Nicknamed the "Queen of the South," Dumfries is a market town with a fascinating history. The town is dotted with historic pieces of architecture, including a Gothic bridge built in the 12th century, the triangular Caerlaverock Castle, and the beautiful Greyfriars Church, where Robert the Bruce committed his infamous murder. Anyone interested in the darker side of the town's history can take one of the many guided ghost tours on offer. Dumfries has also been home to a number of famous individuals over the years, but the most notable is Robert Burns, whose home has been turned into an interesting museum.
