Welcome to our page of information, attractions and places of interest around Kirkcudbright. The Kirkcudbright hotels listed below are either in the town or we have given a rough guide as to how far they are from Kirkcudbright. From Kirkcudbright you can explore the the Solway coast with miles of deserted sandy beaches, rocky coves and cliff-top paths; the Galloway Hills, an area of beautiful moors, mountains, lakes and rivers, and the Southern Upland Way, one of the most challenging long-distance footpaths in Scotland. We hope you enjoy your stay and find your ideal accommodation from our list of Kirkcudbright hotels and/or the surrounding area. 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.
