her new book, The Resort of All Amorous Couples: Thomas Telford’s Toll-house at Alison’s Bank, Gretna, is already proving a hit.
And she has a busy schedule in February and March as guest speaker at meetings of The Friends of the Archives of Dumfries and Galloway, The Dumfries Archival Mapping Project, Carlisle Local History Society and Dumfries Family History Society.
