About Removals Companies

A removals company handles house and office moves - packing, loading, transporting and unpacking your belongings safely and efficiently.

A proper removals firm with the right vehicles, insurance and experience takes the stress out of moving day in a way that doing it yourself rarely manages.

Get at least two quotes, check they carry goods-in-transit and public liability insurance and ask whether packing materials, disassembly and storage are included or charged extra.

About Portpatrick

Portpatrick is a picturesque harbour village on the west coast of the Rhins of Galloway, facing the Irish Sea with views across to the coast of Northern Ireland on clear days.

The village was the original Scottish terminus for the short sea crossing to Donaghadee in Ireland, before the route shifted to Stranraer in the 19th century.

Portpatrick has a sheltered harbour, a row of colourful houses along the waterfront, a golf course on the clifftops and several good hotels and restaurants that make it a popular weekend destination.

The Southern Upland Way, Scotland's coast-to-coast long-distance path, begins - or ends - at the harbour steps in Portpatrick.

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.
