Dumfries House

Dumfries House was saved by the intervention of Prince Charles a few years ago, he made a substantial contribution to a consortium attempting to buy the house and it's contents, securing them as the removal vans were being filled on the driveway.

The house and it's contents are still undergoing restoration, but much has been done and it's well worth a visit. The grounds and out-buildings are being used for a number of projects aimed at helping local young people find carreeers in the hospitality industry.

Prince Charles apparently keeps in touch with the project and has often stayed in the house, he is in fact due to vsit in the coming week.
