Dumfries and Galloway, Council area in southwestern Scotland.
The region covers 6,426 square kilometers, featuring mountainous forests, moorlands, and an elongated coastline along the Solway Firth and Irish Sea.
The territory merged three historic counties - Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire, and Wigtownshire - into a single administrative region in 1975.
The region maintains multiple National Scenic Areas, including Nith Estuary, East Stewartry Coast, and Fleet Valley, each containing distinct natural environments.
Regular bus services connect major towns to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Carlisle, while the Glasgow South Western railway line provides additional transportation options.
The Mull of Galloway, located within the Rhins peninsula of this region, marks the southernmost geographical point of mainland Scotland.
