A bumper Kirkcudbright Art and Craft Trail is in store
Nearly 130 venues are taking part in this weekend’s Kirkcudbright Art and Crafts Trail.
There’s sure to be something for everyone in the town between Friday and Monday – whether that’s Rapunzel in MacLellan’s Castle, window displays or the flower festival at the parish church.

Organiser Colin Saul said: “We have 128 studios and venues consist of houses, gardens, studios and installations at various points.
“There’s the usual mix of highly skilled artwork, some of which is on the wall, and just anyone who wants to join in.
“Soaperie Gardens becomes very, very busy because we’ve got about 30 gazebos.
“They’re a fairly good starting point but what we want people to do is follow the art and craft trail map, which takes you all around the town – not just the high street but the extremities.
“Around the trail there’s always opportunity to take part in art, including eco art next to the castle.
“Most of what goes on is free and it’s always totally inclusive.”
There will be music going on around the town as well as performances from a group of Morris dancers.
New for this year include a tremendous Lego exhibition called Boatshed Bricks in St Andrew’s Church Hall and a model railway display in the community centre.

And Colin will once again be welcoming people to his display at Greengate.
He said: “It’s not a garden, it’s an experience, and people are often blown away by it.
“We’ll be having music and teas, coffees and cakes.
“I look forward to meeting people at Greengate, whether it’s their first time or they’ve been before.
“There’s lots of old favourites but plenty of new ones. There’s plenty to do and I’m sure people could come back again for a second day.”
