Dumfries Sheriff Court

Dumfries Sheriff Court was designed by David Rhind of Edinburgh and built in 1863-6. It is a tall Baronial red sandstone building which boasts a giant pepperpot turret and cannon spouts.

Following an extensive internal renovation in 1994 the Court continues to ensure justice for the people of Dumfries and Galloway. In February 2010 Unification of Courts in the area took place and District Courts were abolished, Justice of the Peace Courts were established and since then all different levels of crime are now dealt with in the same building with the exception of the more serious that are still dealt with by the High Court.

Building tours including court rooms and cell areas.
