The 26th and 27th of July this year welcomes the return of south west Scotlands Wickerman Festival near Dundrennan for a twelfth year. The festival takes it name from the festival site, which was the location of the 1973 film The Wicker Man, and the party culminates with the spectacular burning of a towering 40ft Wickerman.
