The town of Dalbeattie was founded in 1793
as a mill town, a port and a granite quarrying
centre. It has still got its Craignair Hill
quarry, but now makes most of its income
from tourism and service industries. Visitors
to Dumfries and Galloway (south west Scotland)
are invited to try our town for themselves.
It looks good in any kind of weather and
we offer a warm welcome. |

Kirkcudbright is an attractive and bustling
little fishing town, for a long time famed
as the favourite resort of artists and craftspeople.
The town has an
estuarine harbour - the home of a fleet
of scallop boats, a historic
old High Street with art & craft outlets,
colourfully painted traditional Scottish
townhouses, and a selection of mainly family-owned
shops where most things can be got.
