Nestled on the Machars Peninsula and overlooking Wigtown Bay rests the pint-sized coastal village of Garlieston. Famed for its former fishing and cargo harbor, the harbor is in use today for berthing leisure and fishing craft purposes. The village is home to a petrol station with a well-stocked shop and a traditional country pub, offering all of the essentials for an enjoyable staycation. There's plenty to see and do, with the nearby gardens of Galloway House, dating back to 1740, along with a fabulous network of trails leading through woodland and along the calming coastline.

From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.
