The Globe is found down a tiny alley in Dumfries town centre. It is absolutely ancient with low doorways and you feel as though you've stepped back in time once inside.

I recently got married in Scotland. The night before the wedding (at Auchen Castle in Beatock - read my review about this Hotel before booking!) I wanted somewhere special for 10 Adults and four children to dine (us & guests). I contacted The Globe Inn as I had seen their website, and was impressed (prob cos I'm big Burn's fan).... More
