Camphill, Kirkcudbright

The historic town of Kirkcudbright is situated on the north Solway Shore on the banks of the tidal waters of the River Dee. Kirkudbright’s harbour is still active today, and the fishing trade has always supported the town. The picturesque town centre is characterised by wide streets and pretty pastel coloured houses, as well as the fascinating ruined McLellan’s Castle. Historical attractions worth a visit include the Stewartry Museum and its permanent exhibition of objects representing the history of life on the Solway coast. Known as the artists’ town since the late nineteenth century and a wonderful selection of art galleries, crafts, and antique shops still thrive here today.
