Dumfries

Dumfries occupies the banks of the River Nith in Dumfries and Galloway, in southwest Scotland. The Nith flows south towards the Solway Firth, passing through a historic market town whose centre links older districts on both sides of the water. Dumfries is closely associated with Robert Burns: Scotland’s national poet spent his final years here, and Burns House preserves the home where he lived from 1793 until his death in 1796. His mausoleum stands in St Michael’s Churchyard, while nearby Caerlaverock Castle is known for its 13th-century triangular, moated design.
