Old Photograph High Street New Galloway Scotland

Old photograph of people, shop, car, cottage, town clock and houses on the High Street in New Galloway in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This village was formally founded in the 17th century by the Viscount of Kenmure and granted Royal Burgh status in 1630, this was to enable it to serve as a market town. However, Kirkcudbright, only 19 miles to the south, was larger and drew more traders. New Galloway thus grew very slowly and is the smallest Royal Burgh in Scotland.
