The Gladstone is a Georgian town house, simple, elegant and airy. It overlooks the River Dee estuary on one side and the High Street lined with multi coloured houses on the other. The tiny port has art and jazz festivals and The Gladstone does a dollop of haggis with breakfast. The Selkirk Arms, a stagger up the road, was reputedly where Robert Burns drank and wrote.

A listed Georgian town house in this remarkable river town in SW Scotland. The place is immaculate and you are minutes from the magical River Dee and its miniscule working port. The owners do a great haggis breakfast and the drawing room looks out one way to the estuary and the other to the Georgian high street.

Kirk-where? It's pronounced Curr-coo-bree and is tucked away in SW Scotland about a trillion miles from everywhere. The Gladstone is a Georgian town house; simple, elegant and airy. It overlooks the River Dee estuary on one side and the High Street lined with multi coloured houses on the other. The tiny port has art and jazz festivals and The Gladstone does a dollop of haggis with breakfast. The Selkirk Arms, a stagger up the road, was reputedly where Robert Burns drank and wrote.

What a jumble, what a treasure trove. This is an old galleried museum with everything under the sun - rock collections, uniforms, old newspaper cuttings, ancient photographs from Galloway's past and a great assortment of petrified fish. If you're tired of the art exhibits in this little town, nip inside and get lost in the clutter. And it's all free.
