From Scottish Government News page:

Delay to relaxation of restrictions in parts of Dumfries and Galloway.

Following a cluster of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in the Annan and Gretna areas of Dumfries and Galloway, restrictions to the distance people can travel for leisure purposes are to remain in place.

People in Scotland living in the postcode areas of DG16 (Gretna), DG12 (Annan), DG1 and DG2 (Dumfries), DG11 (Lockerbie), DG13 (Langholm) and DG14 (Canonbie) are being asked to travel no more than 5 miles while efforts to manage the outbreak continue. This advice does not apply to essential travel.

Holidaymakers from other areas who have booked self-catering accommodation in these postcodes are still able to take up their reservations but must adhere to these travel restrictions once they arrive.

Visits to care homes in these postcode areas will not be permitted over the weekend because of the risk to staff and residents.

The advice will stay in place this weekend with a further update on local restrictions provided on Monday.


We have been receiving a fair number of motorhome enquiries, including questions about staying over at Castle Corner.

Scotland are following different coronavirus guidelines to England, and camping is not yet permitted here. The Estate are planning some maintenance tasks at Castle Corner too, so we’ll let you know as soon as we all know it’s safe to re-open.

Hope that is helpful. We look forward to welcoming responsible campervan/ motorhoming visitors back then!
