Old Photographs Kippford Scotland
Old photograph of people, cottages, shop and houses in Kippford in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This is is a small village along the Solway coast. It stretches along the banks of the Urr estuary and in places is only one house wide. Kippford is a popular sailing village, with many small yachts moored in the tidal estuary of the River Urr, and events organised by the Solway Yacht Club. Kippford can only be accessed by car from Barnbarroch, passing by Craigieknowes Golf Course. Between Kippford and Rockcliffe lies the Mote of Mark, a hill fort. Victorian Kippford had interests in the granite quarrying industry. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
