Solway Coastwise Project helps spread the word
 

Solway Coastwise Project, managed by Solway Firth Partnership, is teaming up with Let's Go Dumfries and Galloway to hold a series of events across the region.  Each event will help tourism businesses to get a feeling for and understand what a wonderful resource Scotland's Southern Coast really is.  

Using place names as a catalyst to inspire interest in all aspects of our varied shoreline the events will offer an introduction to what the coast can provide. Tourism businesses will also have the opportunity to sign up to future ambassador visits where they can learn more about our cultural and natural heritage. The events are planned for November 2018 and dates will be released by Let's Go Dumfries and Galloway and Solway Coastwise soon.
