Which now floods regularly... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9344#post-98141 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 20:07:10 +0000 wee folding bike 98141@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That must have been a long time ago. I think Devorgilla's bridge is pretty old. </p> <p>My dad went to school in Dumfriesshire so we used to go there a lot and it was on the way to/from England. His old school is a hotel now, Hetland Hall. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9344#post-98140 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 19:35:44 +0000 sallyhinch 98140@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It used to be part of the river before they decided to narrow it. I guess water doesn't forget...</p> <p>[EDIT - just realised that makes me sound like some sort of homeopath... ] </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9344#post-98138 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 17:51:21 +0000 wee folding bike 98138@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Whitesands always did flood. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9344#post-98137 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:52:34 +0000 sallyhinch 98137@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dumfries has flooded, but that's pretty much a monthly occurrence these days... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9344#post-98122 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 11:19:54 +0000 wee folding bike 98122@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Still no snow here.
