3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Forteviot Gardens, Garlieston DG8

Garlieston is a small coastal village located in Dumfries and Galloway, southwest Scotland. Nestled on the shores of Wigtown Bay, it has a peaceful, scenic atmosphere, with charming stone buildings, a quiet harbour, and views across the Solway Firth. Originally developed in the mid-18th century as a planned village by Lord Garlies (later the Earl of Galloway), Garlieston served as a minor port and estate village. It once had a thriving economy based on fishing, shipbuilding, and trade, and remnants of this industrial past can still be seen today.Garlieston is perhaps most notable for its role during World War II as one of the secret test sites for the Mulberry Harbours—portable, temporary harbours used during the d-Day landings. Concrete caissons and other structures were trialled in the bay, and some remnants remain, adding historical significance to the area. Today, Garlieston is a quiet and picturesque destination, popular with walkers, history enthusiasts, and those seeking a peaceful retreat. The nearby Galloway House Gardens and scenic coastal paths enhance its appeal, making it a hidden gem in Scotland’s rural southwest.
