Not sure of where precisely you're going and whether you have children, but we went to Kirkcudbright last year at this time and there were a whole host of summer events taking place. These included Scottish night on a Thursday, a 16th Centruty re-enacted walk on Friday evening, Arts & Crafts Fair over the weekend. Certainly all worth a visit if you are nearby.

We also visted Threave Castle, Galloway Forest Park and for the children Cream O Galloway ice cream farm/adventure play park and The Cocoa Bean chocolate factory. All in all we found it a great area with plenty to do.

Mountain biking, walking etc http://www.7stanes.com/. Took 2 16year olds and they really enjoyed the biking. Other thing to do see http://www.welcome2dumfriesandgalloway.co.uk/

Hope you enjoy

Caerlaverock was a favourite of mine also.

Drundrennan Abbey is also worth a visit, although this area could be busy as Wickerman Festival is this weekend, (which if your up for it, is a great family festival)

There is also a Wildlife Park in Kircudbright and this is a lovely wee town.

and Sandyhills bay has a great beach for a sunny day.

This is one of my favourite areas to visit. 

Hope you have a lovely time.

We are off to new england Bay on sunday 24th, really looking forward to it,never been to the area so hoping there is plenty of good walking for us and our crazy springer spaniel !

the fish pond at port logan (in between portpatrick and mull of galloway).

Fantastic!
