Keith, Jane, the rest of the Davidson family and the Dumfries & District Ayrshire breeders club extend a warm welcome to Dumfries for the 2019 annual conference and AGM. The herd visits will be of a high standard and we have an attractive, varied alternative programme arranged.

The conference base is situated in Crichton Campus which is an 85 acre parkland estate steeped in history and located on the outskirts of Dumfries in the south west of Scotland. The Crichton is a vibrant business and academic community with over 75 businesses and 5 academic partners currently located on the campus.

Next to the Holiday Inn Hotel is Easterbrook Bistro, Bar & Spa and Easterbrook Hall, the largest auditorium in the South of Scotland. The setting, facilities and location made The Crichton a stunning choice for this year’s conference to be located.
