Devorgilla Bridge, Dumfries
The original Devorgilla Bridge was built in 1431, replacing an earlier, wooden structure named after Lady Devorgilla, the mother of King John Balliol. The bridge survived for almost two centuries until it was destroyed in a major flood in the 1620s, resulting in a nine-arched bridge being built.
The bridge was shortened by the removal of the three easternmost arches in the late eighteenth century. It is a Category A listed building (LB26354 Link
Historic Environment Scotland).
Historic Environment Scotland).
Old Bridge House, Dumfries
Built ca1660 at the western end of Devorgilla Bridge by James Birkmyre, a barrel maker, as his house and workshop. It is reputedly the oldest surviving domestic dwelling in Dumfries. It was used as an inn for much of the 18th and 19th centuries and was converted to a museum, following the death of its last occupant in 1959.
It is a Category B listed building (LB26310 Link Historic Environment Scotland).

The caul or weir in Dumfries
The caul on the Nith below the old Devorgilla Bridge is of early origin, built originally of stakes, but reconstructed many times in timber and rubble. Although the lade is infilled, the site of the sluice gate at the S end of the caul can still be seen.
St Michael's Primary School
Originally, the school began as a Church School attached to the South Free Territorial Church. The school opened in 1865 and provided a general education - including Latin, for some pupils.
'At St Michael’s Primary we aim to provide a secure, supportive and friendly environment in which the children will develop skills and experiences, which will allow them to reach their full potential.' Link
