Kirkcudbright:

Kirkcudbright is known as Scotland’s Artists’ Town. For more than a century, it has attracted painters, craftspeople, and designers. As a result, the town is filled with independent galleries, studios, and artisan shops. You can browse local artwork at the Tolbooth Art Centre or Harbour Cottage Gallery, both of which host regularly changing exhibitions.

In addition, the town itself is a delight to explore. Wander down cobbled lanes, admire pastel-coloured houses, or follow the riverside walk along the Dee. The relaxed pace and friendly atmosphere make it easy to enjoy.

In the Summer, there is a wide range of weekend and summer festivities, all ending up with the Summer tattoo. Details can be found using the summer festivities website. A map of the town is available here.
