Places to Visit in Southern Scotland
Dumfries and Galloway is a truly unspoilt corner of Scotland,
fringed with deserted beaches - sands where Robert Burns once
galloped on horseback, where whisky smugglers came ashore. Romantic
ruined castles and other historic monuments dot the landscape.
Explore Galloway Forest Park, where you'll find a mix of
forest, moorland and lochs, alongside beautiful grazing deers. You
can also expect a few surprises, including a town for artists at
Kirkcudbright,
a book lover's dream at Wigtown and Castle
Douglas for foodies! Or opt for the Scottish
Borders, brimming with castles, abbeys, stately homes, and
museums, offering a fascinating insight into the area's
history. Look out for pageants and festivals during your stay,
along with Rugby Sevens' tournaments.
