Old Photograph Little Wamphray Scotland

Old photograph of thatched cottages in Little Wamphray village in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. To the south east of old Wamphray, new houses of were built from about 1760 along what used to be the main road between Carlisle and Glasgow, which was a Roman road before that. They were part of an improvement scheme for the Wamphray estate. Wamphray derives its name, from the Gaelic signifying " the deep glen in the forest, " from the location in a sequestered and thickly wooded vale on the south side of the Water of Wamphray.
