Long Cottage sits off Shore Road on the outskirts of Auchencairn close to the highly acclaimed Balcary Bay Country House Hotel, sheltered from Auchencairn Bay, ideally suited as a holiday bolt-hole in a much sought after Solway coastal location. The cottage is a short walk down to a secluded beach with views across to uninhabited Heston
Island.
Auchencairn itself is a delightful Galloway village close to Auchencairn Bay, an inlet of the Solway Firth, located approximately 10 miles east of Kirkcudbright and 7 miles west of Dalbeattie. The village itself has a range of local facilities including primary school, garage, Post Office, church, an award winning community garden and bowling green and
sits very close to the Balcary Bay Country House Hotel. There is a renowned coastal cliff walk nearby which includes a circular walk to a lochan and views across to the Lake District.
Nearby Castle Douglas is a thriving Galloway market town lying approximately 18 miles southwest of Dumfries and enjoying an enviable range of shops and other facilities in a town now promoted and known as the “Food Town”
.
The southwest of Scotland is a genuinely rural area with its gentle rolling landscape, mild climate and dramatic coastline. The area has a good range of sport and outdoor activities with core path walking routes and cycle routes on the door step with opportunities to take shooting in the area, fishing on the nearby rivers and of course golf. The Solway is also a popular yachting destination enjoying excellent facilities at Kirkcudbright and nearby Kippford.

About this agent
The commitment of Williamson & Henry to provide high quality, tailored legal services to its clients remains its constant perennial cornerstone. At its core is the commitment to each individual client, be they individuals, partnerships, limited companies or otherwise. Personality and law do not need to be poles apart – within Williamson and Henry, one of the Solicitors is always on hand to guide clients & their families. Whether buying or selling a family home, buying or selling a business, preparing or updating your Will (and finally ticking it off your “to-do” list), putting in place a Power of Attorney or considering Inheritance Tax or Care Home Fees planning, the Solicitors at Williamson & Henry will steer you through the process. In terms of quality, ‘Local’ does not mean ‘Less’. The firm focuses on individual clients and relies on the vast experience and depth of knowledge held by its Solicitors. The closure of Kirkcudbright Sheriff Court and the migration of local Court matters to Dumfries Sheriff Court has served as a catalyst to concentrate on what is now the core business of the firm. It is to that core business that the firm will continue to devote its capabilities and energies, intent on the provision of high quality legal services from well informed Solicitors and supporting staff
