Newton Stewart is a market town, famous for its salmon and trout fishing. Situated between the serene rolling countryside of the Machars and the Galloway Forest Park, it offers plenty of opportunity for a scenic walk or cycle. The area is steeped in history; the first Christian missionary to Scotland landed at The Machars, founding the first church in Whithorn in AD 397. The beautiful coastline is a mixture of sandy beaches and rocky shores teeming with birdlife, while sailing, riding and fishing all available locally and there are plenty of excellent courses to keep keen golfers busy.
