Tynron Glen from Auchenbrack to the forestry

Tynron Glen from Auchenbrack to the forestry. This photo was on the cover of the first edition of “Tynron Glen”. The foreground is now under forestry above Craigencoon. Appin in the distance, Kilnmark on the left and Thornie Park near centre.

This 2nd edition has only been made possible through the generous sponsorship of Pat and Rowland Smith of The Hague, The Netherlands.

This work has been a labour of love, a tired old cliché (I am fond of tired old clichés), but I have typed it all in using one finger, two if you count the shift key. I imagine someone reading this in 2096 and I think of how much I would have enjoyed reading a book about Tynron written in 1896. It is a home-made production, but I still hope that it gives enjoyment to a few folk and that this might inspire the next Willie Wilson to produce an improved version sometime in the future.

Tynron Glen first produced using ™Kindwords 3 on an ™Amiga Computer April 1992.

The 1st edition was produced using ™Microsoft Word 7 and ™Windows 95 on an ™IBM.

Photos taken by the author.

This 2nd edition has minor changes and was printed by Copycats in Dumfries.
