Local Development Plan 2: Kirkcudbright Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Plan (CACAMP)

Kirkcudbright is a settlement on the estuary of the River Dee with a long history. It had castles linked with conquests; mediaeval streets; religious sites; a harbour and was the centre of an artist community.  A conservation area was designated in 1974 to retain the special built character.

The draft CACAMP explores the character to help it to continue into the future.
