This part of Dumfries and Galloway enjoys reasonably mild temperatures compared to the rest of Scotland thanks to warming from the Gulf Stream which allows plants, more commonly found in the southern hemisphere, to flourish.
Just a short drive from Little Laight Cottage is Scotlands most exotic garden - Logan Botanical Garden - which is open daily from March to October and is a 5 star Scottish Tourist Board visitor attraction.
The recently rebuilt Little Laight stands high on a hill above Cairnryan and faces south down Loch Ryan towards Stranraer. Part of the Loch Ryan Estate, and an old shepherd’s cottage before its rebuild, it offers stunning views of Loch Ryan, the Mull of Kintyre, and Ireland.
Surrounded by rolling hillside and adjacent to an SSSI (special site of scientific interest) with only sheep, deer, cattle and a huge variety of birds as neighbours, Little Laight offers the perfect getaway for those wishing solitude, tranquility peace and quiet.
