The beautiful and lonely wilds of the Glenkens
This has long been a forgotten part of Scotland and is therefore relatively unspoiled with a wide variety of fantastic wildlife and spectacular landscape ranging from the mountains and moorland; woodland and forest; burns, rivers, to lochs and farmland.
The Glenkens, is the wildest and largest glen in Galloway; as the name implies, is the Valley of the Ken.
‘mountains wild beyond imagination so that scarce any thing in the Alps exceeds them’
(From "A Journie to Galloway in 1721" by Sir John Clerk of Penicuik)

The Glenkens Core Team consists of volunteer developers, designers, administrators and managers led by Maggi, who, together with a large range of Internet web sites, members have taken The Glenkens web site to new heights in its long life. This well-oiled machine is often copied but never surpassed. The Glenkens has some wonderfully talented people giving information a major leap forward and represents the most exciting release in the history of this project. |

The web site project has a nice balance of the Local Environment, History, the Locality including all the Villages, Things to do, Poems and Songs, Places to Visit and more. All this from well-known people such as Mike (who pioneered the early successful web site right at the early beginnings of the Internet in 1995) to the researcher/writer, Maggi.
This dynamic duo, together with advice and assistance from others, have further strengthened the project by making great use of the Internet and much local talent.
