17 We hot-footed it back along the tarred road from Innerwell to Garlieston - nothing specially interesting to show you from that, though the road is not at all a busy one. Here we are arriving at the Harbour Inn in Garlieston ready to have a pint before we go any further. The public bar in there is old and characterful, and we had a friendly chat with one of the locals. The white building just a little further along the road on the left in the above picture is the village hall which has the glass case full of information on it's side wall. We were parked in the village car park just across the road from there. We were soon on our way again (around 1.30pm) heading round by the harbour as you can see in the picture below with the tide still well out. New flats are being built around the harbour and as far as I can see they are creating buildings that are quite in keeping with the site. The second picture below shows the harbour from the air during the war years. In the third picture below we are looking back towards the harbour area from the path that takes us to Rigg Bay and Cruggleton Castle. We had had plenty of rain in the weeks leading up to the point when we did this walk and there were plenty of very muddy places along the path as we went. We met several other people walking in this area, some with shorts on. I don't recommend shorts if you intend to go as far as Gruggleton Castle at this time of year because there are too many brambles and nettles trying to take over the path as you get near the castle.
