No alarm installer listed in Lockerbie yet.

An alarm installer fits, services and monitors home and business security systems - intruder alarms, CCTV cameras, access control and smoke or flood detectors.

Wireless systems are easier to retrofit and don't require chasing into walls; wired systems are more reliable for larger properties or those expecting heavy use.

Insurers often want a NACOSS or SSAIB-approved installer for monitored systems if you want a discount on your home or commercial cover, so ask before commissioning the work.

Lockerbie is a small town in Annandale, sitting at the junction of the A74(M) and the A709, making it one of the most accessible towns in Dumfries and Galloway.

The town is known worldwide for the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 in December 1988 - a memorial garden in Dryfesdale Cemetery commemorates the 270 people who lost their lives.

Beyond that tragic association, Lockerbie is a working market town with a livestock auction mart, local shops, a golf course and a strong community that has shown remarkable resilience.

The town has a rail station on the West Coast Main Line, with direct services to Glasgow and Carlisle and the A74(M) puts it within easy reach of Edinburgh.

Dumfries and Galloway is the most south-westerly council area in Scotland, stretching from the English border at Gretna to the Mull of Galloway - the southernmost point in Scotland - and from the Solway Firth coast inland to the hills of the Southern Uplands.

Dumfries is the largest town and administrative centre, a handsome red sandstone burgh on the River Nith where Robert Burns spent the last years of his life and is buried in St Michael's Kirkyard.

The region divides naturally into three historic areas: Dumfriesshire to the east, Kirkcudbrightshire (the Stewartry) in the centre and Wigtownshire to the west - each with its own character, landscape and loyalties.

The Galloway coast and countryside have a mild climate influenced by the Gulf Stream, fertile farmland, dark-sky reserves and a string of small harbour towns that attract artists, writers and visitors drawn to the quiet and the landscape.

Despite its size, the region is one of the most sparsely populated in Scotland - a place where community is strong, the pace is slower and the landscape ranges from river valleys and rolling farmland to wild moorland and rocky coastline.
