The Townhouse, 9 Union Street, Kirkcudbright

9 Union Street retains many traditional features which preserve the character of
the property including original wooden doors, stripped pine floors, sash and case
windows to front and ceiling cornicing and coving in some rooms.

Kirkcudbright is an attractive harbour town situated on the banks of the River Dee.
The town itself is of historic and architectural interest with its ancient High Street,
Tolbooth Arts Centre, Stewartry Museum and numerous galleries. Long frequented
by artists, Kirkcudbright was home to the renowned artist, EA Hornel, one of the
“Glasgow Boys”. This tradition is maintained today by a flourishing colony of
painters and craft workers which has led to Kirkcudbright being named the “Artists’
Town”.

Kirkcudbright enjoys a wide variety of mainly family owned shops, pubs, hotels and
restaurants, whilst offering a wide range of facilities, including its own swimming
pool, golf course, marina, bowling green, squash & tennis courts and an active
summer festivities programme, including its own Jazz Festival and Tattoo. There is
also a modern primary school, secondary school and health centre.
