VISITOR ATTRACTIONS
What makes Southern Scotland such a hugely popular tourist destination is the fantastic variety of attractions and activities packed into a small hub with easy access to tour the rest of the country. When exploring at your own pace, you can revel in the lively, cosmopolitan entertainment of the towns and cities, enjoy the wealth of artistic and cultural activities running throughout the year, sample some of the best cuisine in the world, explore the country's dramatic and colourful history and natural heritage, spectate from the sidelines or take a more active role in a wide variety of sporting pursuits.
