Dumfries and Galloway Holiday Guide
Dumfries and Galloway Landmarks
Follow the Robert the Bruce Trail and travel back through the centuries to the time when one of Scotland’s most famous monarchs ruled the land. Four fascinating routes introduce travellers to the locations and events that shaped one of Scotland’s great historical figures. Visit Ruthwell Church to see the remarkable Ruthwell Cross, an elaborately carved Anglo-Saxon monument that stands 18 feet high.
Dumfries and Galloway is also home to many impressive castles, including the UK’s only triangular castle Caerlaverock Castle. Take time to relax and get back to nature at the Mull of Galloway Nature Reserve in Stranraer. Located at the most southerly point of Scotland, this dramatic cliff-top reserve is an excellent place to see wild sea birds in their natural habitat.

Featuring original manuscripts and audio-visual exhibits, the museum paints a vivid picture of this charismatic Scottish poet.
