Dumfries and Galloway

Created in 1975 by uniting the historic region of Galloway and the County of Dumfries, Dumfries and Galloway is now one of the 32 council areas in Scotland.  To the south it borders Cumbria in England, whilst to the north it borders South Ayrshire and South Lanarkshire and in the east the Scottish Borders.

Dumfries and Galloway is a truly beautiful area to visit situated, as it is, just to the north of the Solway Firth and with its west coast on the Irish Sea.  Currently the population for Dumfries and Galloway is approximately 148,600 and the region is famous for its many well known artists and writers.

Education is the responsibility of the Dumfries and Galloway Council and more and more schools in the region are now becoming involved in the German
One-Term placements programme. Currently these include:

Castle Douglas High School Dumfries Academy Douglas Ewart High School Dumfries High School

Kirkcudbright Academy Maxwelltown High School Moffat Academy Dalbeattie High School Sanquhar Academy
