NTH says that Keil Crofts has closed. There were two in this months magazine that I have visited that have also closed. Perhaps I should stop visiting CLs or change my aftershave or something.

Wasn't there one you used overlooking the Pentland Firth, Nellie, near the Castle of Mey?

It had changed it's name from Viewfirth to The Crofters Snug. Would certainly recommend it if just for the view alone.

Well, thank you from me Nellie for answering my thread and for all the information here. BTW probably the best CL in D&G near Garlieston, has to be Sorbie School (but keep that to yourself 😉)

No problem, jonray, glad to be of some help. Have looked at Sorbie School but it's way above what we are willing to pay on a site.

Glad to see many of our favourite sites on Nellie's list. Glad that we can enjoy the memories during this difficult period and look forward to when we can start rolling again. Our van is kept at the back door and is ready to move whenever, although until then we take our coffee (or something stronger) out to the van and dream we are on one of our favourite sites.

On a different note I was browsing CL's in Scotland earlier and noticed that Monturpie at Upper Largo is not shown on the website. Have I missed an announcement in the magazine ? 

Stay safe everyone

papa5f, I would not be surprised if Monturpie has left the club as they were changing the pitching area last year. I would suggest that if you do wish to visit in the future just give them a call on the number in the old SD.

It's been 6 weeks since the OP surely by now they will have had time to investigate the sites suggested, and it would be very nice, and polite, to inform us of what they have decided and acknowledge the help given, wouldn't it? Perhaps it's just another sign of the times in that certain people have forgotten how to say "Thank you"!!
