Kirkcudbright, which sounds like “kir-coo-bree”, is easily one of the prettiest towns in Dumfries and Galloway.

This is Scotland as you’ve always dreamed it, with clans, castles, and centuries of history to boot. Read more

Pack your days with adventure, history and excitement, and your nights with music and spectacular stargazing when you stay in Kirkcudbright.

Broughton House and Garden: The centre of a Scottish town is not where you’d expect to find beautifully landscaped Japanese gardens. That, coupled with an impressive art collection, is what makes Broughton so special.
Kirkcudbright Galleries: Kirkcudbright’s status as an artists’ town is reflected in the exhibitions and collections at Kirkcudbright Galleries on St Mary Street.
The Stewartry Museum: Created in the 19th Century, the Stewartry Museum is the place to learn about the geological and social history of East Galloway.
Dark Art Distillery: Tour the Dark Art Distillery to see the creation of their botanical Sky Garden Gin which was inspired by the beauty of the night skies.
Kirkcudbright Dark Space Planetarium: The Galloway Forest is an International Dark Sky Park. However, you don’t need the sun to set to learn about space when you visit The Planetarium at The Johnston.
