Its ideal location means that in less than a minutes walk you will find the world’s oldest working Camera Obscura. Installed in 1836 on the top floor of the windmill tower at Dumfries Museum, the windmill was converted into an observatory, from which you can see a fascinating panoramic view of Dumfries and the surrounding countryside.   This cottage is also only a short walking distance to the town centre of Dumfries, where you will find the local Dock park, shops, Bars and Restaurants, whilst you enjoy walking alongside the River Nith.
