 LOCATION


Minnigaff Primary School is located just north of the B7079 New Galloway Road which runs from the A712 and A75, to the West, over the Creebridge to meet the A714 which runs directly, north/south, through Newton Stewart.
If you’re travelling from the South, through Newton Stewart on the A714, take a right, or a left if you’re travelling from the North, directly over the Cree bridge, which becomes the B7079. Take what is effectively the 4th left once you’ve crossed the Cree bridge, onto McGregor Drive.

ACCESS & PARKING


Vehicle access to the school will be via an anti-clockwise one-way system around McGregor Drive, Kirroughtree Avenue and Bruce Place. This will be in place to reduce traffic congestion and will be in operation from 9am – 5:30pm. The event will be well signposted and there is plenty of parking at the site or within a short walking distance should the available parking reach capacity.
