About The Globe Inn

Experience the "Howff" of a Legend: The Globe Inn

Offer your guests an unforgettable journey into the heart of Scottish history at The Globe Inn, Dumfries. Established in 1610, this isn't just a pub—it was the favorite "howff" of Robert Burns, our national poet.

Our expert storytellers lead immersive guided tours that bring the 18th century to life. Your groups will get up close to a rare collection of original artefacts, including Burns’ own bed, his razor, and the hauntingly beautiful verses he etched directly into the window panes. The highlight? The rare opportunity for guests to sit in Burns’ chair and recite his celebrated lines where they were first shared.
