This is possibly more moderne than Deco. A house off the A 711, just south of Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway.

It’s possibly very recently built.

In December 2017 I posted two photos of this castle.

Last May we were in Kirkcudbright again and I got two more shots:-

Internal staircase:-

A small model of The Kelpies in Kirkcudbright. The originals are in Falkirk at The Helix. Bridge over River Dee in background.

Side view:-

Just along from the minin Kelpies is a memorial, “In memory of loved ones lost at sea.”

I had seen a photograph of this on flickr a few years ago and resolved to look for the building when I next visited the town.

I couldn’t see hide nor hair of it.

It seems the creamery has been closed, demolished and replaced by housing.

That original photograph I saw is at https://flic.kr/p/5mGw8B

At the first link above I also found this photograph:-

There are three more here.

I’ve also found a video of the abandoned interior with one external shot at the end. It seems the video’s makers had no authorisation to enter the premises:-

And this one shows the demolition:-

Depressing.

The harbour and River Dee at Kirkcudbright are very picturesque. Many artists have made the town a base. The quality of the light is supposed to be particularly good.

I found two Art Deco styled buildings in Kirkcudbright. There was one I didn’t though. I’ll save that for a later post.

Here are the two I found.

First the Co-op:-

The former Post Office:

Detail:-

Kirkcudbright’s War Memorial is situated by the main road through the town just in front of MacLellan’s Castle.

The memorial takes the form of a seated soldier with sword and shield protecting a sleeping child.

Kirkcudbright (pronounced kir-could-bri) is a town in Dumfries and Galloway, though before local government reorganisation its county was Wigtown and Kirkcudbright.

The river Dee runs by the town and there is a rather lovely bridge over it.

Wider view:-

I was looking for a building that no longer exists and wandered across the bridge in the search and so found this plaque:-

Bridge from Kirkcudbright harbour:-

Wider view again:-

Not the sort of thing you really expect to come across on rounding a corner in rural Scotland. An Art Deco/Modernist Power Station.

Tongland Power Station, part of the Galloway hydro-electric power scheme, is in Dumfries and Galloway on the A711 between Castle Douglas and Kirkcudbright.

Detached building and what looks like a huge water tank:-
