Trigony House Hotel, a fine Edwardian Country House set in 4 acres of gardens and grounds a mile south of Thornhill in Southern Scotland, used to be the Shooting Lodge for Closeburn castle. Resident proprietor Adam Moore and his wife Jan have transformed Trigony House into a warmly welcoming place to stay, with a fast growing reputation for excellent food using organicaly grown vegetables, herbs, organic meat and local game.

This is one of the most enjoyable and relatively undiscovered parts of Scotland to visit. Drumlanrig Castle is one of the most spectacular anywhere, with a fine collection of art and furniture. 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 advice about touring in the area, as well as arranging shooting and fishing on nearby estates.

Please tell Adam and Jan you found Trigony House Hotel through About Scotland!

About the area:

Trigony House Hotel has the fishing rights for Closeburn Castle on a three mile stretch of the River Nith. Also, the hotel has a number of lovely walks mapped out from the grounds up to the sandstone gorge of Crichope Linn or down to the River Nith and The Covenanters Grave yard.

The dramatic and beautiful Dalveen Pass is 15 minutes' drive to the North where the Queensbury Marble Tomb is housed in Durisdeer Church and one can join the Southern Upland Way, or walk along the old Roman Road.

30 minutes' drive to the South is the beautiful cliff-top coastal path from Sandyhills to Rock Cliff bay, and even closer the wonderful setting of Glenkiln Sculpture Park.

A two or three day stay is highly recommended!
