About this place

Market town known as Scotland's Food Town, with an independent high street of bakers and butchers.

Branded Scotland's Food Town, Castle Douglas has built its identity around an unusually high concentration of independent bakers, butchers, cheesemongers and other food producers along its high street, reflecting the strong farming and dairy tradition of the surrounding Galloway countryside. It's a good spot to pick up a picnic for the day's onward travels, or simply to browse shops with a more old-fashioned, specialist feel than a typical supermarket-dominated town centre. Several cafes and tearooms along the street make it easy to stop for a proper break. It's free to wander, with parking available in the town.
