Dumfries Museum and Camera Obscura
A treasure house of history in Dumfries and Galloway telling the story of the land and people of the region. Look out for fossil footprints left by pre-historic animals, the wildlife of the Solway, tools and weapons of our earliest people, stone carvings by Scotland's first Christians and the every day things of the Victorian farm, workshop and home.
The Camera Obscura, installed in 1836, is on the top floor of the old windmill tower. From it you can see a panoramic view of Dumfries and the surrounding countryside. A unique experience.
Museums trails and fun activities, visitor information and shop with unusual and nostalgic toys, gifts and pocket money buys.
Please Note: The Camera Obscura is dependent on weather conditions.
