Kirkcudbrightshire is renowned for inspiring artists, from the Glasgow boy Hornel, to Oppenheimer and more contemporary works today. This is due, largely to the completely captivating scenery which ranges from rugged heather clad hills, to woodland glades, and all the while the sea is in the background. As regards amenities in the local village of Auchencairn which is 1.5 miles approx down the road, there is a good garage should you require any vehicle repairs while you are here, and there is also a shop and a PO which are open from 8.30am - midday Monday - Saturday. There is also a Presbyterian Church in Auchencairn. As mentioned previously, there are a large number of activities available in the area, and also a good amount of cafe's restaurants and pubs to refresh yourself.
