Further afield but definitely worth a day trip to is the attractive market town of Dumfries (48 miles). Set in picturesque surroundings, this vibrant little town is steeped in history and culture and has an exciting music and arts scene, hosting theatre productions and music festivals all year round. Castles and museums surround its perimeters which you can visit to learn about the history and heritage of this beautiful region of Dumfries and Galloway.
