Venue Description

Built in 1660 into the sandstone of a medieval bridge, 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.

Accessibility

The house is on two floors. Only the lower floor is accessible without steps. Access to this door is on the river side of the building, rather than the bridge side. On occasions, particularly wet weather, the lower floor door will be closed, but visitors can see the staff from the bridge side and ask for it to be opened. There is a gentle slope around the building between these doors.
