Tucked away in south-west Scotland, this historic burgh has witnessed some of the wildest, darkest, and most eccentric moments in Scottish history:
✨ The magical garden on George Street that actually inspired Neverland (no, it didn’t start in London!).
👞 The freezing winter of 1745 when a Jacobite army occupied the High Street with a bizarre demand for footwear.
🔥 The grim 1659 riverbank trial that marked one of the darkest days in Scotland's witch trial history.
🏰 A 13th-century bridge built by one of medieval Scotland’s wealthiest women that still stands tall today.
🚲 And the brilliant local blacksmith who invented the pedal bicycle... only to cause history’s very first cycling traffic incident! 👮♂️
