Southern Scotland may not be quite as spectacular as the far north of the country but it is still a beautiful landscape with countless days out for all the family to enjoy. It should never be simply bypassed on the way to Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Highlands. Here are some suggestions for a great day out in southern Scotland:

Red Deer Range, Newton Stewart

Red Deer Range is one of the best places in the UK to see stunning red deer in their natural habitat. Visitors are allowed to get surprisingly close to these fabulous animals and sometimes even touch them. Admission to the range is currently £3 for adults and £1 for children from 11am to 2pm June through September. For further details call 01671 402420 or visit www.forrestry.gov.uk/gallowayforestpark

Floors' Castle, Kelso

Floor's Castle sits proudly above the river Tweed and houses many excellent works of art. The castle also offers several outdoor pursuits including golf and shooting. Admission is £5.75 for adults and £3.25 for the children every day from 10am to 4.30pm April to October. For more information call 01573 223333 or go to www.floorscastle.com

King's Cave, Isle of Arran

King's Cave is believed to be the very cave where Robert The Bruce drew inspiration from a small spider and went on to lead Scotland to many victories. Entry to the cave is usually from dusk till dawn every day of the week. For further details call 0845 2255121 or go to www.showcaves.com
