Region: From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.

Town: The peak of Criffel, at 570 metres, dominates the quiet village of New Abbey, offering excellent walking and stunning views over southwest Scotland and the Lake District. Sweetheart Abbey, a 1273 Cistercian abbey, represents the village's history, and the village is home to a shop, a coffee shop, and two hotels. The nearby River Nith is a great fishing spot. 8 miles north is Dumfries, formerly a royal burgh and split in two by the River Nith, which flows into the Solway Firth.
