World famous poet Robert Burns, one the town’s most famous residents, was honoured with wreath-laying events to mark the anniversary of his birthday on Wednesday.
Burns Statue at the top of the High Street was the focus of commemorations in the morning to mark 264 years since the poet’s birth.
The event, watched by invited councillors, MPs, MSPs and public onlookers was hosted by Dumfries Burns Club and led by its president David Baird who gave a brief welcome speech.
