About Castle Douglas

Known for

Scotland's Food Town, Threave Castle on its river island, the Galloway countryside, and a Dumfriesshire market town with an extraordinary artisan food culture

A little history

Castle Douglas was founded in 1792 by merchant William Douglas. The town declared itself Scotland's Food Town in 1995 and has built an impressive independent food culture. Threave Castle — a 14th century tower house on an island in the River Dee — is nearby.

Local tip

The independent food shops on King Street are exceptional. Threave Castle is accessible by rowing boat (ring the bell on the bank). The Galloway countryside for cycling.
