GENERAL
The harbour town of Kirkcudbright, also known as Scotland’s Artists Town, is
very popular with tourists, particularly in the summer months with a varying
range of festivities and events including an annual Arts and Crafts Trail,
Jazz festival, and a popular farmers market runs throughout the year. The
town provides a range of services including: two small supermarkets and
individual specialist shops, parish church, museum, library, doctor’s surgery,
optician, bank, a cottage hospital, two veterinary practices, swimming pool,
tennis court, bowling green, as well as a primary and secondary school. The
harbour is a main feature in the centre of the town, and there are delightful
river sidewalks as well as a renowned “blue-flag” marina providing excellent
sailing facilities. The nearby market town of Castle Douglas also has a good
range of shops, and other services, and is designated Scotland’s Food
Town. The regional capital of Dumfries, about 29 miles distant, offers a
wider range of shops, retail outlets and services including the Dumfries
