Hiring a car at Dumfries

Dumfries is nicknamed "Queen of the South" for its stately atmosphere. The name is also given to the town's football club. Dumfries is among the main centres in southern Scotland, and it's become a popular destination for visitors. One reason is its wealth of cultural activities, including the 18th century Theatre Royal, the oldest in Scotland still in operation. There are two cinemas, showing both mainstream and offbeat films. The Gracefield Arts Centre is dedicated to showcasing the best of both local and international arts and crafts, while the aviation museum close to Tinwald Downs recalls the wartime importance of the area for training pilots. There are several golf courses around the River Nith, so with the help of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, you can explore them at leisure. A short drive from the town is the Solway Coast, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Nearby, a local motor racing legend is celebrated at the David Coulthard Museum. The Enterprise branch in Dumfries is in Station Road, across the car park at the back of the station.
