Dumfries Week of Highland Exhibition Crowded with Visitors
Dumfries hosts a grand Highland Society week drawing 1,265 guests to Patit vers and 1,700 plus tickets sold. Visitors arrive by steam boats and coaches, filling Dumfries with strangers amid wet weather and busy races at Tinwald Downs Lochar Moss. The Highland Society dinner hears Lord and Lady guests and judges commend the cattle and stallions, notably Cranstoun’s Clydesdale. The steam plough attracts debate among farmers, while the pavilion and social events showcase lavish lighting and seating. A later field test on Thursday shows crowding hampering plough operation but confirms technical promise and calls for calmer conditions.
