Kirkcudbright is a historic and picturesque town resting on the banks of the tidal waters of the River Dee, on the north Solway shore. The town was established as a Royal burgh in 1455, giving it status to trade with ports outside Scotland, and has always been supported by a busy fishing trade. Behind this working harbour, is a very attractive town centre, complete with mystic ruined McLellan's Castle. Also worth a visit is the interesting Stewartry Museum, housing a collection of items representing the life and times on the Solway coast.
