Adventures on the Dark Side
If you’re a fan of adventure, come and explore the dark side in the South of Scotland!
During the day there is so much to do, from water sports to zip-lining, horse riding to hiking. And of course the South of Scotland is known for its world class mountain biking with all of the 7Stanes biking trails. After dark, you can even go biking or try your hand a laser tag at Galloway Activity Centre.
To make the most of our gorgeous dark skies though, why not take a tour with one of our Dark Sky Guides? Or stay somewhere you can sit out under the stars and experience our spectacular night sky? And don’t forget to follow our Tops Tips for Stargazing.
