Enjoy a relaxing break with days spent exploring historic attractions and out amongst the wonderful countryside
FROM peaks and glens to unspoilt beaches and historic sites, the South of Scotland is just begging to be explored.
Great walks The Mull of Galloway on the southernmost tip of Scotland has walks on both sides of the peninsula with stunning cliff scenery. There are 50 miles of coastline with amazing views, quiet, sandy beaches, and rocky outcrops where you can spot dolphins and porpoises. There are dramatic coastal walks around St Abb’s Head in Berwickshire – a headland surrounded by cliffs home to seabird colonies that is a National Nature Reserve.
There are also gardens at grand estates such as the 18th-century garden at Castle Kennedy near Stranraer in Dumfries & Galloway. There’s also the distinctive pink Drumlanrig Castle, home to the Duke of Buccleuch, near Carronbridge, Paxton House, near Berwick upon Tweed, which has a caravan park in its historic walled garden, and Threave Gardens, near Castle Douglas.
It’s alpacas you’ll meet at Beirhope Alpacas in the heart of the Cheviot Hills near Kelso, and Galloway Alpacas, Gatehouse of Fleet, and you can make your own ice-cream at Cream o’Galloway.
