Dumfries and Galloway is a beautiful and mostly undiscovered part of Scotland. This post would suit a doctor who enjoys walking, running, cycling, mountain biking and other outdoor activities. We are only a 90 minute drive away from the Lake District. We are also close enough to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Carlisle for those who enjoy the bright lights and city life.
