Looking from one of the ox-bow lakes near Dailly towards the ruins of Dowhail. See NS2702 : Dowhail ruins for a closer look.
The lakes provide homes for a great variety of wildlife. At least 15 Snipe rose from the marshy banks during my visit.
I visited Dalquarran Mansion in 2004. I was told that there were plans to turn it into a five-star golf resort. What happened to that idea? Its a real shame that such a beautiful building is just lying exposed to the elements. Bob Clark, Alberta, Canada
