North Lodge

North Lodge is a lovely detached lodge situated in the hamlet of Brydekirk just three and a half miles from Annan in South West Scotland. The lodge can sleep six people in three king-size double bedrooms. Over three floors, the ground floor has a shower room with WC and a superbly equipped kitchen diner overlooking the extensive rear garden. A superb sitting room is up one step from the kitchen with a lovely open fire and a further smaller dining area up another couple of steps, again with superb views across the garden to the river beyond. Outside is ample off road parking and a lawned garden with furniture and barbecue. North Lodge is a delightful property with the River Annan flowing past.

The town of Annan, a former harbour, lies on the banks of the River Annan, in East Dumfries and Galloway, and is steeped in history, with the area once the site of Roman camps and the workplace of the writer Thomas Carlyle. Each year, the town celebrates the Riding of the Marches, in honour of the Royal Charter bestowed by King James V, which involves parades, massed pipe bands and competitions.

From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain's best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.
