Many visitors drive through the south of Scotland on the way to places further north or south.

We aim to attract visitors to the area year-round by offering a taste of what the Scottish Borders and Dumfries and Galloway have to offer to visitors.

From the dark skies to the dramatic coastline, gardens to farming experiences, and some of the world's best walking and cycling routes, this activity will bring to life the abundance of activities, rich experiences and stunning scenery on offer right across this region.

Activity will also spotlight the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere following its inclusion in National Geographic’s Cool Destinations for 2024.

It will encourage visitors to come and experience it for themselves by booking a trip and exploring the south of Scotland.

Agritourism in the South of Scotland

Capitalising on the trend for agritourism, we worked with media to spotlight fun days out on working farms.

These farm experiences included Ernespie Farm Centre, Jacksons at Jedburgh, and Kitchen Coos & Ewes where you can get close to Highland cows and Beltex sheep.

Wilson’s Farm and Kitchen, Dalscone Farm, and Cream O' Galloway also feature.

In the campaign, we promote popular alpacas experiences across the south at Beirhope Alpacas in the heart of the Cheviot Hills near Kelso, and Galloway Alpacas, Gatehouse of Fleet.
