Craigadam is almost at the center of Dumfries and Galloway, arguably the most beautiful area of Southern Scotland. Anybody wanting a holiday touring the scenery - everything from beaches and cliffs to field, woodland and high moorland - will find a lot of variety. The visitor attractions are just as varied; there are well over three hundred to choose from, small to large, many within easy driving distance. Craigadam itself can offer fishing and shooting holidays, whilst the thirty four upland and coastal golf courses, driving ranges and links, make the area a haven for golfers.
