Drumlanrig Castle provides the perfect home for the South Scotland Outdoor Festival, combining centuries of heritage with some of the best outdoor terrain in the country. Set within the vast Queensberry Estate, the Castle’s 17th-century architecture stands proudly among forests, hills, and rivers that invite exploration and adventure.

Long celebrated for its exceptional network of trails, Drumlanrig is a hub for mountain biking, gravel and road cycling, walking, and trail running. The estate features miles of natural woodland singletrack, estate roads, and scenic paths—making it an inspirational backdrop for everything from family-friendly activities to elite-level outdoor pursuits.

During the festival, Drumlanrig transforms into a vibrant basecamp where history and the outdoors come together.
