Dumfries calls itself the "Queen of the South", and it's the town where Robert Burns spent his last years and wrote some of his best-known work.
Robert Burns's Final Years
Burns moved to Dumfries to work as an exciseman and spent his last eight years in the town, from 1788 until his death in 1796. His local, the Globe Inn, dates back to 1610 and still holds his favourite chair along with verses he scratched into a windowpane with a diamond stylus. Burns House on Burns Street, and his mausoleum in St Michael's Churchyard, are both still standing.
Queen of the South
Dumfries earned its "Queen of the South" nickname as the main trading town on the River Nith and the administrative centre of Dumfries and Galloway — a title the local football club carries in its own name to this day.
What Dumfries' High Street Doesn't Stock
Dumfries has plenty of everyday shopping, but bulk bags, vegan ranges and halal-friendly sweets aren't something the local high street tends to carry — that's a gap online ordering fills instead.
