Wigtownshire is a Scottish county, located in the extreme South-West in the district of Dumfries and Galloway. Its history tells of diverse ancestry. Gaels and Anglians, Norsemen and Northumbrians, Irish and Cumbrians, Scots and English all left a mark on this cornerstone of Scotland. Its history, deep and often hard to find, is etched into its villages, towns and farms and no less into its people and its hills and shores.
