Guidebook for Dumfries
Food Scene
Good food, varied menu. Some tables have great views down onto the river. Just a pity about the corridor-like space.
Hullabaloo
Mill RoadGood food, varied menu. Some tables have great views down onto the river. Just a pity about the corridor-like space.
Excellent food. The down-side is the ugly building and boring interior - but it's worth going to for the food.

Drinks & Nightlife
Great location next to the old Harbour Master's house at Kingholm Quay. Pub grub. It's a pleasant walk along the river from the town centre. Kitchen closes early, however, at 8pm.

Entertainment & Activities
Interesting contents, in Victorian and later galleries. Don't miss the camera obscura at the top of the observatory, converted from an old windmill in the early 19thC by the architect Walter Newall.
