The region of southwest Scotland is a genuinely rural area well known for dairy and livestock farming, magnificent countryside, extensive forestry and a scenic coastline. This is a conveniently located block of productive farmland which could be a useful addition to an existing farm business, or for lifestyle and equestrian interests.
