Rockcliffe, Dumfries and Galloway

Rockcliffe lies on the eastern side of the River Urr estuary, and gives access to Rough Island[1] by way of both firm mud exposed at low tide and a natural, tidal causeway.

Rockcliffe is also linked to Castle Point (site of a Roman fort), Glenstocken, Portling and Sandyhills by footpath.

Local business in Rockcliffe is mainly holiday lets, though the village also has one tea room, a caravan site and the surrounding farming industry.

The site of the 5th century Dark Ages hillfort called the Mote of Mark adjoins Rockcliffe.

[5] The Rockliffe Gallery occupies part of the building and organises a series of annual exhibitions.
