What to see and do



Along the English Border

Welcome to Scotland!

Information enquiry

There was a time when the borderlands between Scotland and England were effectively a war zone, one where travellers paused at their peril.

Happily, that was centuries ago and both sides have long since reconciled their differences - most of them anyway!

There are now lots of reasons for visitors to come and stay in Dumfries and Galloway, whether as a stopping off point on a longer journey north or as is increasingly happening, as a destination in itself. Many of the attractions in the region are only a short distance from accommodation just across the border, which you can check using the link in the left-hand column.

Whichever side you stay on, a warm welcome is guaranteed.
