If you’re fascinated by antiquity, check out John Paul Jones Cottage Museum. Its exterior can easily draw you in, as if still set in 1700's. The cottage was where the American Revolutionary War hero and U.S. Navy founder John Paul Jones was born. There is also an audio presentation inside that will make you time travel. You might want to check out the old and well-kept Camera Obscura in Dumfries Museum, too, the largest museum in Scotland. It’s the home of collections relating to natural history. The Robert Burns Centre is also worth visiting. Carrying a rich history in it, it was the same site where Robert Burns (Bard) - music composer, storyteller, poet, and pioneer of the Romantic Movement - spent the last years of his life. He was the one who wrote “Auld Lang Syne” and “Ae Fond Kiss.” Check in at Hamilton House and you’ll surely have a love vacation. The quaint house is exceptional in and out.
