Dalbeattie is ideally situated for those who want the best of urban and countryside living. Located roughly 15 miles southwest from Dumfries, Dalbeattie was established in the late 1700s with the majority of the town’s buildings constructed from grey granite from local quarries. The town is popular with families, with plenty of things to see and do nearby, including the stunning Colvend Coast, and the 7Stanes mountain bike course in Dalbeattie Forest.
