Old Bridge House Museum

About Old Bridge House Museum

Cross the fifteenth century Devorgilla Bridge to the Old Bridge House. Built in 1660 into the sandstone of the bridge itself, Dumfries’ oldest house is now a museum of everyday life in the town. You can see the family kitchen, nursery and bedroom of a Victorian home, and pay a visit to an early dentist’s surgery! Interpretive panels and museum trails tell the story of a house overlooking the river Nith.

Accessibility: The quirky small rooms in this 350 year old house are accessed by two sets of narrow steps. Toilets, including a disabled access toilet, are in the nearby Robert Burns Centre.
