My husband and I have just been on one of our regular trips to Scotland during which we enjoyed a return visit to the Best Western Selkirk Arms Hotel in Kirkcudbright.

My mother wanted to visit Kirkudbright as it is Scotland's 'Artist Town' to look around the galleries. She was really surprised at how nice the town is, Broughton House (where the artist Hornel lived and worked) is just lovely.
