Creetown, originally Ferrytown of Cree, is a small town of about 750 people in Dumfries and Galloway (South West Scotland), on the north side of the Solway Firth. As the name indicates, it was once a fishing village and at one end of a ferry across the River Cree estuary to the former county town of Wigtown. Internationally, it is best known for its Country Music Festival and for being at the centre of filming for that unusual film The Wicker Man. However, the town is also in a central position for visitors to Galloway, Scotland's equivalent of Devon and Cornwall. Creetown is halfway between Dumfries and Stranraer, but is set back from the A75 trunk route, preserving its calm. Visitors staying in Creetown have excellent access by road to the many local attractions, as well as excellent views across the Solway and the Cree. |
