Old Photographs Kirkcowan Scotland
Old photograph of cottages and houses in Kirkcowan located six miles from Newton Stewart, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. William Gordon, had charters of parts of the barony of Craichlaw, in the parish of Kirkcowan and county of Wigtown. He married Janet Baillie, and was ancestor of the Gordons of Craighlaw. The principal industry has always been agriculture, although in the 19th century two woollen mills were erected on the River Tarf nearby. Thomas Hugh was born in Kirkcowan in 1869, the eldest son of John Milroy.. He was a Scottish physiologist and organic chemist. He died in North Berwick on 20 March 1950. He did not marry and had no children. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
