Old Photograph Church Street Drummore Scotland

Old photograph of a car, cottages and church on Church Street in Drummore, Wigtownshire, Scotland. This Scottish village is located where the Kildonan Burn runs out to the sea, a few miles north of the Mull of Galloway. It is the most southerly in Scotland, and further south than the cities of Durham and Carlisle in England. A branch line was proposed in 1877 linking to the Portpatrick Railway. It was opposed by the feudal landowner, the Earl of Stair, and finally abandoned after the failure of the City of Glasgow Bank in 1882; aspects of the village's street layout still reflect plans for the railway.
