Kirkcudbright Cottages
Please find below a selection of self catering holiday cottages
to rent in Kirkcudbright, Scotland.
Add a splash of colour to your holiday and stay in a
Kirkcudbright cottage in an historic fishing town with an artistic
twist!
Nestling on the Dee along the Solway coast, Kirkcudbright
(kir-coo-bree) has been a magnet for artists since the late
19th Century and, even today, locals tend to either fish
or paint.
Explore the attractive town centre, with its broad streets and
mix of medieval, Georgian and Victorian architecture, painted in
pretty pastel shades.
Browse the delightful shops and exquisite galleries, some with
working studios. Don't miss the Tolbooth Art Centre, which
showcases works of artists past and present. And when it's time
for refreshments, there are all kinds of venues to choose from.
Alongside the harbour are the well-preserved ruins of
MacLellan's Castle, while Broughton House is also worth a
visit, featuring Japanese-style gardens and a fine collection of
art, ceramics and literature.
The bustling harbour is a fascinating spot to while away a
couple of hours, especially when the fleet comes in and unloads its
catch-of-the-day.
Next stop the marina and perhaps a pleasure trip along the
river. Or enjoy a fun family day at the Wildlife Conservation Park,
home to over 200 animals.
What else? Superb cycling in the region, with two Forestry
Commission cycle centres close to town and an 18-hole golf course
overlooking the Galloway Hills and estuary.
Summer brings many festivities, highlighted by a fabulous Tattoo
in August, so if you're planning a Kirkcudbright cottage
holiday then, remember to book early!
