Made up of the old counties of Wigtownshire and The Stewartry Galloway covers a vast swathe of Scotland’s quiet southwest corner. This under-discovered area offers 260km of coast full of sandy beaches and towering cliffs lonely heather-clad moors and quiet hills. Add to this plenty of wildlife a rich artistic heritage strong spiritual influences and a climate kissed by the warming Gulf Stream and you have a region beckoning to be visited. Darren Flint and Donald Greig’s handpicked selection of 40 walks reveals the sheer variety of landscapes that makes Galloway so special – from the Mull of Galloway Scotland’s most southerly point to the sweeping Nith Estuary via Merrick Southern Scotland’s highest hill and plenty of hidden corners.
