Exploring Kirkcudbright Dumfries And Galloway Scotland, The Artists Town
ฝัง

- Join me to explore the historic town of Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The town of Kirkcudbright became a magnet for Scottish artists in the late 19th century, and is now known as The Artists' Town because of this association. Kirkcudbright is recognisable for its different coloured houses with the blend of medieval, Georgian and Victorian architecture. Kirkcudbright is a town, a parish and a royal burgh from 1455 in Kirkcudbrightshire, of which it is traditionally the county town, within Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Kirkcudbright has recently been cited as one of Scotland's best towns to retire.
Dumfries and Galloway is one of the 32 unitary council areas of Scotland, located in the western part of the Southern Uplands. It is bordered by East Ayrshire, South Ayrshire, and South Lanarkshire to the north; Scottish Borders to the north-east; the English county of Cumbria, the Solway Firth, and the Irish Sea to the south, and the North Channel to the west. The administrative centre and largest settlement is the town of Dumfries. The second largest town is Stranraer, located 76 miles (122 km) to the west of Dumfries on the North Channel coast.
Dumfries and Galloway corresponds to the historic shires of Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire, and Wigtownshire, the last two of which are collectively known as Galloway. The three counties were combined in 1975 to form a single region, with four districts within it. The districts were abolished in 1996, since when Dumfries and Galloway has been a unitary local authority. For lieutenancy purposes, the area is divided into three lieutenancy areas called Dumfries, Wigtown, and the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, broadly corresponding to the three historic counties.

This is awesome. Centuries of history.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much for coming along 🙂👍
Lovely video
Beautiful area and quaint town, Paul. I can see why artists would have been drawn to it! Beautiful architecture and St Mary Peninsula was lovely. Thanks for bringing us along.
Hi Dave n Kathy, Kirkcudbright sure is a gem of a town with quite a bit history. St Mary's Isle was very hermit friendly. I'm glad you enjoyed the explore. Thank you very much for coming along. Have a great week ahead 🙂👍Paul
Beautiful video my friend👍41
very nice walk my friend, great views 👍👍
Beautiful and amazing view of the place I enjoy watching thanks for the tour
Nice 👍🏻
That was a great little town you showed us.
Stepping back in time 😮😮😮
Have a great week and thanks for the tour today Paul 🫵🙏
I'm glad you enjoyed the explore. It sure was a gem of a place. Thank you very much for watching. Enjoy the rest of your week 🙂👍Paul
First here Paul.
Wow.
Great views 😊❤
Hi Aishu, I'm glad you enjoyed the views. You're still quick off the mark. Sorry I've not been around of late. I took a break but back now. Thanks for watching 🙂👍Paul
Quaint Harbour town. Very lovely. The old church is beautiful
Kirkcudbright sure was a bit of a gem. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for watching 👍
Nice information 👍 Thank you for sharing 😊
Today, I can watch it with a relaxed mind as if I were looking at a piece of art. It's a calm and beautiful surrounding environment. Thank you for the detailed explanation.💖💖
Thank you for your hard work. Have a happy rest of the weekend.😍😍👍👍
I'm glad you enjoyed this tour of Kirkcudbright. It sure is a peaceful place that the masses have not latched onto yet. Thank you very much for watching. I hope you're keeping well 🙂👍
Nice travel vlog 👌 thanks for sharing 😊
Beautiful, thank you for sharing! Thumbs up, and greetings from Canada!
This is absolutely amazing work man, such a beautiful and picturesque little town! Everything looks so peaceful and quiet! 👏👏
A bit of a hidden gem of a place that the masses have not latched onto yet. The walk around St Mary's Isle was particularly peaceful 🙂
What a fabulous video, I was beginning to wonder if there were people in this town until the farmers market, but frankly already had me at scallops. This was a delightful sharing of a quaint, beautiful town in Scotland.
It's a lovely place, we visited a couple of years ago when staying at nearby Rockcliffe...wouldn't mind go back again
Didn't manage to get to Rockcliffe and Kipford but Kirkcudbright is a little gem of a place. I hope to explore some more of the region one day
That is some really nice places to visit. I really miss Scotland 😊😊😊
It sure was a little gem of a place. I always like to visit Scotland at least once a year 🙂
What a fantastic little town. I'm not that familiar with Dumfries and Galloway so hadn't heard of it before but it looks definitely worth a visit.
It's only an area I have explored in the last 12 months myself. It does uncover some right gems and it seems somewhat undiscovered by the masses. Well worth a visit before they catch on. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much for taking time watch 👍🙂Paul
Strange how the sea takes and gives. What a charming water side village for artists! The church and castle pretty amazing to gaze at. Looks like a place to retire to especially with a boat. Ah good old John Paul Jones wink to the US. Hope the seat gave you some good thoughts. Really a great place Paul. Enjoyed the tour of Kikcudbright. 👍 Thanks, Mike
Hi Mike, Kirkcudbright sure was a gem of a place with quite a bit of history. A place the masses don't seem to have latched on to yet. I'd actually never heard of John Paul Jones before visiting here so I learned a bit. Unfortunately I got no insights from the chair but I guess it's cos I'm not a god. I'm glad you enjoyed the explore. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week ahead 🙂👍Paul
Great walkabout Kirkcudbright and the artist toon 😍👍
Good book shop there too. Hopefuly still there.👍
Have a sunny day every day Hiking Hermit, from Paul & Kathy in GB 🤝👍✊
I'm glad you enjoyed the explore. My first time there. It seems the masses haven't discovered it yet. Thanks for watching 👍🙂Paul
So enjoyable to watch. You sure picked a gorgeous piece of the country to share. Love the views. Shared with a friend. Her comment was “oh how gorgeous”. Need I say more. Thanks for this wee escape during this wet and windy morning. 👌🇳🇱🙋♀️🥝
Hi Anita, I'm glad you enjoyed this explore of Kirkcudbright and thank you very much for the share. It was a bit of a gem of a find with lots of history. Also nice that there was a farmers market and a art weekend when I visited too. This part of the world doesn't seem to be on the masses radar yet. Thank you very much for watching. I hope your weather improves soon 👍🙂Paul
Hi Paul it looked so beautiful here. Leaving a like but watching it fully over breakfast as we have just got home. The church looked lovely 👍 ~ Anna
Hi Anna, thank you very much for hitting the 👍 There are some hidden gems in Dumfries and Galloway that the masses haven't caught onto yet 🙂
Beautiful place,wow 1592 the castle..thanks
Hi Paul Firstly big apologies for our tardiness we are now back from our Xplorations of the Picos de Europa and are doing TH-cam catch up on video watching! Loving this what a fabulous area! Love all the historic buildings and then the brightly coloured painted doors and windows! The bright Barbie pink Fiat 500 tickled us next to those historic remains! Lovely narration in our favourite Northern accent! Loved you on that giant chair of course you had to check it out! What a fabulous market and yay to free parking 😂 sold! Then a lovely forest and lakeside walk, tragic about the house lost to a fire! And you can visualise that jetty being used back in the day! We did enjoy these Xplorations 👍❤️
Hi Nick n Jill, I hope you had a great trip. I'd say enjoying your trip comes first before watching any videos. That's my motto when away anyway. I also recently took a month off from all things TH-cam and enjoyed it a bit too much. Kirkcudbright was quite the gem of a place with lots of history. It's actually the first time I had heard of it and it seems the masses haven't heard of it either. Those Barbie cars get everywhere ha ha. I thought you would approve of the free parking and this town had it in abundance. The walk around St Mary's Isle was very hermit friendly and seemed to have a lot of history in itself. Thank you very much for watching. Enjoy the rest of your week 👍🙂Paul
Beautiful walk, loved hearing all about the area
I'm glad you enjoyed this explore of Kirkcudbright. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
เป็นเมืองที่สงบและน่าอยู่มาก 😍👍
Yes, very nice my freind 🙂
Hi there Paul, I love the development of your channel, good job! Some amazing tours you've done in the last six months! Congrats! Charming little town, fantastic tour, like I'm there and I love the artist's studios, perfect place for it. Cheers Alexandra
Hi Alexandra, I'm glad you like it. I just post what I get up to on my travels and I did have an awesome trip to Germany and Austria last year. I'm in Copenhagen for a long weekend soon plus I have another big trip planned. As for Kirkcudbright it was a gem of a town that the masses haven't discovered yet. I can see why people choose to retire there. Thank you very much for watching. I hope you have been keeping well 👍🙂Paul
That was a wonderful walk around the Artists Town . Haven't been there so I really enjoyed going around with you 👍😍 Thanks for sharing . Have a great weekend ahead 👍🥰🙏💕👋
Wow!!! Nice place, thanks for walking us there 😊
Morning Paul, that was great. 🙂 It's such a beautiful place and I can understand why artists were drawn here, the harbour is so beautiful and I loved the sound of all of the birds, its like our garden ! Loved the castle, such a beautiful location for it and the church was lovely too, Interesting where it got its name from, shame it was closed.
I can see why people like to retire here with the quietness and reasonable house prices. Pretty coloured houses with all of the various architecture and the marina looked really peaceful. The farmers market looked good too, quite big ! I would love to have done that circular walk. Enjoyed seeing this and all of the information and history of this place that you gave . Can't leave another like but will leave this 👏😃~ Anna
Hi Anna, it was lovely peaceful town until you hit the farmers market which seemed to sell quite a variety of goods. It seems that a lot of the Scottish castles are closed for inspection at present and they don't seem in any hurry to open them. The circular walk around St Mary's Isle was very hermit friendly as I barely saw a soul. I'm glad you enjoyed this explore of Kirkcudbright along with some of its history, Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
*_A wonderful journey of discovery with many sights. There were many beautiful places to discover there, you showed us these very well. In general, you have a beautiful channel, there is a lot to see, which arouses my interest, to get ideas.... Thank you here for the great introduction and best regards, from Germany, Angela_*

Thank you for this.... I will send this to all my pals who have not yet visited us since we moved to the area.... ( we moved here in December 2023)
You're most welcome. A lovely area to move into it. Also seems to be an area not yet discovered by the masses. Hopefully your pals enjoy the video and it entices them to come visit you soon 🙂
Hallo, vielen lieben Dank für deine tolle Arbeit,👍 wünschen dir eine schöne Woche ❤ danke für gegenseitige Unterstützung 🔔 Siggi & Anne 👍
Hi Paul! Kirkcudbright looks like a very interesting area of Scotland to visit, with so much interesting history. Loved seeing the old buildings, the site of the old castle and the harbor. I loved the walking path around St Mary's Isle, the views were pretty and it looked nice an quiet. I hope you are having a great week! Take care. ~ Anita😊👍
Hi Anita, Kirkcudbright sure was a little gem of a place and lots of history. We can sometimes get a bit blase about old buildings etc in the UK. It was also pretty peaceful, well except for the Farmer's market which sold a wide variety of goods. The walk around St Mary's Isle was very hermit friendly and peaceful. I'm glad you enjoyed the explore. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week 👍🙂Paul
Hi Paul. Really enjoyed this video. Have not heard of the town. But it certainly looks a great place to wander around. Good to see a working harbour. Love all the houses and you can see they are cared for. Such a shame the church and the castle were closed. Would have been interesting to see inside. Quiet looking high street. Lots of great history here. Great seeing everyone out enjoying the market and free parking is always a good thing. A great tour mate. Really enjoyed. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Hi Watto, I'd not heard of this town before I ventured into the area. I had to learn how to pronounce it too. I hope I got it right ha ha. Kirkcudbright is a smashing little town full of history. It seems a lot of castles in Scotland are closed for repair at the moment. They don't seem in too much of a hurry to complete the work either. Kickcudbright was quite a peaceful place until you hit the hustle and bustle of the market. Free parking is a unique thing these days. I parked my car in the main car park and expected to pay. Most councils fleece as much as they can these days without thinking of the negative impact that might have. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
Hi Paul, this looks a lovely little place to visit, love the harbour area. The Castle looks amazing, a lovely little church by the harbour. The marina looked very pretty. Interesting to hear about the spring fling. The farmer's market looks very well stocked. Lovely video, nice to see you back, take care x Julie and Tony x
Hi Julie n Tony, Kirkcudbright was a bit of a gem of a town with quite a bit of history. I'm glad you enjoyed the explore. Hopefully I will have a few more videos to come in the near future. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week ahead 👍🙂Paul
Wow what a place, it looks like a beautiful harbour town! One of those amazing places that look exactly like it has come off from a postcard :) beautiful little church and i approve of the bird noise :D The marina is lovely and im not surprised the over 60s want to live there. Kirkcudbright castle site looks very beautiful and a great place to be based :) Nice to find the farmers market x
It sure is a little gem of a place that the masses haven't found yet. It has a lot of history too. There were plenty of birds nests high up in the trees so plenty of chatter going on. It wouldn't be a bad place to retire. The farmers market seemed to sell quite the array of goods. I'm glad you enjoyed the explore. Thank you very much for taking time to watch 🙂
Did Odin's Seat give you any divine insights? Maybe it whispered the best place to get a good Scottish pie! Kirkcudbright sounds like a wonderful blend of history and culture. Love the historic houses and churches and yeah can't beat free parking! That looked like a fun market.
Unfortunately no insights. I guess I am not a god. Kirkcudbright sure was a gem of a place and free parking is a rare commodity these days. The market seemed to have a wide variety of local produce on sale. Thank you very much for watching 👍🙂 Paul
The castles are especially intriguing in this area. I enjoyed hearing the history and significance of castles and where they once stood. Also the prison, I can imagine how many more stories there are. Looks like a big market with lots of fresh foods to choose from💯💯 Can't miss the Rhododendron forest path near the end!
This was quite the gem of a town with lots of history that the masses have not discovered yet. I wondered what those flowers were on St Mary's Isle so thanks for clearing that up. I'm glad you enjoyed the explore. I hope you're having a great weekend 🙂
Thanks for showing me how this place is pronounced Paul, I've only ever seen it written down. Looks like a nice town, can see why people retire there. Reminds me of what Britain used to be like (Christ I sound old 😅) some nice spots there for wild camping out on the 'isle' great narration Paul and welcome back
Hi Matt, well I'm not sure I totally nailed the pronunciation but it's a darn sight better than what I would have first attempted 😂 The town was pretty peaceful until you hit the farmers market which seemed to sell quite the array of goods. I only saw 2 people on St Mary's Isle and that was at the very start and the very end. I'd say it would be a great place for a wild camp. I thought I'd kick off my comeback with a full narration video. The ugly mush will be back on the next one tho 😂 Thanks for watching 🙂
Fascinating place Paul
Love the pronunciation- never realised that was how you say it.
Never visited there but it looks a beautiful little place. The harbour is pretty and it’s interesting that so many fishing boats are still based there.
The Castle must have had a commanding position across the estuary and fascinating to see that an original castle is in a different place. Must be u usual that - maybe because the estuary had sorted up a bit at some stage?
Enjoyed the final walk - very beautiful.
Hope you’re having a good week mate 👍👍👍
Hi Dave, yeah I had to research that name before I left and then the lady at the place I was staying also said it. I'm not sure I completely nailed it but it was a lot better than what I would have attempted without knowing. It sounds like Kirkcudbright had possibly 3 different castles at differing times. A tad unusual I would say for quite a small town. The walk around St Mary's Isle was very hermit friendly and didn't see a soul except at the very start and very end. I'm glad you enjoyed the explore. Thank you very much for watching. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week 🙂👍Paul
Great walking tour Paul (looked nice and quiet and peaceful) 👌🏻I guess everyone was at the market which looked good too 👍
Great to see you back mate 👍
ATB Simon
Thanks Simon. Yeah I took a few weeks away from all things TH-cam. Part of that was a trip to Scotland. This place is exactly as you said it very peaceful until you hit the farmers market. A gem of place with lots of history that the masses haven't latched onto yet. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. I hope you're keeping well 👍🙂Paul
@@TheHikingHermit all well thanks Paul 🙏🏼 it’s good to get of planet TH-cam once and a while (to re org and get back at it 👌🏻)
ATB
What an interesting sounding name ‘kurkcudbright’ is. I wouldn’t have known how to pronounce it if I hadn’t just heard you say it.
And I still don't think I pronounced it right but I gave it a shot 🙂
Hi Paul
Hope you are well 😊
Great video with lots of information.
It looked a lovely place
Loved the castle.
Shame the church was closed
Think we will add it to our must visit list on one of our Scottish roadtrips.
Hope you're having a good week 😊
Hi Morgs, Jo & Bo, I'm doing great after my little break from TH-cam. Kirkcudbright is a little gem of a place and one certainly worth a visit. I'm glad you enjoyed the explore. I hope you're all keeping well 🙂👍Paul
Hi Paul,
Finally, I caught your notification.
Your voice over sounded, I would say, Really beyond profession. Nice and smooth flaw is remarkable.
I truly enjoy history, and architecture in this cozy town. scallops? I am in hahaha
Hmmm.. Elder PPL retire on this land for silence and charm? Florida is one of the states PPL like to retire, BC no state income tax to pay and new HOA housing is always built constantly. Beautiful sea salt life at the end, maybe. Boats and seafood. hahhah
Impressive filming on stone houses, woods, historical monument, ruin, churches....you name it. The weather was overcast, but you always pull off the best. I can tell so many potential visitors are planning to visit right now watching your complete trave guide vid.
Well done, Paul. Bravo!! Miss your humor...hahahaha Ooops Did I miss vids before this?? So sorry.. I did not know. OTW.
I am glad you enjoy film making at your pace... Please allow me some time to drop my comments on those vids I missed. I had scramble this past week, still having muscle ache hahaha. Ta-Ta...you travel safe, Paul
Hi Ms Kayak, it's my first video in over a month. I took a break from all things TH-cam. Over sounded? Do you mean my chit chat was a bit too loud? Kirkcudbright was quite the historical little town to have a look around. Not many towns this size have had 3 different castles in their time. Ah I guess this is my serious documentary voice video 😂 My dry humour may make an outing some time soon. Ah scrambling. I hope you had fun. Sounds like you're doing more hiking than me at present. Tho my next video will be a hiking one. Thank you very much for watching. It's much appreciated. Great to see you. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
@@TheHikingHermit I will drop off my comments on last two vids I missed. Sometimes I don't see notifications at all. I was afraid you retired from YT hahhahah...My comments started to disappearing. so I may have to try it again later. Ta-Ta...oh..yes everybody is waiting for your French hahahha
@@ms.kayak7seas you don't get rid of me that easy ha ha. I'll be posting a few more videos in the coming weeks plus I have more trips planned or I should say booked.
I'd no idea that so many scallops were landed here !, My absolute favourite food but I'd never get through that lot even if I did retire here haha Well seems I'm too young to qualify for that anyway ! After watching this I feel quite ashamed that my main reason for visiting this fabulous little town in the past was for the most wonderful chippy that had monkfish & squid on the menu !, sadly closed last time I visited so had to make do with eating at the Selkirk Arms. You really did a lot of research here with so many historic facts. My Scottish friends might quibble slightly over your pronunciation of Kirkcudbright , but to be honest it's pretty damn close & could have been much much worse so well done 😊 Lucky you got to visit when the Spring Fling was on & the market too looked amazing. If you get the chance come back again when it's the Riding of the Marches ... A Border Town thing .. Haha that chair really suited you...Great video Paul showing that this little town has so much to offer
Well I had a bit of a wander round and it was quite the gem of a place that the masses don't seem to have found yet. I wasn't 100% sure whether I had nailed the pronunciation of Kirkcudbright but then someone who used to be local watched the video and confirmed it was wrong. Kirkcudbright does have a lot of history for such a small town and also had 3 different castles. I seemed to land lucky with the Spring Fling and the farmers market being on when I visited. I'm glad you enjoyed the explore and some of things you have been missing on your visits tho I didn't spot the chippy ha ha. Thank you very much for watching 🙂👍
great video spot on as we used to live near there . The only fault is that you can`t pronounce kirkcudbright properly but apart from that very good
I'm glad you enjoyed it, well apart from my dodgy pronunciation. I wasn't 100% on whether I'd nailed it but now I know for sure I didn't. I hope it didn't detract from the video too much.
hey, there's my favorite hermit! i noticed you didn't greet the crows we could hear. perhaps off camera? always gotta say "ho crows." i liked the colorful houses. i feel like i did a puzzle once that had some of these doorways. look at you chatting away with people. did you know the spring fling was happening when you booked your trip? loved seeing the farmer's market and st mary's isle (SO green and peaceful!), but my favorite was you in the the throne. 😁 this was a beautiful place to visit. how far is this place from your home? 🛴❤
Hi Anne, do you know many hermits ha ha. Those crows weren't half making a racket and lots of nests in those tree tops. The houses there were pretty unique and colourful. I'm quite sociable for a hermit. You might be surprised at how much so when I want to be. I heard about the Spring Fling from the lady whose B&B I was staying at. I would have took some video of inside of some of the art studios but they were mostly cramped and full of people. I thought the event was worth a mention tho. St Mary's Isle was a lot more peaceful than I expected and had to go off track a bit to get the better views. Still worth a walk tho and a lot flatter than I'm used to. I had to sit on Odin's throne. It was a big chair. Kirkcudbright is about 3 hours drive from where I live. I did venture further from home onto a couple of the Scottish islands too on this trip where my ugly mug will appear on some of those videos 😂Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul
@@TheHikingHermit i know you're sociable, just look how nicely you answer my long-ass comments. 🤣 looking forward to more mug shots. maybe you'll find a really tiny chair to perch on one day. 😉
@@scootladychicago yeah my reply was longer than your comment. I could have just said great comment 🤣
@@TheHikingHermit 🤣🤣🤣
i almost only posted "great video sharing! new fan here! 👍" from our earlier convo 🤣🤣🤣
@@scootladychicago ha ha yeah the cut n paste comment on every video 🤣
Hello Joking Hermit! Ah..an artist town; maybe I should retire there; but I have a feeling I would be an outsider:-) I believe those crows were trying to get your attention; trying to hit you up for a beer? Such a quaint and pretty little town with an awesome Farmer's Market and walking trails. Great tour as always Paul! Thank you and Happy Week!
Hi Tracey, sounds like just the place for you to retire. I could just see you with a studio there. I'd pop in to crack some jokes. Yeah those crows weren't half making a racket. I didn't have a beer whilst there but I did have cake n coffee. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour of Kirkcudbright. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 👍🙂 Paul
Hi Paul, what a picturesque and quaint historic town. I remember we used the name in one of our pronunciation videos 😀 I didn't know about it being known as 'The Artists' Town' but I can see why it would attract artists to come and paint there. I enjoyed your tour of the town and learning more about its history. All the best ~ Julie & Lucy 😊😊
Hi Julie n Lucy, the town was quite a gem that the masses haven't latched on to yet so quite hermit friendly. My pronunciation was wrong according to a local who watched my video. The town is quite historic for such a small place. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour of Kirkcudbright. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. Have a great up and coming weekend 🙂👍Paul
