A few of us didn't walk on Saturday and spent the day exploring Dumfries
There was loads to do - we did some shopping, explored the River Nith and the Old Bridge House Museum. Then we went to Burns House where Robert Burns lived and walked along Burns Street to Greyfriars Church where he is burried.
