For families seeking a slower pace of life coupled with access to some of Scotland’s most beautiful and underrated nature, Dumfries and Galloway is an exceptional choice. Tucked into the southwest, this county offers space, affordability (average house price around £161,000), and a welcoming community atmosphere.

The largest town, Dumfries, serves as the administrative hub and offers a range of secondary schools and employment in the public sector. Further west, Stranraer acts as a gateway town, while Castle Douglas and Kirkcudbright are celebrated for their artistic heritage and attractive independent shops.

The region is famous for its literary connections to Robert Burns, whose life and works are celebrated in Dumfries, and for Gretna Green, the historic wedding mecca. Attractions abound, from the Galloway Forest Park (a Dark Sky Park perfect for stargazing) to medieval strongholds like Caerlaverock Castle. Jobs are mainly found in public services, tourism and a thriving agricultural and forestry sector, providing a stable foundation for family living amidst stunning scenery.
