Dumfries is a market town within the Dumfries and Galloway council area, in southern Scotland. The town is located near the mouth of the River Nith, as it empties into the Solway Firth. Dumfries today has a population of 43,000.
It is generally accepted that the area around Dumfries has been inhabited by the Roman times, and much evidence of Roman presence have been recovered, from coins to weapons and more. When exactly Dumfries was founded is vague, but we do know that it has been around by the 11th century.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
