After attending the opening of the new slipway at Annan Harbour as part of this year's Annan Harbour Festival, local MP David Mundell said: "The new slipway at Annan Harbour is a massive addition to the facilities there and a real asset to the local area, providing access to the Solway here in the east of Dumfries & Galloway. I am sure it will be well used.
“The Trust has done a great job in moving this project forward and putting the focus on the Harbour it deserves. It is a real asset to Annan and now the annual Harbour Festival, which encourages everyone to come down to it, is going from strength to strength. And this year even the weather was with us!"
