Standing stones
in Dumfries and Galloway.

Tombs above Wigtown Bay.

Dumfries and Galloway's prehistoric sites are well worth seeking out. On a hillside above Wigtown Bay, two Neolithic chambered tombs look out over the sea. Near Dumfries, a great ring of standing stones is the largest stone circle on mainland Scotland, set among the fields with a road running past. Both are free to visit and rarely busy. Go early or late, when the light is low.
