Stewartry residents are struggling to access cash due to a string of bank closures.
A report by the Scottish Affairs Committee’s Access to Cash in Scotland report has found that 53 per cent of the country’s banks have closed since 2015.
The Stewartry has been particularly badly hit, with Dalbeattie having had no bank since 2017. Kirkcudbright will be in the same situation when the Bank of Scotland shuts next month, with TSB in Castle Douglas closing last year.
