J is for John Corrie Garden and Join In!

John Corrie was a local postmaster who meticulously documented Moniaive's wildlife and history in his 1910 book Glencairn (Dumfriesshire), The Annals of an Inland Parish and whose legacy lives on in the John Corrie Wildlife Garden.

If you need a little quiet during the festival you can find a pleasant stop off at the by crossing over the wooden footbridge just to the north of the campsite on the river walk loop.

Join In! – The festival actively encourages visitors to play their own instruments, with an open stage at the Glencairn Memorial Institute run on a first-come, first-served basis and session spaces in the Insitute, George and Old Bank.
