About Architects
An architect designs buildings, extensions and renovations - turning your ideas into detailed plans that meet building regulations and planning requirements.
Whether you're planning a new build, converting a barn or adding an extension, an architect will manage the design process from initial sketches through to construction drawings.
In Scotland, look for an architect registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and ideally chartered with the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS).
About New Abbey
New Abbey is a small village on the Solway coast south of Dumfries, dominated by the beautiful red sandstone ruins of Sweetheart Abbey - founded in 1273 by Lady Devorgilla in memory of her husband John Balliol.
The abbey ruins, managed by Historic Environment Scotland, are among the most complete and atmospheric Cistercian remains in Scotland.
The village also has a working 18th-century corn mill and Shambellie House, a Victorian country house set in woodland above the village.
Criffel, the prominent hill that overlooks the village and the Solway Firth, is a popular walk with views to the Lake District, the Isle of Man and the Irish coast.
About Dumfries and Galloway
(opens in new tab)Dumfries and Galloway is the most south-westerly council area in Scotland, stretching from the English border at Gretna to the Mull of Galloway - the southernmost point in Scotland - and from the Solway Firth coast inland to the hills of the Southern Uplands.
Dumfries is the largest town and administrative centre, a handsome red sandstone burgh on the River Nith where Robert Burns spent the last years of his life and is buried in St Michael's Kirkyard.
The region divides naturally into three historic areas: Dumfriesshire to the east, Kirkcudbrightshire (the Stewartry) in the centre and Wigtownshire to the west - each with its own character, landscape and loyalties.
The Galloway coast and countryside have a mild climate influenced by the Gulf Stream, fertile farmland, dark-sky reserves and a string of small harbour towns that attract artists, writers and visitors drawn to the quiet and the landscape.
Despite its size, the region is one of the most sparsely populated in Scotland - a place where community is strong, the pace is slower and the landscape ranges from river valleys and rolling farmland to wild moorland and rocky coastline.
