Dumfries and the south-west corner of Scotland.
Thinly populated, a long way from anywhere, and planned as a trip rather than a call-out — the drive down from Glasgow or across from Carlisle is the honest constraint.
Stone farmhouses with steadings, terraced towns, and long single-track approaches. Galloway is the older name for the western half and is still in use.
Confirmation, not probate
Scottish estates go through confirmation rather than probate. The document has a different name and a different shape, and an executor searching for English forms will not find what they need. It changes nothing about how we work: we invoice the executor, the solicitor or the estate, there is no deposit, and payment can come from the estate once it settles.
