Kirkcudbright Harbour

The picturesque working harbour at the mouth of the River Dee on the Solway Firth. The harbour's colourful boats, changing tides, and ever-shifting light have been the subject of paintings by virtually every artist who has lived in or visited Kirkcudbright. Still an active fishing harbour, it remains the emotional heart of the town and the view that defines the Kirkcudbright artistic tradition.
