Marlin is set in a quiet street in this delightful little village with a pub and restaurant just across the road. This little village was once known locally as ’Glasgow of the South’, the village used to have a thriving industry with cotton mills, shipbuilding, a brewery and its own port. Nowadays, its rich past can only be seen in the street names and inside the former textile mill, the mill on the Fleet, which now houses exhibitions. Cardoness Castle sits at the far end of the village from where you can get a birds eye view of the surrounding area and is well worth the climb.

Just a few miles along the coast there are some beautiful beaches including Cardoness and Mossyard which are both delightful and from the town you can take many different and varied walking routes which take in scenic coastal walks to forest trails. The area really has everything covered for all ages and you can sail, swim, ride, fish, play golf and even take boat trips. Warmed by the Gulf Stream there are many beautiful gardens to visit including Threave Gardens (National Trust). Further along the coast a must is a visit to the world renowned Logan Botanic Gardens. Close to the Galloway Forest Park, the first Dark Sky Park in Europe, and being central to five of the 7Stanes, at Kirroughtree Forest and Dalbeattie Forest, it is a popular location for cyclists and mountain bikers. Kirroughtree has some of the best technical single track mountain bike trails in Scotland. Only a short drive away is Kirkcudbright, known as ’the artists town’, which attracts visitors throughout the year who are drawn by the harbour, the historic high street and the diverse range of annual events and visitor attractions. The popular programme of summer festivities culminates with a spectacular tattoo - an event not to be missed! Beach 3 miles.
