THE GALLOWAY AND SOUTHERN AYRSHIRE BIOSPHERE

In 2012 UNESCO designated Galloway & Southern Ayrshire as a Biosphere in recognition of the fantastic array of landscapes, wildlife, cultural heritage and learning opportunities that SW Scotland offers for communities, businesses and visitors to experience and celebrate in a sustainable way. It is recognised internationally as a world class environment for people and nature - the first new-style biosphere in Scotland and one of only four in the UK.
