Towns to Visit

Dramatic Towns and Quaint Villages.

Dumfries and Galloway, the Scottish Borders or Ayrshire and Arran regions of southern Scotland are lands of colourful and breathtaking scenery and areas of beauty, wilderness and romance.

Its rich and colourful past is never more apparent than in the abundance of small towns, picture postcard villages and hamlets where each new corner throws open a dramatic sense of history waiting to be explored.

Follow the footsteps of Burns from his birthplace of Alloway in Ayrshire through Dumfries or those of Sir Walter Scott through Selkirk. Marvel at the majestic architecture of the grand abbeys of Melrose or Jedburgh or simply take in the quaint atmospheres of the abundance of ancient villages.
