Can anyone pinpoint the following area of Dumfries: "Then he drifted to the sheep farms of the broken and barren plateaus of his native shire, where the Whitecomb, the Hart Fell, the Queensberry and Ettrick Pen stand sentinel and cast their shadows far other the land and firth.  Here the grandeur of surrounding nature forever impressed the youthful mind with that love for the ideal and poetic, which was a marked characteristic of the man."
