Earlier this year the 520 bus, which ran from Castle Douglas to Dalmellington, changed its route, now finishing in Carsphairn. There is now no bus connection between the Glenkens and East Ayrshire.

Resurfacing work will be taking place on the A75 at Castle Douglas, between Allanton Roundabout and the A713 junction, from Sunday 2nd November until Saturday 15th November 2025 between the hours of 8pm and 6am each night.
