South West Scotland cover

The lovely land of hills, moors and beaches is bounded by the Atlantic and the Solway. Steeped in history and legend, still unspoiled, it is a land whose peace and grandeur are at least comparable to the Highlands, and yet it is hardly known. No area of Scotland better repays exploration than this.

From the Auld Kirk of Alloway where tales of Tam O'Shanter resound, to the legends of St Ninian at one of Scotland's earliest Christian sites, Whithorn, this region is lovingly described by a local author, who will explore with you the splendour of Culzean Castle and delights of Wanlockhead, Scotland's highest village.

Here, you will find ‘that curious pastiche of myths and legend and history that the Scots use to describe their heritage... A lively counterpoint to the more standard, detached guidebook... Intriguing.THE WASHINGTON POST
