Old Photograph Dornock Scotland
Old photograph of cottages in Dornock located two miles East of Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This Scottish village is famous for the Battle of Dornock during the Wars of Scottish Independence. In 1333, William of Lochmaben, Sir Ralph Dacre and Sir Anthony Lucy led an English force of 800 men into Dumfriesshire. William Douglas, Lord of Liddesdale and 50 Scottish defenders along with Sir Humphrey Boys and Sir Humphrey Jardine moved to intercept them. On the 25th of March 1333, the small Scottish force intercepted the English at the village of Dornock. Little is known about the battle itself, as it was reportedly over very quickly, but 24 Scots were killed and Douglas was taken prisoner. England reported only two losses.
