There’s a tendency to overlook Dumfries and Galloway. Tucked into the south-west corner of Scotland.

If you’re looking for some of the darkest skies in the UK, you’ll find them in southwest Scotland.

When people think of a romantic getaway in Scotland, the same destinations tend to come up: the Highlands, Skye, or Edinburgh.

The short answer is simple: Galloway is a year-round destination. The better answer depends on what you’re looking for.
