Broughton House & Garden

Reviewed By H1531OIjohnt - Criccieth, United Kingdom

Visited here when in Kirkcudbright in our motorhome. Park up by the town car park and it’s a short walk up. Good Covid hygiene in operation at the garden and it’s a trust the visitor box at the unattended side gate entrance. It’s relatively small but packed with interest. There’s a one way system which guides you to all the features of the garden. It has a Japanese feel and lovely little vignette settings within it. We sat at the peaceful pool on a fern cast iron bench and admired the planting and the oriental brass heron. There are secret views of the Dee and its mariners as you walk around. Sumptuous!

Tolbooth Art Centre

Reviewed By ItalianophileYarm - Peebles, United Kingdom

Kirkudbright has long attracted artists and it's not hard to understand why beautiful tranquil and uncrowded. The Tollbooth is spread over a couple of floors with some old painting and more modern exhibits. Worth a visit.
