The Estate

Galloway House Estate is a coastal estate in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, built and landscaped from 1740 by the Earl of Galloway, the head of the Stewart clan. It remained the family’s main residence until 1908 when the estate was sold.

 

The 600 acre farm and woodland is now owned and run by the McCreath family. It is a working organic farm with a herd of milking cows and younger cattle. The former stables block has been converted to house self-catering apartments, studio space, a swimming pool and pop-up restaurant.

​

The estate lies between Whithorn, Scotland’s earliest Christian settlement, and Wigtown, Scotland’s National Book Town and hosts authors and events during the Wigtown Book Festival.
