Relax in the peaceful surroundings of Lockerbie Manor, a beautiful hotel located close to Gretna Green and the market town of Dumfries, once home to Robert Burns.

Lockerbie Manor dates from 1814 and was built in the Georgian style for Sir William Douglas and Dame Grace Johnstone. Their famous great grandson John Sholto Douglas, the 8th Marquis of Queensberry, was responsible for formulating the present day Queensberry Rules of boxing. It is believed that the rules were completed here in this house. In 1920, the Manor became a hotel.Travelling from the South, take Junction 17 on the m74 (second exit marked Lockerbie).
