What is recorded here
St Andrew's Parish Church stands on Marle Street in Castle Douglas, wearing two ages at once: a nineteenth-century church and a twentieth-century theatre. Stone rooms remember both prayers and performances, though whether they hosted sacred hymns or secular comedies first remains unrecorded. The building still occupies its exact spot in Dumfries and Galloway, waiting for someone to ask which voice it prefers.
