Excellent small gallery focusing on local artists in a lovely location between MacLellan's Castle and the harbour, putting on shows in a variety of media throughout the year. The friendly staff - and a visitor who had worked for him - were generous with their time and insights when I called in to ask about an artist featured in an earler show.

A lovely , welcoming shop and cafe , situated near the Tolbooth in the centre of Sanquhar . I don't think we have stayed in a town which has such friendly locals , who have made us feel so much at home . That they did so in these difficult times is to their credit . We had a lovely afternoon tea for two , sat outside in the sun with our dog . The staff went out of their way to cater for our dietary needs ( vegetarian and vegan ) , were attentive and helpful without being obtrusive . Well done to all of them .
