Castle Douglas was a planned town founded by William Douglas in 1792.

The area is also popular for its scenic walks, around Carlingwark Loch, along Lover's Walk, and further still — along the various trails, which take in Kelton Hill, Threave Castle, and Threave Gardens, which is a National Trust for Scotland property.
