Auld Alliance Restaurant

Frommer's Review

One of the most appealing restaurants in the region is this family-owned and -operated place. It's located in a pair of connected buildings that were constructed, in the 1880s, with stones from the ruins of Kirkcudbright Castle. The cooks are almost obsessed with the freshness of the fish they serve, and salmon (usually caught several hours before preparation in the Kirkcudbright estuary and its tributary, the Dee) are full of legendary flavor. A house specialty is queenies (queen-size scallops from deeper waters than the great scallop).
