Built from traditional Galloway sandstone, No 5 Drumshinnoch Brae is an excellent base from
which to explore the Southern Upland Hills on foot or if your sport is mountain
biking the popular 7 Stanes cycle tracks. Should you prefer road biking
the many small and quiet roads in the area make this too, a delight.
Activities
The cottage is situated equidistant from
Drumlanrig Castle and the Forest of Ae, with all the rest of the popular biking
tracks within easy striking distance. The Southern Upland hills are
easily accessible from the cottage with some walks even starting at our back
door. The area is also famous for its fishing, tickets being available
from the Drumlanrig Estate.
