Makes a really good round trip going back to Dumfries on the coast roads, A711 to Dalbeattie and A710 to Dumfries (they may be A roads, but not very busy). Probably better done the other way round as the coast route is longer so better done before a cafe stop in Kirkcudbright.

The A 711 and A710 may not be very busy but, as often in rural districts, the locals do tend to drive fast. A711 in particular can be a bit of a race track - but good village shop/cafes in Auchencairn and Palnackie (Check hours on Facebok).
