Dumfries and Galloway Visitor Information

Castle Douglas Food Town takes up the 'theme town' concept championed so successfully locally by Wigtown, since it won its designation as Scotland's National Book Town and which is also being developed in the branding of Kirkcudbright as an Art Town. This concept certainly makes these locations stand out as being of importance to anyone with a particular interest in the theme, be it books or art or food. What will be of great benefit to Castle Douglas is that almost everyone has an interest in food!!
