Welcome to SRUC Barony, Dumfries
SRUC Barony, Dumfries is set within a working 260 hectare estate, which is situated in the rolling landscape of Dumfries and Galloway in South West Scotland.
Barony Campus Sports Facilities
With its superb changing facilities, the Barony sports hall is suitable for badminton (4 courts), indoor tennis, carpet bowls, basketball, volleyball, indoor football and table tennis - please enquire for rental options.
The sports hall annexe offers the most popular forms of self torture! This includes a treadmill, cycling machine and multi-gym. Ideal for an aerobic work out or other fitness training.
Your supporters can watch you compete from the comfort of the Kirkmichael bar which over looks the sports hall.
If you are a naturalist, bird watching from a custom built hide overlooking the pond or along the Ae valley may appeal. A visit to 'big wood' provides the best opportunity to see red squirrels, a common sight on the Barony estate.
