Nithraid, a tidal sailing race, sees competitors vie to ride the highest tide of the year from the Solway, up the river Nith and into the centre of Dumfries. The winner gets to dip the 'Saut Coo' into the river - and soak up the adulation of the thousands of onlookers who flock to enjoy carnival attractions, music, skate displays, mobile forge, tasty cakes and more.
Nithraid is a public artwork conceived and produced by The Stove Network.
