Dumfries Museum and Camera Obscura
This building, the top floor of which houses the Camera Obscura, is an eighteenth-century windmill set on Corbelly Hill. After conversion for use as a Camera Obscura and observatory, the building was opened to the public in 1836. The main role of the building later changed from observatory to museum, and the exhibits here include archaeological finds from the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Age; ores and other minerals; wildlife; fragments of Celtic crosses, and ogham inscriptions. A spiral staircase in the windmill tower is built around the mast of a ship.
The Camera Obscura in Dumfries opened on the 1st of August 1836; according to a BBC news report, it is "thought to be the oldest continuously working device of its kind in the world".
