There are also a number of sporting activities available, including tennis courts (situated in Colliston Park), golf course, badminton, and the renowned “7 stanes” mountain bike course.

The town itself is well sited a short distance from Dumfries and its new state-of-theart hospital and the attractive Solway Coast around Kippford and Rockcliffe is only a few minutes’ drive away. The regional market town of Castle Douglas (also known as “The Food Town”) and the Artists’ Town of Kirkcudbright are also nearby.
