Blue Door is a short walk from the Trust's Broughton House. This fine 18th-century town house was the home, gallery and studio from 1901 to 1933 of the artist E A Hornel, one of the 'Glasgow Boys'. Open to the public (with free entry for National Trust for Scotland members), it contains many of his paintings, a collection of local history books and a major Robert Burns collection.
About the area:
The town of Kirkcudbright is situated about 25 miles west of Dumfries and is easily accessible from the M6/M74 motorway. The area offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, attractive coastal landscapes and quiet country roads. Established as a Royal Burgh in 1455, Kirkcudbright has always been supported by a busy fishing trade. Behind the harbour, the streets have housed generations of creative artists, a tradition maintained today by a flourishing colony of painters and craftworkers. This has led to Kirkcudbright being called "The Artists' Town".
You will find a great selection of beaches in the area. Dhoon, a sandy beach, is approximately 4 miles away and is a safe place for children to paddle. Brighouse Bay, a second beach, is approximately 5 miles away. Again, this is safe for children but the beach is more rocky than sandy. The area is also perfect for cycling, walking, fishing and bird-watching.

About the property:
Threave Garden, in the midst of the Trust's 1,490-acre Threave Estate, is most famous for its breathtaking banks of daffodils in April, but its peat, rock and water gardens and its glasshouses provide superb displays throughout the year. Other highlights are the informal Rose Garden, the herbaceous perennials and the one-acred walled garden with its wonderful temperate glasshouse collection. The principal rooms of the Scottish Baronial style Threave House are now open to visitors and the Countryside Centre features interactive displays and introduction to the wider 1,200-acre estate, home to a wildfowl sanctuary.
Furthermore, guided walks, a Visitor Centre with an exhibition, a licensed restaurant, a well-stocked shop and a plant centre are all on site.
About the area:
Our accommodation on the Threave Estate is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside and coastline. The lodge is approximately 1 mile west of Castle Douglas where a good selection of shops can be found.
There is an abundance of wildlife on the estate and in the garden including deer, red squirrels, woodpeckers, badgers and hares, and osprey on the River Dee during the summer. Castle Douglas, just a mile away, is marketed by VisitScotland as the 'Food Town' due to the amount of local food that is produced and sold in the town through delicatessens, restaurants and retail outlets.
