Dumfries is a market town and former royal burgh within the Dumfries and Galloway council area of Scotland. Dumfries is near the mouth of the River Nith into the Solway Firth. Dumfries was a civil parish and became the county town of the former county of Dumfriesshire. Dumfries is nicknamed Queen of the South. People from Dumfries are known colloquially as Doonhamers.
Like the rest of Dumfries and Galloway, of Scotland's three major geographical areas Dumfries lies in the Southern Uplands. The river Nith runs through Dumfries toward the Solway Firth in a southwards direction splitting the town into East and West.
Dumfries has a long history as a county town, and as the market town of a surrounding rural hinterland. Dumfries is a relatively prosperous community but the town centre has been exposed to the centrifugal forces that have seen retail, business, educational, residential and other uses gravitate towards the town's urban fringe.
Located on top of a small hill, Dumfries Museum is centred on the 18th century windmill which stands above the town. Included are fossil footprints left by prehistoric reptiles. Based in the control tower near Tinwald Downs, the aviation museum has an extensive indoor display of memorabilia which strives to preserve aviation heritage, much of which has come via various recovery activities.
The Theatre Royal, Dumfries was built in 1792 and is the oldest working theatre in Scotland. There are a number of festivals which take place throughout the year, mostly based on traditional values. Guid Nychburris (Middle Scots, meaning Good Neighbours) is the main festival of the year, a ceremony which is largely based on the theme of a positive community spirit.
Dumfries is linked to the Northbound A74(M) motorway at Beattock via the A701 road. The A75 road eastbound links Dumfries to the southbound A74(M), leading to the M6 motorway and Carlisle. The A75 road west links Dumfries with the ferry port of Stranraer. The A76 road connects to Kilmarnock in Ayrshire. Dumfries railway station lies on the Glasgow South Western Line. It was awarded Best Station Awards by British Rail in 1986 and 1987. The train service is now operated by private company Abellio ScotRail which provides services to Glasgow and Carlisle, and less frequent services direct to Newcastle. The nearest station to Dumfries on the West Coast Mainline is 14 miles (23 km) east along the A709 road at Lockerbie, and the nearest West Coast Mainline station linking directly to Dumfries by rail is Carlisle.
As the largest settlement in Southern Scotland, Dumfries is recognised as a centre for visiting surrounding points of interest. The following are all within easy reach:

Northern Lights In Scotland - Where To See Them In Dumfries & Galloway
The Northern Lights are an amazing spectacle that can be seen from Southern Scotland! Yes, many people think you need to travel to Alaska and Greenland to see this natural phenomenon - but that's not the case.
In Dumfries & Galloway lies the Dark Sky Park at Galloway Forest Park. This has limited light pollution and is the ONLY Dark Sky Park in the UK and the fourth in the world! This makes is a fabulous place to spot the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis.
Autum and Winter are the best times to see the Northern Lights, but even if they don't come out to play, the Dark Sky Park is an amazing location for viewing constellations and planets from the many panoramic viewing points.
Coastal Kippford Holiday Park is on the doorstep of the Galloway Forest Park and makes an excellent base for people wanting to view the night skies as well as have a relaxing holiday in one of our modern, spacious caravans and lodges.
We are close to the beautiful seaside village of Kippford in Dumfries and Galloway, South West Scotland. Our guests love our location with its spacious grounds, wonderful views, nearby woodland walks and its proximity to the many activities that this beautiful region of Scotland has to offer.
Check out all that we have to offer on our website and we look forward to welcoming you soon.
