Introducing Dumfries & Galloway
Some of the region’s finest attractions lie in the gentle hills and lush valleys of Dumfries & Galloway. Ideal for families, there’s plenty on offer for the kids and, happily, restaurants, B&Bs and guesthouses that are very used to children. Galloway Forest is a highlight, with its sublime views, mountain-biking and walking trails, red deer, kites and other wildlife, as are the dream-like ruins of Caerlaverock Castle.

Adding to the appeal of this enticing region is a string of southern Scotland’s most idyllic towns. Although they are devoid of the tourist crush, domestic day-trippers flood pretty Castle Douglas and other hotspots when the sun shines. And shine it does. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, this is the mildest region in Scotland, a phenomenon that has allowed the development of some famous gardens.
