The area surrounding Brae Cottage is breath-taking, from the rugged coastlines and secluded sandy beaches, to inland The Galloway Forest Park, Britain’s largest forest park with 300 square miles of wild beauty and where you will find the world renowned 7Stanes Mountain bike trail at Kirroughtree. A short 5-minute drive from Brae Cottage will take you to the Isle of Whithorn, an attractive little harbour village where you can sail, fish, or just sit and relax overlooking the bay while perhaps enjoying a meal or glass of wine in the award winning Steam Packet pub or tearoom.
Visit Wigtown, which has officially been designated as Scotland’s National Book Town with a wide range of book related businesses, a book lovers haven. The larger town of Newton Stewart, known as the Gateway to the Galloway Hills, also has many excellent shops and places to eat.
