Words and walks have come together in a new poetry trail in Dumfries & Galloway. Mabie Forest near Dumfries is the home of the just-opened 'Poetry in the Woods' walkroute - the brainchild of poet and ecologist Jackie Galley, with support from Scottish Natural Heritage and Dumfries & Galloway Arts Association. It brings together work by regional poets who've taken part in outdoors poetry workshops by writers including wildlife expert Gerry Cambridge.
