Scotland’s Gardens scheme gets back in bloom for the summer across Dumfriesshire from this weekend.
It offers the chance to get outdoors and enjoy someone else’s hard work in their gardens which open for charity on one day of the year.
Robin and Margaret Thomson are the first to open their gates to the public under the fundraiser which helps a number of charities including the Maggie’s Centres, founded by Dumfries’ Maggie Jencks, plus worthy local causes decided upon by the owners.
