Few can remain unmoved by the unspoilt beauty of this corner of Scotland. Take a walk along the deserted beaches where Robert Burns journeyed on horseback to catch whisky smugglers or stroll through the rugged grandeur of the Galloway Forest Park, 300 square miles of forest, moorland and lochs where you're more likely to see a deer or bird of prey than another human being. Admire the ancient ruined castles and monuments that set the imagination alight with their whispered hints of what life used to be like, or simply snuggle up in front of a huge open fire and enjoy the utter relaxation that being away from it all brings.
