    Are there any buildings or markers connected to Blessed John Duns?
    Unfortunately, Duns does not possess a Franciscan Abbey.
    There is however this portrait of John Duns Scotus displayed in the Council Chamber.
    Regional Director for Scotland for Clan Cunningham International, and a Scottish Armiger.

    Yes, I noticed that Blessed John had to go to Dumfries to enter the Order. I would assume that it was where the nearest friary was located. (Btw, Franciscans don't have abbeys, only friaries or convents. ) The fact that his uncle was the superior certainly didn't hurt.

    I really do like that portrait of him in your office. Are copies available of it?
