“The Black Douglas” - this is one of our super heavyweight single sculls - once rowed in by five-time Olympic champion !

The Black Douglas, Sir James Douglas, was a Scottish knight and one of the chief commanders during the wars of Scottish Independence, many of which took place in Dumfries and Galloway.

On Saturday, club member Andrew tried out a slightly different type of rowing discipline and headed north to East Sands Beach, St Andrews to race in the Saints Costal Regatta. Despite the rough conditions it was a great day!

Equally, club member Ian has also been trying out some costal rowing, with a trip to Ardwall Island at Fleet Bay!

“Ingrams” - one of our mid-weight single sculls.

On September 4th 1865, 14 gentlemen met in Ingrams’ Hotel in Dumfries to discuss the beginnings of a regatta club on the river Nith. After discussion it was decided that the new formed club would be called the ‘Nith Regatta Club’. In 1890, the club’s name was changed to its current name Nithsdale Amateur Rowing Club.

Yesterday we took delivery of our brand new ergo. We are very grateful to Dumfries and Galloway Council for awarding us a grant to fund half the cost of our new ergo. Without grants such as these our club would not be able to provide equipment of this standard to our growing membership.

It is a great addition to our current fleet of ergos, which have all recently been serviced by ready for our second half of winter training!
