🌟 Stargazing at Loch Ken 🌟

Did you know that Dumfries and Galloway is a designated dark sky region?

That means the area has incredibly low light pollution and some of the clearest night skies across all of Europe - on a good night, you can see thousands of stars, planets and sometimes even the Milky Way overhead!

Here are our top tips for stargazing:

✨ Give your eyes a good 20 to 30 minutes to adjust - the darker it gets, the more magic appears 👀

✨ Switch off phones and bright screens - even small lights can spoil your night vision 📱

✨ If you're staying in one of our bothies, why not get in the hot tub for the ultimate stargazing experience! This photo was taken by one of our guests from their hot tub! 📸

✨ Check the moon phase - new moon nights mean the darkest skies and the most stars 🌙

✨ A quick peek at the weather forecast helps you plan for clear, cloud-free skies ☁️

Summer in Scotland is stunning, but have you even seen the country once the leaves start to turn and things slow down?

Autumn is one of the best times to visit Scotland - spend time in nature and soak up all the beauty we have on offer!
