Natureville
Nature on your doorstep
We're fortunate in Dumfries to live side by side with hundreds of species of birds, wild flowers and trees, fish, mammals and insects. Stop for a moment and look around, and you'll see that we're part of an abundance of nature; sometimes in the most unexpected places.
This guide offers an insight into some of the wildlife we live among. We hope you enjoy it, discover something new, and find something worth sharing.
