Location
Dumfries is a former royal burgh and historic town, situated on the River Nith, with a population of around 33,000 and is therefore the largest settlement within the Dumfries & Galloway region of southwest Scotland. The region possesses rolling countryside, a spectacular coastline and an array of bustling towns and villages. It also benefits from good road and rail connections to the north and south. In addition, the ferry ports at Cairnryan provide a connection into Northern Ireland.
The town is home to Scotland's first multi-institutional university campus, comprising the University of the West of Scotland, the University of Glasgow and Dumfries & Galloway College, all of which are held within the 85-acre landscaped Crichton Estate. Scotland’s Rural College also has a nearby campus, within short commuting distance
