Pupils from Dumfriesshire’s Roman Catholic schools became pilgrims with a visit to Scotland’s National Shrine to Our Lady of Lourdes – Carfin Grotto.
They were at the site as it was chosen by the Missions of Notre-Dame of Lourdes as the only venue in Scotland to host the touring blessed relics of Saint Bernadette.
Usually held in France, they are on a first-ever visit to Scotland, England and Wales during September and October.
