Kirkcudbright Galleries

I visited because of the previous reviews and I wasn’t disappointed. Fab gallery, great access, helpful staff and an excellent cafe.

We found this little gem whilst visiting Kirkcudbright, had lunch here and later, returned to look around the galleries. It was an enjoyable way to spend an hour or two and apart from the heavy doors to get in, it was pretty good for access. The cafe was perfect for lunch and the food was well presented and tasty.

The Galloway Hoard is on loan from the National Museum for Scotland till July 2022, to allow the people of Dumfries & Galloway where the hoard was discovered to view the collection. Beautiful old building , which has been upgraded with accessibility in mind. Loved having the opportunity to view it locally, without having to travel to Edinburgh. Doors throughout the building were very heavy though, no automatic doors, we would have struggled if using my manual chair. Roomy building with plenty of room to manoeuvre. Fabulous cafe on site, but felt tables were placed a bit close together to enable sufficient social distancing .Entrance is free, though you need to prebook a time slot, would advise doing this ahead as spaces are sold out quickly.
