Dumfries area

Dumfries is an ancient market town located in the South West of Scotland, not far from the border with England (around 25 miles).  It is an attractive town that has much to offer visitors and residents alike.

Warm red sandstone buildings add a distinctive charm to the town and it is a busy touring base for visitors wanting to explore the wonderful Solway coast.

Robert Burns - the Scottish Bard - spent his last years in Dumfries. This proud association is reflected by the town's many dedications to the bard; from a statue taking pride of place on the High Street to the many commemorative sights on show.

So whether you stop by Dumfries to see the town in its own right or use it as a convenient stop over, this interesting town will make it worth your while.
