Whauphill, Newton Stewart DG8

The nearby harbour village of Port William is a charming and historic coastal settlement, beautifully positioned on the eastern shores of Luce Bay. Founded in 1770 by Sir William Maxwell, the village retains a strong sense of heritage, with its traditional harbour and links to Scotland’s smuggling past.
A focal point of the village is the striking bronze statue known as “The Man”, created by Andrew Brown, depicting a fisherman gazing out across the bay, an iconic and much-photographed landmark.
Port William is particularly well regarded for its outdoor lifestyle, with sandy beaches, scenic coastal walks, and excellent opportunities for sea angling. The nearby St Medan Golf Club offers a welcoming course with stunning coastal views, while the wider area provides superb cycling and walking routes.
The surrounding region is rich in natural beauty and history, with attractions such as Drumtroddan Standing Stones and the expansive Galloway Forest Park, renowned for its dark skies and outdoor pursuits, within easy reach.
Despite its tranquil setting, the village offers a selection of everyday amenities, including a local shop, post office, takeaway, and a popular community café, making it both a peaceful and practical place to enjoy coastal living.
