The harbour town of Kirkcudbright is known as “Scotland’s Artist Town” and was particularly popular with the Colourists (many of whom lived in Kirkcudbright) around 1900. It is a very active, friendly community, and most visitors to the town are surprised at the variety and number of activities and events being held. The town benefits from primary and secondary schools (with an excellent reputation), Health
Centre and Cottage Hospital, Dentist, a wide variety of local shops , library, swimming pool, golf course, and marina. The surrounding country is well known for its variety of beautiful scenery, and within easy reach there are many sandy beaches and rocky coves on the coast. The inland scenery is equally dramatic, with magnificent hills, glens and lochs.
