Crichton Central – #TheCrichton 2021

Criffel View is located within The Crichton, an 85 acre parkland estate in Dumfries. The historic sandstone building, which underwent an extensive refurbishment programme in 2020/21, has been transformed into a modern and inspiring cafe and co-working space, which is schedule to open in 2021.

The Crichton is already home to 80+ business, third sector and academic tenants and partners and has stunning grounds and gardens, one of the largest auditoriums in the South of Scotland, a hotel, business park, college and university campus, bistro, spa, bar, church, farm, dairy centre and nearby golf course. It is a beautiful historic estate with iconic sandstone buildings and a fascinating history as a psychiatric hospital.

Crichton Central will complement existing services and facilities at The Crichton and will further enhance The Crichton Community. As a terminus and interchange for ideas and a central station for collaboration and innovation, Crichton Central will put The Crichton firmly on the map as a collaborative centre for learning and rural innovation in the South of Scotland.
