The east of Galloway is often referred to as ‘the Stewartry’ - the name harks back to a time when the area had hereditary royal stewards as its lords.

Kirkcudbright is an extremely attractive town lying on the Dee Estuary in the Solway Firth. Its crooked, ancient streets are filled with a mix of architectural styles and the cottages in the High Street are awash with pastel shades. The town has attracted many artists through the years, in much the same way as St. Ives has in Cornwall. Looming over the town centre and High Street is MacLellan’s Castle, which was built in the 16th century and is open to the public in the summer months.

Castle Douglas is an 18th century market town situated in the heart of Dumfries & Galloway. Its principal attractions are, Threave House & Gardens a 19th century baronial style home, whose attractive gardens are home to the National Trust for Scotland's School of Practical Gardening and Threave Castle, which sits on an island in the middle of the River Dee.
