Old Photographs Kirkcowan Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Kirkcowan situated 7 miles south south west of Newton Stewart, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The principal industry has always been agriculture, although in the 19th century two woolen mills were erected on the River Tarff nearby. Kirkcowan is on the medieval pilgrim route to Whithorn, seat of Christianity in Scotland.
