SITUATION DIRECTIONS Park Cottage is situated in an upland wooded glen and was probably built in the 19 th Century by the Glentarras Distillery Company. The Distillery was situated a little further up the glen and the cottages were originally used to house the staff. The distillery is now long gone and the site has been reclaimed by woodland but the houses remain and form a very pleasant small rural community. Park Cottage is situated on the B6318 between Claygate, which is north of Canonbie and Langholm at Skippers Bridge. It is important to note that the road between Park Cottage and Skippers Bridge is presently closed for repair and re-build works and access is only available from the hamlet of Claygate to the south of Park Cottage. The distance to the town of Langholm by car is therefore around 7.5 miles at present but on completion of the road repairs it will be around 2.5 miles. From Junction 44 of the M6 at Carlisle, proceed north on the A7 through Longtown and past the turnings for Canonbie and towards Langholm. Shortly after the Canonbie turning take a right turn off the A7 signposted to Claygate, Hollows and The Clan Armstrong Centre. Follow this road to a T junction and turn left into Claygate. In Claygate continue the B6318 signposted to Langholm, ignoring the road closed sign, and after approximately 1.8 miles you will cross a river bridge and turn immediately right on a private access road to the properties at Glentarras. Park Cottage is the second on the left. LOCAL AUTHORITY Dumfries & Galloway Council, English Street, Dumfries, DG1 2DE. Tel: 03033 333000. COUNCIL TAX The property is in council tax band B.
