Secret Solway Transatlantic Connections tours

Explore historic Solway Transatlantic connections through visits to lesser known heritage sites on the beautiful Solway coastal lands.

From the times of the great sailing ships through the traumatic family upheaval of migration from Scotland, to the war time adventures of American and Canadian pilots and more…. Over the centuries war, economic hardship, romance and trade have meant that the Solway area has produced some enduring Transatlantic connections as well as some surprising stories about the people who forged these connections.

This is a tour that takes in tales of some unexpected Transatlantic connections revealed in the Scottish Solway coastal landscape to the west of Gretna Green.

Solwayconnections tour guide Fiona Stoddart takes visitors through the beautiful Dumfries and Galloway landscape on a journey ‘of the ages’ exploring Solway local history, visiting varied heritage sites - each with their own Transatlantic connection.
