Mountains, islands, rolling scenery, rivers, lochs and rugged coastlines all form Kirkcudbrightshire. The landscape is so varied, a self catering cottage holiday in Kirkcudbrightshire would leave you with plenty to do.
A holiday cottage in the North West of Kirkcudbrightshire gives you a landscape that is untamed and rocky. The further south you travel, you will start to see mountains appear, with Merrick being the tallest at 2,764 feet. The very south of the county, the landscape starts to level out, so a cottage holiday in the south of Kirkcudbrightshire surrounds you with stunning scenery which opens up to rocky shorelines.
On your cottage holiday in Kirkcudbrightshire, why not visit the inviting coastal village of Creetown. It is perhaps best known for its country music festival and as the setting for the cult film, The Wicker Man (there’s a 12 ft high model of him among many other fascinating exhibits in the Creetown Heritage Museum).
A self catering cottage holiday in Scotland would not be complete without visiting one of the picturesque lochs... and there are many to choose from in Kirkcudbrightshire such as Loch Ken and Glen Trool – which is well-known for its romantic surroundings and links with Robert Bruce.
