Thornhill is a historical village in Dumfries and Galloway in southern
Scotland situated 14 miles north of Dumfries on the River Nith.
Thornhill village was planned and built in 1717 on the Queensberry
Estate on the road linking Dumfries to Glasgow. This rural setting is a
popular tourist destination surrounded by beautiful countryside and
spectacular views over the Southerland Uplands.
There are two hotels and a coaching inn all dating from the 1800’s
and four churches from the 18th and 19th centuries. The wide village has
red-sandstone Victorian villas and a tree-lined main street, the centre
of the village is marked with the octagonal based Mercat Cross and is
topped with the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry’s emblem of a winged
horse.
Thornhill has an 18-hole golf course and the area is ideal for walking,
nature-watching and cycling. Bike-hire is available at Drumlanrig
Castle, a 17th century turreted mansion once the ancient Douglas
stronghold, now home to the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry and is
open to the public.
The castle is a grand renaissance building built by William Douglas the
1st duke of Queensberry and has many interesting features including art
collections, French furniture and tapestries; there is a licensed
restaurant, gift shop, children’s adventure playground, historical
gardens and way-marked woodland walks and cycle routes on the estate.
