Lockerbie

In Lockerbie for a meeting on a very wet day. Lockerbie is in the south-west of Scotland, and is a small settlement with a population of about 4,000. Hence my hopes of capturing a hatful of clocks (otherwise known as a clockerbie) were not high.

In fact the only clock in sight was on the Town Hall, a splendid creation of 1880.






Nothing to do with clocks, but outside the Town Hall is a delightful sheep sculpture (or what you might call a flockerbie).


The closest I came to another public timepiece was this tower, which I assume was once a clock tower.


The building is now the church hall, but was built in 1866 as the Mechanics Institute.
