Good Old Galloway B(u)oys!!!

Good Old Galloway B(u)oys!!!
One from the archives captured at the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse. The Galloway buoys against the lighthouse walls made me smile. They are no longer there sadly.

Here is a track called 'The Old Boys' sung by Runrig

So you can still have a look at them.
