Location
Dumfries, with a population of around 33,000, is the largest town in Dumfries & Galloway and is therefore southwest Scotland’s main shopping and administrative centre. The town lies approximately 75 miles south of Glasgow and 34 miles northwest of Carlisle, occupying a strategic location at the intersection of the A75, A76, and A701 trunk roads. The A709 provides the shortest link to the A74(M) motorway at Lockerbie, although the A75 and A701 offer alternative routes dependant on the direction of travel, with junctions at Gretna and Beattock respectively. The A75 also provides a link to the Northern Irish ferry ports at Cairnryan.
The property is set on the northern side of Buccleuch Street, between its junctions with Whitesands and Charlotte Street, and forms part of the town’s main professional district. Nearby commercial properties include D&G Council municipal chambers, Dumfries Sheriff Court, professional offices, department stores, salons, retail units, public houses, restaurants, and hot-food takeaways.
