Visit Castle Douglas in Dumfries & Galloway for a unique shopping experience
With approximately fifty local businesses involved in either producing or selling food and drink, it is easy to see why Castle Douglas has been designated a Food Town. The vibrancy and appeal of the town lies largely in the draw of the shops and cafés, restaurants and hotels.
In an age when consumers are often given conflicting advice about what food is good for them and which constituents they should avoid, it is refreshing that Castle Douglas offers high quality local produce which everyone can enjoy.
It is also of great economic benefit that the raw materials produced by local farmers get added value from being processed here and sold here.
We do hope you enjoy your visit, and that you find something to your taste!
