Why You’ll Love This Holiday

Discover one of Scotland’s best-kept secrets on this relaxing holiday to the beautiful region of Dumfries and Galloway.

 

Often overlooked in favour of Scotland’s more dramatic northern landscapes, this charming corner of the country rewards visitors with sweeping coastlines, rolling countryside, peaceful market towns and magnificent historic landmarks.

 

A highlight of the holiday is the spectacular Drumlanrig Castle, affectionately known as the “Pink Palace” thanks to the distinctive local sandstone used in its construction. Set within vast country estate grounds, the castle is home to grand interiors, world-class art collections and beautiful seasonal gardens.

 

Another unforgettable experience awaits at Logan Botanic Garden, Scotland’s most exotic garden. Benefitting from the warming influence of the Gulf Stream, the gardens enjoy an almost sub-tropical climate, allowing a stunning collection of rare and unusual plants from around the world to flourish.

 

Combined with scenic Scottish touring and time to relax in your comfortable hotel, this holiday offers the perfect blend of heritage, gardens and peaceful countryside escapes.
