Description
Situation
Cairnsmore House is set in a beautiful rural setting on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Carsphairn with beautiful open aspect to the front over surrounding gardens and further beyond to the River Deugh and Rhinns of Kells. The area is well known for its agriculture and forestry which make up a large proportion of the local economy. The landscape surrounding Cairnsmore House reflects this with its attractive rolling farmland interspersed with woodland. Carsphairn provides a village shop, a Church of Scotland kirk and a thriving village hall with nearby St Johns town of Dalry providing further shopping, post office, pubs, garage with filling station and primary and secondary school. Castle Douglas is further south and offers an excellent range of shops, professional services, leisure facilities and schooling. The surrounding Galloway countryside is famous for its wild beauty and the nearby Galloway Forest Park was the first place in the UK to be awarded dark sky status. There is a rich Scottish heritage surrounding the area shown by numerous historic buildings and the area is renowned for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits. Dumfries and Galloway is also famous for bird with the red kite trail and osprey platforms at Threave Castle and Loch Doon.
