There is so much to see and do in the area due its central location in beautiful Dumfries & Galloway, located only 1 hour's drive from the Scottish/English border. Below are a few examples.

Golf, fishing, hillwalking (Southern Upland Way), pony trekking, mountain biking, Day trips to Drumlanrig Castle, Gretna Green, Moffat, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Ayr etc. etc..

In the village, we have the lead-mining museum where you can go panning for gold and the highest pub in Scotland which offers delicious bar meals.

Delightfull views of Gallowa' Hills. The cottage sits on a hill with a stream winding through the countryside at the foot of the hill, which is the Southern Upland Way.
