Closeburn

Closeburn sits in one of the most beautiful parts of Dumfriesshire - Nithsdale. To the north of the village the wooded dale closes in on either side, with the River Nith tumbling through it. To the south, it gradually opens out into a wide, fertile strath, dotted with green fields and old, whitewashed farms. The Parish Church stands some distance away from the village, and is an attractive Victorian building with a slim tower. Fragments of the older church, which date from 1741, can be seen in the kirkyard.

A small road winds up eastwards from just south of Closeburn into the moorland above the village. It makes an interesting drive, and takes you past the small but picturesque Loch Ettrick.
