More on Lockerbie
Description from Wikipedia:
Lockerbie (Logarbaidh) is a town in the Dumfries and Galloway region of south-western Scotland. It lies approximately 75 miles from Glasgow, and 20 mi from the English border. It is a small town, with a population of just 4,009 at the 2001 census.
Lockerbie has a well developed transport network for a town its size. It lies next to the A74(M) motorway and has a railway station on the main Glasgow–London West Coast Main Line. Lockerbie's town hall is its most imposing building and is an excellent example of Scottish baronial style, built in the typical local red sandstone. The building looks over a war memorial built after the Second World War, with its characteristic bronze statue of an angel atop a white base with inscriptions.
Historically the town has been a trading post for both cattle and sheep. Because of its proximity to the borders, the cattle trade with England dominated local economy for a long time. The town is home to sheep auctioning to this day.
About 1.5 mi south of Lockerbie along the C92 road to Dalton are the remains of Hallmuir prisoner-of-war camp. After the Second World War this camp housed up to 450 Ukrainian volunteers from the Galician Division of the Waffen SS. They built a chapel which remains in use, currently holding Ukrainian services on the first Sunday of every alternate month.
