Galloway Kite Trail An exciting nature watching opportunity
The Galloway Red Kite Trail, an exciting nature watching opportunity to view spectacular red kites in lovely scenery is now attracting the attention of walkers, cyclists, wildlife lovers and birdwatchers in Dumfries and Galloway and from much further afield. The 'Galloway Kite Trail' around beautiful Loch Ken promotes the population of kites, recently re-established in Kirkcudbrightshire, as a source of nature-based tourism to benefit local communities in the area. In so doing, the trail is helping to strengthen the 'ownership' of the kites by local communities and tourist operators. The trail is an anticlockwise route of some twenty four miles around Loch Ken (winter) with an additional fourteen miles of forest drive (summer only). Being out on a bike is a great way to spot red kites and for the energetic, it’s a reasonably level route, with cycle racks provided at Boat O Rhone, New Galloway and Mossdale. The west side of Loch Ken is particularly quiet and attractive for cyclists.

Sulwath Brewery Come and meet the brewers!
Come and meet the brewer, learn the secrets of preparing
traditionally crafted ales, and see for yourself the care and skill that
goes into making a fine hand brewed Scottish pint using 100% natural ingredients
We take great pride in the production of our products which are brewed
traditionally, with no concentrates, colourings or extract and with accent
on the taste of yesteryear.
When was the last time you savoured the aroma
of a mass produced beer, or tasted its wholesome natural flavour? The name
"Sulwath" is the ancient name for the Solway Estuary. This is reputed to
date back to a ford, or crossing near the mouth of the river Esk which marked
the border between Scotland and England around the 13th Century, and from
general usage, the estuary became known as "Sulwath" with the predominance
of migratory seabirds in the upper reaches of the Solway. Come & meet
the brewer on our conducted tour every Monday & Friday at 1pm
