It\u2019s a relatively easy drive from the North West and includes some beautiful forests, rolling hills and beautiful coastline. As an added bonus, if you head to the Rhins of Galloway, you can enjoy the sunrise on the inner coast, and the sunset at the end of each day on the outer coast!   <\/p>\n<p>Fun fact: this is the most southerly point in Scotland, and is actually further South than Carlisle. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/rhins-of-galloway.jpg\" alt=\"Scotland weekend escape\" class=\"wp-image-15369 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/rhins-of-galloway.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/rhins-of-galloway-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/rhins-of-galloway-152x100.jpg 152w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/394;\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>As soon as I finished work on Friday, I packed up some food, my paddleboard and my dog and by dinnertime, I was here! Thanks to Home Exchange I didn\u2019t need to pay for my accommodation, and I was lucky to get the chance to stay at Derek and Iris\u2019 lovely beachfront home, while they were in Ireland. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/killantringan-bay.jpg\" alt=\"Killantringan Bay \" class=\"wp-image-15366 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/killantringan-bay.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/killantringan-bay-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/killantringan-bay-173x100.jpg 173w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/347;\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The joy of a home exchange is that you can cook a proper meal, so I made myself a bowl of chilli and settled down to watch one of my favourite autumn movies. Teddy was very content with the arrangements (and the view). <\/p>\n<p>My little dog is currently on semi-enforced rest due to a leg injury but she absolutely loved watching all the birds swooping over the sea, and I learned the term \u201csea squirrels\u201d this weekend as a description of all the birds sitting in the surf at the edge of the sea on the beach!

In Galloway, only do you often get the whole place to yourself, it\u2019s also the perfect opportunity to make yourself a lovely fire and a flask of hot tea. I did also indulge in a mince pie which was admittedly controversial, but delicious, and I have no regrets.<\/p>\n<p>I did not see a single other soul here ALL day, and Teddy amused herself by watching the fire, chasing birds and being very confused by the pheasants \u2013 who were not in the least bit afraid of either of us! <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/galloway-beach.jpg\" alt=\"galloway beach view in October\" class=\"wp-image-15373 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/450;aspect-ratio:1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/galloway-beach.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/galloway-beach-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whosthemummy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/galloway-beach-133x100.jpg 133w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>I stopped for a late pub lunch while it rained, and then drove to the <a href=\"https:\/\/forestryandland.gov.scot\/visit\/forest-parks\/galloway-forest-park\" title=\"\">Galloway Forest Park<\/a>. There are so many amazing walks here, and at this time of year the colours are absolutely beautiful. As an added bonus, there are still leaves, giving some shelter from the rain.
