Compared with other parts of the country, southwest Scotland is shamefully under-visited.

Notice to Kirkcudbright Residents

We are holding our annual Tattoo on Saturday 24th August and as part of this, there will be a fireworks display at approximately 10pm for 5 minutes. The fireworks are situated at the High Park and are carried out by a professional company, who will use the quietest fireworks they can, but we wanted to forewarn those with nervous pets etc.

Please pass onto anyone who stays in the area around the High Park.

If you're looking to come along to the Tattoo, you can buy tickets at www.ticketsource.co.uk/kirkcudbright and from the Festivities Charity Shop or the Visitor Information. Details about the event can be found on our page.
