HISTORY AND HERITAGE
The history of Dumfries and Galloway can be traced back to Roman times, since when the region has been visited by Picts, Vikings, Saxons and Danes before becoming a battleground between the Scots and the English. William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Bonnie Prince Charlie and Robert Burns have all contributed to the rich historical tapestry of the region. Visit one of the many museums, castles and big houses and immerse yourself in history and the stories to be told from the past to the modern day.
