Using the Path
The Rhins of Galloway Coast Path has been designed to make your visit enyoyable and easy to follow. The waymarked route includes orientation and interpretation panels to help you discover the rich natural treasures and lively cultural heritage as you explore rugged shores and sandy beaches. Gates through field boundaries and bridges over burns and gullies have been installed to make the coast more accessible but remember the countryside is a working environment so please follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
