Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum

The museum is located on the site of the former RAF Dumfries airfield in Heathhall, Dumfries. We are three miles from Dumfries town centre and easily reached by road, by bus or by bike.

By Road

From the junction of the A75 with the A701, head north on the A701 for about 0.5 miles. At the roundabout with the Tinwald Downs Road, turn right and follow the road for about 1 mile until you reach the museum on your left.

The Loch Doon Spitfire

“What a place! Incredible value for money, great displays & the spitfire is breath taking! Was lucky enough to be given a sneak peak at the archives, the workshop & behind the scenes stuff.”
