Christmas candlelit tour at Dumfries House

Dumfries House dresses its grand rooms for Christmas, and on these evenings you see them the old way, by candlelight.

A guide takes you through the principal rooms, all garlands and twinkling trees, while you carry a glass of fizz. The tour ends in the Library with coffee and homemade mince pies. Arrive when the doors open, as the tour sets off about a quarter of an hour later. Spaces are limited on each tour, so book ahead.
