Dumfries and Galloway

The Scottish Lowlands reaches from the Scottish Border, through Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, Wigtown, Dundee, Stirling and the Isle of Mull. This area of Scotland would have to be one of the prettiest with it's castles, forests, glens and the sheer romance that is Scotland.

Lanarkshire is favoured for its plums and strawberries. Ayrshire is an area of hills and farms and was the birthplace of the poet Burns, his most famous poem Auld Lang Syne.

Loch Lomond is also famous being the largest inland waterway in Britain.

Stirling and it's surrounding areas are important agricultural areas for Scotland. Stirling was home to the famous Rob Roy and since the movie "Braveheart" there is renewed interest in this area.

Scotland's has a cool temperate climate. The weather can change rather quickly. A rainy day is often followed by a sunny one. May and June are generally the driest months, but rain can fall at any time.
The North of Scotland experiences winter temperatures below 0ºC, and at times winds off the North Sea can rattle your teeth. The west coast is milder and wetter, with over 1500 mm of rain and average summer highs of 19ºC.
In the highlands, rainfall can be as much as 3000 mm; the average summer high is 18ºC
