Established as a Royal Burgh in 1455, Kirkcudbright has always been supported by a busy fishing trade. Behind the harbour the streets have housed generations of creative artists, a tradition maintained today by a flourishing colony of painters and craftworkers. This has led to it being called "The Artists' Town". The original town was built around the old High Street where many old town-houses still survive. With its castle, harbour and mote, it was protected on all sides by the tidal waters of the River Dee and has prospered over many centuries since. Other well known features of the town are the pastel coloured houses and wide streets. If you are in the right town but cannot find the accommodation you want on this page, you might consider self catering accommodation in Kirkcudbright.
