English Travellers were common visitors to Galloway. Here an English family sits around the camp fire as the father carves clothes pegs. The top has been taken from the wagon – it will be used to shelter two adults and four young children.
This photograph was taken by James Dunn, a Newton Stewart chemist, and used by McCormick in ‘The Tinkler Gypsies.’ McConchie of Kirkcudbright was another local photographer who took images of Travellers. He sold a number of popular views showing the camp at The Doon, Nun Mill, Kirkcudbright.
