Getting Around
Navigating Southern Scotland is best done with a car for maximum flexibility, allowing access to remote glens and coastal routes. Regular train services connect larger towns like Dumfries and Berwick-upon-Tweed. Local bus networks are available but can be infrequent, especially in rural areas. Cycling is a fantastic option for exploring the quieter country lanes and designated cycle paths. Getting around Southern Scotland without a car requires careful planning, but is achievable if you focus on key towns and utilize available public transport.
