This is a photographic walk around the Hugh Paton Path which goes across Auchencairn Bay, to Red Ha'en then Torr Point and down into Orchardton Bay. It was shot in October 2005.

Ranger Led Walks PDF Print E-mail
Walks around Auchencairn
Arranged by Dumfries and Galloway Council, these highly recommended walks are designed to encourage care and enthusiasm for all aspects of wildlife and interest in local history. They are very informal and range from short walks aimed at children to longer hikes. A nominal fee is charged for some walks but most are free. There are too many to list here and they cover the entire D&G area but a free leaflet with all the details is available from local librarys or tourist information centres.
