An amazing attraction on the Craigengillan Estate. Stargazers can book time to view the cosmos through their professional telescope. (n.b. It is closed just now due to Covid-19.)

Local beauty spot. Go onto the main road, turn left towards Castle Douglas and drive for about a mile. There’s a sign for Loch Doon and turn right. Drive along there for a few miles and you’ll go over a few bridges. Castle Doon is worth a visit and lots of lovely walks around there. The Roundhouse is a little cafe en route and the chap running it (Brian) is very friendly.

Culzean Castle overlooks the Forth of Clyde, near Maybole in Ayrshire. It's a national treasure and a fantastic spot for a day out. Wonderful play parks for kids, big walks along the coast and wee beaches to explore. A national treasure spot!
