About Kirkcudbright.
Kirkcudbright is an ancient and royal burgh, a medieval market town steeped in history. It has successfully retained its older character, and has developed a modernity all of its own.
At the western end of our street is McLellan's Castle (right) a ruined 16th Century tower house which provides a romantic backdrop to the town. And across the street is Greyfriars, a restored church on the site of the old mote from which the town and surrounding countryside were ruled.
Leading on from the Castle is the Old High Street where there is a pleasant mixture of houses erected over several centuries. Many are painted in bright colours adding to its charm. Over 100 years ago Kirkcudbright became popular as an artists' colony, being frequented by many famous artists and craftsmen. E.A. Hornel was one of Kirkcudbright's most famous sons, and other residents included E.A. Taylor and his wife Jessie M King, Samuel J Peploe, William Mouncey and W.S. MacGeorge.
In the Old High Street stands The Tolbooth (below right) which was at one time the town's prison and council chambers, and has recently been converted into an arts centre providing gallery accommodation for the best of the local Museum Service's painting collection. There are also artists' workshops, and solo exhibitions are occasionally mounted. The Old High Street is also the home of several outlets for contemporary artists and craftspeople of the town.
Moving to the more modern section of the town, there is a wide variety of traditional country shopping, where many businesses are family owned and you are certain of friendly and helpful service.
Dividing the old and the new is our large Harbour Square overlooking the harbour and marina. Kirkcudbright is positioned on the estuary of the Kirkcudbrightshire River Dee and the harbour is home to our fleet of Scallop dredgers. The marina, with its pontoon, provides a safe deep water anchorage for pleasure cruisers.

We are confident that, if you decide to make Kirkcudbright your holiday or short-break destination, you will fall in love with it and want to return again and again. We wish you a very happy holiday.
