About us

Founded in 1921, the Rotary Club of Dumfries is one of the earliest to be established in Scotland.  The club has been serving the community of Dumfries and getting involved in International projects for more than 100 years.

We are a friendly club and love welcoming visitors to our lunchtime meetings held at the Cairndale Hotel and Spa, English Street, Dumfries, DG1 2DF.  Check out our Meetings & Events tab for details.


Most of our meetings include a talk from an invited speaker, entertaining and educating us on a wide variety of subjects. Occasionally we have an informal meeting with no speaker where we enjoy one another's company over lunch.


We are an active Club with very successful charity, fundraising and community events.  Details of forthcoming events and news about what our club is up to can be found on our Facebook page.

If you would like to visit one of our meetings just get in touch using the club contact form or by messaging us via Facebook.
