Galloway Forest Park

Yes, I know. Everybody wants to see the Highlands and you really should, but please.....don't forget Scotland's south. Dumfries & Galloway, a largely rural area, is so incredibly rich in it's bounty.

It is bursting with great scenery and is home to  three national scenic areas, designated as areas of scenic beauty.

The Southern Upland Way, a 338 km long coast-to-coast walking trail along southern Scotland takes off from Portpatrick. Castles, beaches, digs etc.

Don't stay on the motorway. Turn inland. This is a rich region where the past is still very much alive.
