The meet could still retain its original name of the Anglo Scottish meet, but as stated possibly held South of the Border.

I made inquiries there some years ago with the intention of holding a meet, they seemed very interested, but for some reason which alludes me now it was never followed up. There is a good cafe in the courtyard, however at weekends especially as Lowther is a very popular venue for visitors, can become very busy. A view of the castle ruins from inside of the gardens, would make a great alternative if Gretna could not go ahead. https://lowthercastle.org/
