With links to resources you can buy, book or browse and services you can use.

The idea of this site is to make it easier for you to find e.g. books, CDs, maps etc. related to the region, by gathering together in one place, in a kind of directory, links to other sites where these can be found. Wherever possible, presenting specific items I think may interest you, with a direct link to the web page that offers them. For starters, why not check out the book "Galloway - A Land Apart" by Andrew McCulloch on the History page in the book section (see the link on the left.)

As the site develops (I find the time!), the intention is to also take you to homepages where you can e.g. purchase products from the region, or book accommodation, find a service provider and so on.

You might like to come back at regular intervals to see what's new on the site.

Check out the forum to hear from others in the region and around the world who share your (and my) interest in Dumfries and Galloway and start a new thread - and/or join the Yahoo group dumfriesandgalloway_info (see the box at the top of the page).

And of course, please feel welcome to make suggestions for improving this site.

By the way, don't forget to subscribe to the free newsletter. As well as telling you about additions to the site, it will give you an overview of things going on in the region and a feel for life in Dumfries and Galloway.

So take your time, explore the links and keep coming back to www.dumfriesandgalloway.info to satisfy your information needs about this beautiful, friendly part of South West Scotland.

Regards
