Dumfries and Galloway Vacations

Warmed by the Gulf Stream, this is the mildest corner of Scotland, with beautiful coastal scenery and some rugged mountains reminiscent of its highland cousins. Less visited than other regions it nonetheless has some interesting spots. Dumfries has links with Robert the Bruce and Robert Burns; Gretna Green is the original quickie marriage one stop solution and Eskdalemuir is site of Samye Ling, the first Buddhist monastery in the west, a still thriving community with an impressive Tibetan temple, a range of courses and accomodation on offer.
