During this historic tour we will visit the Whitesands and Devorgilla Bridge where we will explore the history of Dumfries and Lady Devorgilla. From here will walk to St Michaels Churchyard and Castle Dykes Park and discuss the history of Robert Burns and the history of Robert the Bruce and the Wars of Independence. We will then get back on the coach and take in the beautiful scenery of the Solway coast before visiting Caerlaverock Castle, a moated triangular castle first built in the 13th century. This is the perfect trip to explore Dumfries and the surrounding areas and find out about our incredible history. Booking is essential as spaces are limited.
