Long before Robert the Bruce became King of Scots, his family's power base sat on the banks of the River Annan.
The original Bruce stronghold
Annan Castle formed the original home of the de Brus family, lords of Annandale, who would go on to produce Robert the Bruce. The family's local roots ran deep, and it was Bruce himself who granted Annan its first charter of incorporation as a royal burgh in 1306, with its privileges later confirmed by a charter from James V in 1538.
A border town that kept its connections
Annan's links to notable figures didn't end with the Bruces: a cairn on the town's jetty commemorates Robert Burns, who worked here as an excise man in the 1790s, and the three-span Annan Bridge, overlooked by the Blue Bell Inn, was built in 1826 by Robert Stevenson — better known for his lighthouses.
