The jewel in Dumfries & Galloway is the Colvend Coast lying along the northern shore of the Solway Firth. Known as the Scottish Riviera for its mild microclimate, luxury estates, and watersports facilities, this region is ideal as a weekend retreat, a second home, or a private hideaway. Stretching from Kippford, a beautiful sailing village in the West, to Caulkerbush with its quaint cottages in the East, breathtaking scenery and natural beauty mark the Scottish Riviera as a great escape from city life.
