Bowhill Update

Our second Dandie Dinmont Heritage Trail Board was unveiled by Lady Louisa Trotter, daughter of the Duke of Buccleuch. During our research we discovered a painting of James Kerss who was Head Gamekeeper at Bowhill. James Kerss discovered “Old Pepper” that was found in a trap. All living Dandies can be traced back to him.
