Wigtown DG8

Just south on the Machars Peninsula lies Wigtown, Scotland’s National Book Town. The town is home to around 17 independent bookshops and book-related businesses, including The Book Shop, the largest second-hand bookshop in Scotland. Each autumn, the internationally acclaimed Wigtown Book Festival attracts thousands of visitors and renowned authors, creating a vibrant cultural atmosphere. Whisky enthusiasts can also enjoy a visit to Bladnoch Distillery, one of Scotland’s oldest working distilleries, located just a short drive from the town square. Rich in history and heritage, the area is also home to the Martyrs’ Stake, a monument commemorating the tragic execution of the Wigtown Martyrs in 1685 for their Covenanter religious beliefs. Situated some 7 miles from Wigtown is the market town of Newton Stewart, beautifully situated on the banks of the River Cree and serves as the perfect base for outdoor adventures, with easy access to the scenic lochs of Glen Trool and the extensive walking and cycling trails of Galloway Forest Park. The town also offers excellent local amenities, including both primary and secondary schools, a leisure centre, a variety of shops, a cinema, and a local doctor’s surgery, making it an attractive and well-connected community for both residents and visitors alike.
