Tam o' Shanter only meant to stay for one🥃

But as Robert Burns famously told it, one drink turned into a rather eventful journey home...

Involving a stormy night, witches dancing at Alloway Kirk, the devil playing the pipes and a desperate escape across the Brig o' Doon. Tam made it home in one piece. His poor grey mare Meg wasn't quite so lucky with her tail!

And Burns knew a thing or two about Halloween. He even dedicated an entire poem to Ayrshire's old traditions, from burning nuts to predict romance to pulling kail stalks to discover who you might marry 🪶

Long before pumpkins, Scotland had turnip lanterns, guising and dooking for apples. We've always taken Halloween seriously around here.

At the Dumfries Arms, our own history stretches back to 1717, when the hotel began life as a coaching inn. With Robert Burns among its notable former guests, so a ghost appearing behind our bar tonight feels rather fitting 👻

Happy Halloween, stay for one tonight, but we won't say a word if it turns into three!

Whatever kind of catch-up you’re in the mood for, we’ve probably got an offer for it 🤎

A relaxed lunch, dinner and drinks, Happy Hour with the girls, an overnight stay when you fancy making a night of it, or even just coffee and cake because sometimes that’s all you need! 🍰

Keep an eye on our latest offers and make the most of a little time at the DA.

Good food, good drinks and a very good excuse to get something in the diary.

Some things just aren’t worth compromising on.

Your wedding venue should feel right the second you walk in, not almost right, not something you have to convince yourself of.

The space, the atmosphere, the food, the flow of the day, the way your guests feel… it should all align with the vision you’ve had in your head from the start 💭

At the Dumfries Arms, we believe the best weddings happen when the venue feels like a natural fit for you.

Because this is one of those days where “close enough” simply won’t do 🤎

If you could bottle up the feeling of summer, what would it taste like?🍸

A perfectly mixed Cosmopolitan, a crisp pint...

Summer might be behind us, but some drinks have a way of taking us right back to sunnier days ☀️

Tell us, which one are you choosing?
