Kippford (/ˈkɪpfəd/; otherwise Scaur)[2] is a small village along the Solway coast, in the historic county of Kirkcudbrightshire in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
Kippford stretches along the banks of the Urr estuary and in places is only one house-wide, being hemmed in between the forested Mark hill (locally known as the Muckle) and the sea.
Kippford can only be accessed by car by a 0.75 miles (1 km) road from Barnbarroch which passes by Craigieknowes Golf Course and two campsites.
Kippford is also linked to Rockcliffe, which is 1.25 miles (2 km) away, by a scenic track known as the Jubilee Path.
The RNLI has maintained a station, now fitted with a D class lifeboat, in Kippford for the past 40 years.
