During World War II Dumfries was host to the the Norwegian Military High Command in exile. Their headquarters was located in an imposing red sandstone building in the centre of town.
A derelict textile mill near this graveyard was turned over to them and served as barracks.
The graves below are located in a well tended newer section of Troqueer graveyard beside the River Nith.  This photograph, taken in early Spring 1999, shows the start of the cherry blossom along the river with early blooming heather over the graves.
