SELF-CATERING OPTIONS IN ARGYLL & BUTE, SCOTLAND |
|
| Argyll, archaically Argyle,
is a region of western Scotland corresponding with most of the part of
ancient Dál Riata that was located on the island of Great Britain,
and in a historical context can be used to mean the entire western seaboard
between the Mull of Kintyre and Cape Wrath. The early thirteenth century
author of De Situ Albanie explains that "the name Arregathel means margin
of the Scots or Irish, because all Scots and Irish are generally called
Gattheli, from their ancient warleader known as Gaithelglas." However,
it is often understood to derive from Earra-Ghàidheal, "Coast of
Gaels". Argyll was a medieval Bishopric too, with its cathedral at Lismore,
as well as an early modern Earldom and Duchy, the Duchy of Argyll. |

SELF-CATERING OPTIONS IN DUMFRIES & GALLOWAY, SCOTLAND |
|
| Dumfries is a market town
and former royal burgh within the Dumfries and Galloway council area of
Scotland and is situated close to the Solway Firth, near the mouth of the
River Nith. Dumfries was the county town of the former county of Dumfriesshire.
The name Dumfries is suggested by some to originate from the Scottish Gaelic
name Dún Phris which means "Fort of the Thicket". People from Dumfries
are known colloquially as Doonhamers. |
 |
| Galloway is an area in southwestern
Scotland. It usually refers to the former counties of Wigtown (or historically
West Galloway) and Kirkcudbright (or historically East Galloway). It is
part of the Dumfries and Galloway council area of Scotland. Galloway is
contained by sea to the west and south, the Galloway Hills to the north,
and the River Nith to the east; the border between Kirkcudbright and Wigtownshire
is marked by the River Cree. The definition has, however, fluctuated greatly
in size over history. The name is also given to a hardy breed of black,
hornless beef cattle native to the region (and also to the more distinctive
'Belted Galloway' or 'Beltie'). Galloway has always been slightly isolated
due to having 150 miles (240 km) of rugged coastline and a vast range of
largely uninhabited hills to the North. |
