Places to Visit The history of the south west coast stretches back 6000 years. Stone Circles, Iron Age Forts, early Christian chapels and tower houses are to be found throughout the region and almost all are free to visit. We have a great interest in Archaeology so can tell you about the “out of the way” places to visit. Since 2009 Galloway has been home to the UK’s first Dark Sky Park. If viewing the night sky interests you click on this link to see more - Galloway Astronomy Centre. Whatever your interests there is something for everyone in this lovely part of Scotland.
