About New Galloway

Known for

Scotland's smallest Royal Burgh, the Galloway Forest Park (Britain's largest forest and first Dark Sky Park), the Ken-Dee Marshes, and a tiny Galloway village of extraordinary natural setting

A little history

New Galloway was granted Royal Burgh status in 1629 — it is Scotland's smallest Royal Burgh. The Galloway Forest Park, surrounding the area, is the largest forest in Britain and was the UK's first Dark Sky Park — the stargazing here is extraordinary. The Ken-Dee Marshes are an important nature reserve.

Local tip

The Galloway Dark Sky Park stargazing is genuinely extraordinary — some of the darkest skies in Britain. The Ken-Dee Marshes RSPB for red kites and ospreys. The Loch Ken for water sports. The village itself is charming.
