9 Reasons why you should visit Kirkcudbright
  • There are many museums, Broughton House stands in the heart of Kirkcudbright, it is dedicated to E A Hornel an artist, a collector and an antiquarian. Hornel bought this impressive house in 1901 and transformed it into his home and a studio. Many of his works still hang inside the house for all to admire, outside there is a beautiful garden with views overlooking the River Dee and the harbour. Other museums are the Stewartry Museum, which started off at the town hall. The Tolbooth building is now the arts centre and the Kirkcudbright Galleries which were opened by the Princess Royal in 2018.
  • Kirkcudbright is known as an artists town, from painters, photographers, sculptors to willow makers who all work in and around the town of Kirkcudbright. You`ll find lots of it walking around the town and along the harbour.

The Southern Upland Way

David and I have walked a mere few miles of the Southern Upland Way and only in and around Moffat, the whole way is 214 miles and runs from Portpatrick in the South to Cockburnspath in the East. It`s classed as one of Scotland's first and only coast to coast long distance path and runs from the south-west to the north-east, there are 12 stop off routes in total all ranging from 8 miles to a strenuous 27 miles. 

The route is divided into different stop offs, and we took a walk around route 6, Wanlockhead to Beattock, after doing a circular walk along the forest tracks, we started from Daer reservoir, from there you`ll come across Brattleburn Bothy where you can rest your weary legs before heading onto route 7, maintained by the Mountains Bothies Association, it`s a wee place with two log burners, table and chairs, and a few necessities to help you out if you get stuck, there is a place to sleep if your hardy enough, personally I wouldn`t, especially in the winter, I bet it`s bitterly cold, but if you want a bit more comfort you can always make your way into either Beattock or Moffat where you'll find plenty of places to stay for the night.
