A must is a visit to Wigtown, which is famous for being Scotland’s National Book Town, a book lovers haven.

With books throughout, the utility air of the original ‘understairs’ area has been overlaid with vintage textiles, carefully selected furniture, kitchenware, and 21st century facilities to ensure a feeling of splendour. The Old Servants’ Hall is beautifully warm and cosy and is delightfully decorated throughout with stripped wood floors, antique Turkish rugs, an eclectic mix of mid-20th century and antique furniture and sumptuous bed and bedding. Dunragit House has extensive gardens, and paths to the surrounding woodland, rich in Snowdrops and Bluebells in the Spring, which guests are welcome to enjoy.
