Quietly situated in Wigtown, Scotland’s book town, in the heart of Galloway amidst some of the finest scenery in southern Scotland, this traditional, detached, stone-built house stands in extensive gardens and provides an ideal holiday base from which to explore the breathtaking scenery and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, wilderness and romance. From the Galloway Hills with their many hidden lochs, burns and waterfalls to the beautiful Solway coastline with sandy beaches, rocky coves and picturesque villages, there is plenty to explore.
Wigtown Bay Local Nature Reserve is the largest local reserve in the UK. It has internationally recognised significant numbers of pink-footed geese, greylag geese, many species of duck and wading birds visiting in autumn and winter. Visit the Interpretation Centre where the Galloway ospreys can be viewed by video camera during their nesting season (April to August), or the local wetlands for the rest of the year.
Take a look at the distillery at Bladnoch established in 1814 which offers a large shop and guided tours, or meander around Wigtown appreciating the high quality gift shops, small gallery, excellent plant nursery, numerous book shops and many cafes.
The southern Scotland regions boast an exceptional number of absorbing activities, from spending a quiet afternoon with a rod and reel beside one of the area’s many excellent rivers, or attempting a challenging 7 Stanes cycle track.
