Old Bridge House Museum
Cross the fifteenth century Devorgilla Bridge to the Old Bridge
House. Built in 1660 into the sandstone of the bridge itself,
Dumfries' oldest house is now a museum of everyday life in the
town. You can see the family kitchen, nursery and bedroom of a
Victorian home, and pay a visit to an early dentist's surgery!
Interpretive panels and museum trails tell the story of a house
overlooking the river Nith.
