Lumley unveils Peter Pan statue
The actress Joanna Lumley has unveiled a statue of Peter Pan to recognise the part Dumfries played as birthplace of the children's classic story.

"It is absolutely enchanting and it is standing outside the garden centre so everybody who is driving past on the road can see it.
