Murray Arms Hotel
Scotland > The South of Scotland > Castle Douglas
Welcome to the Murray Arms Hotel and Restaurant; a historic 3 star hotel in Gatehouse of Fleet; Dumfries and Galloway. Established in 1760; the Murray Arms is a listed building retaining much of its character and original features.
The South of ScotlandThe 'real' Scotland starts right at the Southern border. The accents change in the shops and even the beers in the pubs have different names. This is one of the ways the locals differentiate themselves from the rest of the country. Also the scenery changes dramatically as you pass from England to Scotland. Rich, rolling farmland, rugged sea coasts and islands characterise the south of Scotland. It's a land of ancient abbeys, castles and historic houses. It also has some strong literary connections, with both Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott having lived here.
Then there are the forests and wild moors of upland Galloway and the vivid greens of Ayrshire's rich pastures, with the steep mountainous profile of the island of Arran as a backdrop. Wherever you travel here, you can be sure of a real Scottish experience. Imagine standing on the cliffs at Scotland's most southerly point, breathing the fresh ocean air, watching as seabirds glide below, listening to the crash of the waves and looking out to the horizon and seeing Ireland, England and the Isle of Man, silhouetted against the setting sun.
