With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Dumfries, 19 miles away, has to offer. Dumfries Ice Bowl should be toward the top of your list here. Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club and Robert Burns Centre are terrific attractions too. Situated 25 miles away, Peebles is another popular option. If you stop by, make sure you check out Neidpath Castle, Peebles Golf Club and Kailzie Gardens.
