Robert Burns was a frequent visitor to Sanquhar and wrote many of his best known nature poems while inspired by the surrounding countryside. The town today boasts a selection of bars, shops and cafes, a 9 hole golf course, a swimming pool and the A The Airts Arts Centre, which showcases a wide variety of arts and crafts.
