Many famous, infamous and unusual people have visited Dumfries and Galloway over the centuries. Fortunately, some recorded their widely varying experiences, and this book contains a selection of them. From English spies of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries to Neil Armstrong’s visit to Langholm after the moon landing, and from Daniel Defoe and John Keats to a South Seas Islander called Williamu, the accounts and viewpoints cover more than five centuries and span the world. They have been selected, annotated and are introduced by local author A E MacRobert, and the whole is comprehensively illustrated from contemporary prints and maps.
