DARG days have come to Dumfries Station.

A newly-formed team of volunteers have taken up the gauntlet, left by the former South West Railway Adopters Gardening Group, and are beautifying the busy train station on the Nith Valley Line.

The team are looking for new volunteers to join them to help bring the garden back to life after lockdown, under the auspices of the Adopt-A-Station scheme operated by Scotrail.
