'Use the interactive map ... to view core path routes in Dumfries and Galloway. The route viewer also allows you to download route guides containing maps and walk descriptions for selected routes.'

Dumfries & Galloway Council

'Dumfries and Galloway in southern Scotland has a wealth of wildlife and history waiting to be discovered. From the shores of the Solway Firth, through farmland and woodland before on to the high tops of the Galloway Hills. This web site should give you an introduction as to what you might find on your travels in this area, the best locations and the best time of year to make the most of your visit.' Unfortunately, the Website originally referenced here could not be located at the time of Review. So I have replaced the Link with another - albeit with significantly less detail than the original.

The Ellangowan Hotel

'Dumfries & Galloway is the perfect place to see amazing wildlife in unspolied, natural habitats and whatever time of year you choose to visit there is always something new and exciting to witness. The glorious unspoilt coastline, varied terrain and numerous tranquil lochs provide backdrops for some captivating wildlife walks ...' ALERT I have needed to change the Link from that originally referenced here.

'South West Scotland Hill Walking Routes - with Maps, Photo Galleries and Local Information for every route. Also Coastal Walks in the three local National Scenic Areas.'

'This Website is mainly aimed at the active potential visitor who is looking for practical and informed local knowledge. But, for those who can't get to Scotland's outdoors, the virtual walks in the web galleries offer the chance to see what it is like to walk in this less frequented area of Scotland.'
