VisitScotland - Dumfries and GallowayBrochure

Savour the tranquillity and feel the exhilaration of Dumfries and Galloway, where the hills, forest parks and quiet country roads provide the ideal setting for exploring by foot, bike or car. Delve into its rich history and visit the plentiful museums and visitor centres which detail the varied inventors, poets, pioneers and artists inspired by the landscape, and enjoy a wealth of culture in the art galleries and bookshops. You'll also find some of Britain’s most colourful gardens here.

Stargaze at Galloway Forest Park, Europe's first Dark Sky Park awarded due to the thousands of visible stars and natural nocturnal habitat, or take the Solway Coast Heritage Trail through picture perfect villages and sublime vistas. Traverse by mountain bike at any of the five 7stanes award-winning mountain bike centres or spend a thrilling afternoon waterskiing at Loch Ken.

Dumfries and Galloway is also home to an exciting programme of events and festivals taking place throughout the year. Spend a weekend jamming to jazz at the Lockerbie Jazz Festival, or exercise the mind at the Wigtown Book Festival located in Scotland's National Book Town.
