Interpreters Near You in Dumfries

Dumfries is the county town of the historic county of Dumfriesshire and the administrative centre of Dumfries and Galloway: the council has its headquarters here at County Buildings. Scotland's Census 2022 counted 33,676 people in the Dumfries locality. The town has its own court, Dumfries Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court, in the Sheriff Court House on Buccleuch Street. NHS Dumfries and Galloway runs the Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary, the main hospital in the region, which moved in 2018 to a new building at the Garroch roundabout on the A75, about 2 miles west of the centre. The same board runs Midpark Hospital, about 2 miles south-east of the town.

Because the Royal Infirmary is the main hospital for the whole region, a patient on its lists may live a long way from Dumfries, so we ask for the patient's home town as well as the ward or clinic when a booking comes in. The Crichton campus brings the University of Glasgow, the University of the West of Scotland and Dumfries and Galloway College together on one estate, which adds student appointments to the mix. Visitors arriving by rail come through Dumfries station on the Glasgow South Western Line, with trains to Glasgow Central and Carlisle. Bookings are open 24/7, and interpreters can attend in person or work by telephone or video.

The River Nith runs south through the middle of the town, splitting it into east and west banks. Lockerbie is about 11 miles east and Annan about 15 miles east, while Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas lie about 13 and 15 miles to the south-west. Moffat is about 19 miles north and New Galloway about 21 miles west. For smaller sites run by the same board, Lochmaben Hospital is about 7 miles north-east and Thornhill Hospital about 13 miles north-west.
