To get some things done on the internet we have recently been to Dumfries sometimes with the bus. A friendly small town, which is the biggest of the region Dumfries and Galloway. Scotlands Poet Robert Burns was living here until his death.

Here you see a statue of Burns in front of Greyfriars Church in the Center of Town. To find some more photo impressions click "weiter lesen" below ...
Robert Burns moved to Dumfriesshire in 1788 and Dumfries itself in 1791, living there until his death on 21 July 1796. Dumfries got its nickname 'Queen of the South' from David Dunbar, a local poet, who in 1857 stood in the genereal election. In on of his adresses he called Dumfries "Queen of the South" and this became synonymous with the town.
