Magnificent Sea Hames We are very lucky to have the wonderful willow crafted SEA HAMES horse coming to Kirkcudbright for our 15th trail. Hand crafted by artists Alex Rigg and Trevor Leat of Oceanallover, its journey from home to Kirkcudbright will turn many heads! When we began negotiations and saw it we knew that it just had to come to Kirkcudbright. We loved having the Kelpies here and are pleased to have this large and beautiful sculpture for the Art and Crafts Trail 2018.
Follow our Facebook page for updates on its arrival and set up position nearer the trail time. Our visiting sculpture will provide great photo opportunities and will prove an attraction for residents and visitors alike.

Kirkcudbright Stones Are Taking Part In Our Trail There is a dedicated group of people in and around Kirkcudbright who bring a lot of fun and joy into the lives of the children with their wonderful painted stones. Helpful clues are given alongside photos of the stones on their Facebook page and the treasure hunt begins. We are very pleased that the group will be taking part in this year’s trail, with stones based on the pirate theme. So, keep your eyes peeled, look round venues far and wide, if you find a stone you can take it home !

Greyfriars Church, venue 13, has been a welcome part of our trail for many years and is well worth a visit with its vibrant stained glass and many interesting features. This year the venue will be hosting two events: ‘Stories from the Sea’ activities and story telling for children, and also beautiful flower arrangements based on Famous Scottish Women. Created by the congregation, they will undoubtedly enhance the fabric of this beautiful ancient church. Why don’t you look at the arrangements and see if you can work out which lady each represent before checking to see if you are right. Do visit this venue and be inspired.

Vote of thanks We have watched our trail grow from small beginnings to being an award winning four day event and part of the Kircudbright Summer Festivities. Our Trail provides a showcase for our beautiful Artists’ Town and the talented folks who live in or are associated with Kirkcudbright. We know that we could not run it without the cheerful friendly band of townsfolk whose willing help oils the wheels of the trail making things run smoothly. Our very grateful thanks to them and also to you our visitors. Your comments and Facebook interaction are valuable to us, do return we will always be pleased to see you. Best wishes!
