The Road Trip Continues… SCOTLAND'S SOUTH COAST (Dumfries & Galloway) | SWC300 E10

SOUTH WEST COASTAL 300 E10: My road trip continues along Scotland’s south coast visiting the towns of Kirkcudbright, Gatehouse of Fleet and a historical viaduct at the Big Water of Fleet in Dumfries & Galloway. ➡️ See all of my SWC300 Road Trip in Scotland here → https://bit.ly/mwt_swc300

Today I drove from Creetown close to Newton Stewart along to Sandyhills Beach just south of Dumfries - enjoying some delightful Scottish countryside along the way. I was following the South West Coastal route that traces the south coast of Scotland which passes through some pleasant towns, rolling countryside and gorgeous coastline.

I started the day by exploring the Big Water of Fleet Viaduct, a massive 20 arch 900ft long viaduct originally built in 1861. After taking a stroll across it and admiring the views I drove to my first town of the day - Gatehouse of Fleet where I found an old cotton mill, a peaceful park and a historical high street serving as the centre of town. Lovely place and well worth stopping by.

I continued driving east stopping at Carrick Beach overlooking the Islands of Fleet for some lunch - there wasn’t very much about so it was lucky I came prepared with a packed lunch. I drove down some narrow single-track coastal roads and eventually arrived in Kirkcudbright by mid afternoon. There I took a self guided tour along the harbour, down close to the marina, past the 16th century MacLellan's Castle ending up at Kirkcudbright Tolbooth which is now an art gallery.

Once I’d learnt about the history of Kirkcudbright I pressed on towards Sandyhills Beach which would be the final part of the vlog. Along the way I visited Orchardton Tower, Dhoon Beach and the ruins of Dundrennan Abbey all whilst enjoying yet more stunning scenery on the south coast of Scotland.
