Fall in love with Sweetheart Abbey
Your tour of the cultural heartland of Dumfriesshire would be incomplete without a visit to Sweetheart Abbey. A former Cistercian monastery, it was built by the lovelorn widow of Baron John de Balliol in 1273. As only a medieval widow could, Dervorguilla of Galloway kept her husband's embalmed heart with her for the rest of her life and had it buried beside her after she died. She named the Abbey ‘Dulce Cor’ (Sweetheart).
Go wild in Dumfriesshire
Mossburn Community Farm, Galloway Conservation Park, and Monreith Animal World are just a few of the many animal-related sights to be seen in the area. The conservation park has nearly 150 different exotic animals, housed in large enclosures. Meanwhile, Monreith is set on 12 acres of countryside and Mossburn lets you care for the animals firsthand.
Secret treasures of Dumfries and Galloway
Caerlaverock Castle
Dating to the 13th century, this castle is one of Scotland's most famous. Inhabited for 400 years, it looks as though it could have served as Shakespeare's inspiration as he was writing Macbeth. Moated and partially ruinous, it has everything you could ask for in a castle.
Mull of Galloway Lighthouse
Like moths to a light, visitors are drawn to this award-winning lighthouse. Perched on the edge of a cliff, it stands 99 metres above sea level. Come and see its spectacular engine room, where you can see the instruments that made this one of the first lighthouses to use electricity. You can also ascend its 115 steps to the summit to enjoy the remarkable views.
Threave Garden
Almost 100 years old, these gardens make for the perfect family day out. Discover the secret garden, patio garden, and rock garden. Follow the bat trail and learn more about these sonically driven creatures, or check out the osprey viewing platform, which is the best place in the area for spotting birds of prey soaring overhead.
Drumlanrig Castle
This castle is the real deal, although it is often used for filming fictional TV series and films. The turreted castle's 120 rooms are still home to the dukes and duchesses of Dumfriesshire. You can attend one of the many events that animate the 90,000-acre estate, or you can bike its trails, fish the river, and steep yourself in the painted masterpieces of Rembrandt and Gainsborough.
Logan Botanic Garden
The most exotic of Scotland's gardens, Logan is surprisingly home to a variety of ferns and palms, despite its Scottish setting. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, this vibrant paradise is a world away from the subtle shades of the surrounding countryside.
