Musings from the Merse
Sunday, January 20, 2008
Thankyou Elizmar for this study of Allanton which seems, from this shot, to have even less houses than Hutton-but like Hutton, has a speed limit. Why show this image? THere is a very nice property for sale in Allanton (The bit with houses in it) which must be sold for specie to allow the owners to buy the Old Manse in Hutton. So hurry up and get your cheque books at the ready. Apparently the property is featured in today's Scotland on Sunday so hopefully the narrow street (s)-well only a street actually, will be crammed with potential buyers from the start of the working week. We can then get our cash, count it and move on to the Small House in Duns.
Yes, Yes empatient of Eyemouth, if you go round the cormer you will eventually reach the houses.
The wife has pointed out that she does not recognise this scene-nor knows of Carluke -this is said by Elizmar to be the Carluke /Allanton road. Could, she asks, this be another Allanton. According to Flickr it is Allanton the Borders.
Anyhow be careful. The house in question is certainly in Allanton.Not far from the pub. You can't really miss it.
Unless of course you are in the
wrong Allanton
PS It is the wrong Allanton. Further research suggests that this version is in Lanarkshire. Flickr appears to have no images of Allanton proper. So for good ness sake drive to the Borders and find the house of your dreams.

This is Allanton in Lanarkshire, near to the town of Shotts. I took the picture because I was pleased to have reached Allanton as it was a long walk from the town of Carluke where I live. There are a whole series of other pictures available on Flickr showing the walk there, should anyone be interested. Best wishes Elizmar
