    About the neighbourhood
    It is no coincidence that so many artists have chosen Kirkcudbright as their place of residence. Everywhere you turn there is a view worthy of painting and the town has changed little in the past 200 years so retains much of its original charm. Rattra Cottage is in a wonderful location right in the centre of Kirkcudbright within walking distance of shops, restaurants and pubs. In the High Street itself you will find galleries, craftshops, artists studios, a close leading to the marina and riverside views. There is also a 16th century castle just around the corner opposite the harbour. A range of facilities are available in the town such as a swimming pool and golf course and on the outskirts of town there is even a wildlife conservation park. A little further afield there are several beau...
    How to get there
    Fly to Prestwick Airport with Ryanair - hire a car for the 70 mile drive to Kirkcudbright. Nearest train station: Dumfries (27 miles) bus connections outside station. From south M6 to Gretna, then A75
