There is also a school, library and a petrol station with mini-market. Dalry is within the Glenkens which is well served by activities based at the Catstrand in New Galloway bringing community and arts facilities and events to the area.

The south-west of Scotland is a genuinely rural area with its gentle rolling landscape, mild climate and dramatic coastline. The area has a good range of sport and outdoor activities with opportunities for fishing on the nearby rivers, hill walking on the nearby Southern Upland Way or Galloway Forest Park, water sports on Loch Ken and of course golf.
