Forgotten Galloway
This is a digital chronicle of our travels through Dumfries and Galloway, a corner of Scotland where the landscape feels deeply ancient and the pace of life slows to the rhythm of the tides. This region, often bypassed for the Highlands, offers a great blend of rugged coastline and rolling green hills. From the serene, wind-swept shores of the Whithorn peninsula, the cradle of Scottish Christianity, to the vibrant, artistic streets of Kirkcudbright, these records capture the unique spirit of the "Forgotten Galloway."
From Mighty Fortresses to Sacred Ruins
Our explorations delve into the architectural soul of the region, where history is written in red sandstone and towering grey granite. You will find accounts of the imposing, moat-encircled Caerlaverock Castle and the bustling market charm of Castle Douglas. The journey also takes a more contemplative turn at the great monastic ruins of Glenluce and Sweetheart Abbey, each telling a story of devotion and endurance.
