We are about Galloway and the region as a whole. - its character, history, natural resources and beauty. We aim to encourage the conservation, development and improvement of features of general amenity, landscape, cultural heritage, natural heritage, gardens and historical interest. We aim to encourage high standards of architecture and town and country planning in the region. In our view, South West Scotland offers a distinctive and unique combination of long-established cultural landscapes and backdrops of wilder land. There are now many pressures on the fabric of rural life and on the rural economy. These pressures impact on the Society’s main concerns in many ways. We see it as part of our mission to respond to some of this change, through appropriate democratic means, to listen and to reflect. Rather than outright opposition in every case, the Society prefers to try to adopt a middle path, which seeks to avoid unnecessary damage to regional assets where it can be avoided.

Objectives: • Stimulate public interest and participation in the care for the beauty, history and character of Galloway. • Encourage the preservation, development and improvement of features of general public amenity or historical interest. • Encourage high standards of architecture and town and country planning in Galloway.
