Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)
DUMFRIES: HIGH STREET.
This important town has a considerable manufacture of tweeds and woollens, and is also a great centre for the sale of sheep, to England and elsewhere. It is well placed on high ground ten miles from the mouth of the Nith, and has been the scene of stirring incidents. Edward's old castle has been replaced by the Greyfriars Church, whose steeple can be seen at the top of the street, and it was in the old Greyfriars' Monastery that Bruce and Kirkpatrick murdered the Red Comyn. Another prominent object in the view is the "mid steeple " or tower of the Town Hall. In Burns Street is the house in which the poet lived three years till his death in 1796, having lived eighteen months previously in Bank Street: and his remains rest in St. Michael's burial-ground.
