A charming and quirky bookshop which extends into every conceivable book and cranny of the ground floor and staircase of its Wigtown home. There is a wide range of topics and some real gems in terms of rarity and quality. We were allowed to take our dog in even though there seems to be a resident cat, so hats off to the staff for accommodating us.

Went with my boyfriend who loves archeology and he enjoyed having a little look (I enjoyed looking at the field of cows directly behind it). We were only there for about 15 minutes which was more than enough, but definitely worth a look if you're into stone circles.

A stone monument located at the original site of the Martyr's Stake, dedicated to Margaret Wilson and Margaret McLachlan, who died in 1685. Their faith was unbreakable as they didn't relinquish their beliefs, even as the tide moved in. Very moving. Excellent information boards. You can also visit their gravestones in the parish church. For the monument, go down the hill, passing the parish church on your left, around the corner and into the picnic area, then follow the coastal path and go through the gate onto the wooden boardwalk over the marsh. If you continue along the coastal path you can see the outline of the original harbour and can then head back into town from the end of the path.

This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. Find out more about our reopening plans. Founded in 1192 by Roland, Earl of Galloway the magnificent ruins of this Cistercian Abbey are some of the best preserved in Scotland. A fantastic example of a well-preserved fragment of 13th century Cistercian church architecture, Glenluce Abbey occupies a site of great natural beauty in the tranquil and secluded valley of the Water of Luce. The remains include an impressive early 16th century chapter house and a museum of monastic life showcasing the fascinating collection of artefacts found during clearance work. Over the years the abbey's historic visitors have included Robert the Bruce, James IV and Mary Queen of Scots. Follow in their footsteps as you explore the ruins and the thought provoking setting.

Stopped off here after leaving Wigtown. Free to walk around and explore, wonderful views over the Solway Firth. Worth a visit then stop at the Smokehouse for some goodies!
