The Galloway Golf Classic is an event which is gaining a larger following every year. 'The Loft' makes an ideal base from which to follow this competition. Meanwhile, within easy drive of 'The Loft' holiday cottage you will find Stranraer Golf Club, in a wonderful position overlooking Loch Ryan. Designed by James Braid, this 18-hole course is both challenging and well sited. At Portpatrick you will find the cliff-top Portpatrick Dunskey Golf Course and Clubhouse. With stunning sea views over the Irish Sea and 18 holes to test golfers of all levels this is a great course. The Dinvin Course, also at Portpatrick, offers 9-holes and is ideal for the beginner or those wanting a quicker round. About 2 miles outside of Portpatrick (around 5 miles from 'The Loft;) is the Lagganmore Golf Course and hotel. 

The Mull of Galloway now offers a tearoom with spectacular views out across the sea to Ireland, the Isle of Man and even England on a clear day. The lighthouse there is open to the public in season, and the RSPB have a strong presence at the Mull too. Closer at hand is the picturesque harbour and village of Portpatrick, with its restaurants, bars, antique shops and summertime events such as Lifeboat Week, Sailing Ships week and the Folk Festival.

Fresh meat, game and locally caught seafood all find their way into our shops, smokehouses and restaurants. The town of Castle Douglas, about 50 miles to the east of Stranraer, has re-invented itself as a 'Food Town' and promotes local produce, including organic food, to a wider market. Closer to hand we have smokehouses and plenty of 'farm gate' sales marketing fresh eggs, vegetables, fruit and potatoes. For 'natural' food, you've come to the 'natural place'!

Booklovers should find Wigtown Booktown rewarding. There they will find an increasing number of bookshops and activity centred around books and authors.

During the summer we have a number of local agricultural shows, where folk get together, compete for best-of-breeds, shearing, display their beasts and produce, and generally have fun, meet old friends and enjoy a wee dram or two. You will find any number of village Fetes and Galas happening across the region in Summer too, and visitors are always welcome to join in the fun and games.

As one might expect, the light and sheer scope of Galloway attracts many artists. Over the last few years they have introduced an innovative 'Open Day' program, allowing the public access right into their studios and workshops. If you wish to purchase some of the local artwork, visit the Waterloo Art Gallery in Stranraer, where many of the best artists display (and sell) their work.
