 Dumfries Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
Dumfries was founded as a Royal Burgh in 1186 on the east side of the lowest crossing point of the River Nith.
The land beyond the Nith, Galloway, only securely became part of Scotland during Alexander II's reign in 1234: so Dumfries was very much on the frontier during its first 50 years and it grew rapidly as a market town and port.
On the west side of the River Nith is the Robert Burns Centre, housed in what was once the Dumfries Mill.

 River levels water height Scotland   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In the Highlands of Scotland most of the rivers waters turn into a dark colour, like tea or lager caused by the release of tanin from the peat bogs and this signals the prime fishing time in most cases, until the water level drops to normal again.
And so the fly fisherman needs to know the water height and whether it is steady, rising of falling and in addition he needs to know what the river is likely to do in the near future and so an accurate local weather forecast is always appreciated.
Scottish river levels at the under noted locations of particular interest to anglers are obtained from SEPA, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency and these show show the change in river level over the last two to three days.

 Installation of Tensar SS40 helps divert river: News from Tensar International
During the diversion of 3.8kms of the River Nith, at the House of Water, Ayrshire, to gain access to one million tonnes of underlying coal deposits, Scottish Coal needed to reinforce the new clay riverbed base to prevent the water leaking away.
The River Nith is one of Scotland's largest and most important salmon rivers and, having been re-routed once previously, this move returns the river to its approximate original course.
Whilst the actual diversion of the river is a major task in itself, the success of the whole project depends on creating a habitat for the fish to return.

 History of the Burgh of Dumfries - Chapter I
The Nith is the chief river of the County.
A range of hills far to the north, or left, is cleft by the river; and one of the separated portions, passing eastward, terminates in the heights of Mouswald; while the other, taking a western sweep, culminates in Criffel.
Unfortunately for this assumption, the town is situated eight or nine miles distant from the sea; and we cannot suppose that the estuary of the river was higher up in the eleventh century that it now is, whatever is may have been in the pre-historic ages.
