2026 Theme

St. Michael’s is the oldest church in Dumfries, and as the burgh church hosts many important services on behalf of the town.  The present church, built 1740-46, is the third on this site and encompasses the medieval columns of its predecessor.  Famed for its very fine stained-glass windows, and its associations with Scottish bard Robert Burns, it is a popular spot with visitors who can combine the church with a visit of Burns’ Mausoleum in our graveyard. 

For Doors Open Days there will be a talk delivered by Rev. Graham Finch on the stained glass windows within the church, looking at the stories they tell and the importance of preserving them for the future. There will also be the opportunity for a tour of the graveyard.
