Default Hogmanay for kids...D&G any ideas?

I'd love to do something nice with the kids for Hogmanay as we are staying in Dumfries and Galloway, but as they are pretty young I don't want anything too rowdy or busy...

Any ideas?

I know a couple of you are from round here so if you have any suggestions they would be really welcome.

BTW D&G was awesome in the snowy winter wonderland...

Near Castle Douglas on a farm called BarnCrosh lovely place, we went to Kirkcudbright yesterday, the wife wants to buy a place round here now. Not sure where she thinks we would find the money...

Carlingwalk Loch was a nice walk too actually 4+ miles for a 6 year old didn't go down well though...

Anywhere else we should visit while we are here?

It's a beautiful area, spoiled by and wasted on the idiots that live in it... Stuff to do with the wee ones, dunno how wee but there's Galloway Forest Park about 15-20 miles west on the A75, wild deer, goats park, roadkill cafe and loads of walks and mountain bike trails to do. I'll have a think for other stuff too
