Selkirk Arms Hotel

Refurbished 18th-century hotel with a restaurant, bistro and lounge bar, renowned for locally sourced food, highlighted by the menus and photos of suppliers on the walls. The large garden area with tables is popular in summer. Robert Burns wrote his famous Selkirk Grace at the hotel in 1794. Kirkcudbright is notable for its artistic heritage and houses a number of interesting galleries and museums. Two real ales are available, sometimes three in summer. The bar features a good selection of malt whiskies and gins. Booking for meals almost essential due to demand unless eating in the garden.
