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.'

Hedge with embedded trig point

The trig point is on Clumpton Hill in the line of an incomplete hedge dividing two grassed fields. It lies close to the north-eastern edge of Dumfries and houses of that part of the town can be seen in the distance.
