A variety of sporting activities are available locally including Pony Trekking, Swimming, Golf, Squash, Fishing and Shooting. The village of Thornhill lies 5 miles to the south and has many interesting shops, eating places and an excellent 18 hole golf course. Thornhill has been called the " Duke's Village" because of its lengthy connection with the Dukes of Buccleuch and Queensberry who have resided at Drumlanrig Castle for 300 years.
