Guests are drawn back time and time again above all to experience the cuisine at Trigony.

Trigony is under five miles from Drumlanrig Castle which is one of the world's most spectacular castles and which also has a fine collection of art and furniture. All around Trigony there are walks in unspoilt landcapes, gardens, quiet roads and remote hills with mountain hares and wild goats. The Moores are always ready to help and give detailed advice about touring in the area, as well as arranging shooting and fishing on nearby estates.
Guests at Trigony also enjoy golf, falconry, joining the rangers at Drumlanrig Castle Estate on wild-life safari, cycling (hire or bring your own) horse riding (a short walk from Trigony to the stables).
