Dumfries sits firmly on the Robert Burns Scottish trail. Rabbie spent the last years of his life here before his death in 1796.  A number of visitor attractions in Dumfries pay homage to our National Poet and his song and poetry.

“The Queen of the South” is an interesting town - especially for the real ale enthusiast. We have 11 pubs selling cask ale - all within a short walk of less than a mile.  The Ale trail forms the basis for our now annual “Dumfries Foot Festival” which is held each Spring.

On your way round our Ale Trail, it is well worth sparing

time to view some of the town’s interesting

historic features ...
