One of the most interesting historical attractions in Dumfries is the Theatre Royal, thought to be the oldest working theatre in Scotland. In an actor-manager named George Sutherland mooted the idea of a purpose-built theatre in Dumfries.
One supporter of the idea was Rober Burns, then still a resident at Ellisland Farm, north of the town. Sutherland raised? The design was based on the Theatre Royal in Bristol and the building seated patrons. The theatre went through stages as a cinema and a roller skating rink, but has been fully restored and now hosts regular theatrical performances, opera, ballet, music and Christmas pantomimes.
Just a few miles north of Dumfries is Ellisland Farm, where Robert Burns built a family home and tried unsuccessfully to launch a career as a gentleman farmer.
