Old photograph of cottages and houses in Ringford village beside the Tarff Water. It is about four miles north of the fishing town of Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The Kirkcudbright Railway used to run past the village, the nearest stop being Tarff. The 1895 public timetable shows seven trains each way except Sundays; one each way ran Mondays and Fridays only; the journey time was 25 minutes. A mid morning train from London St Pancras, England, to Glasgow gave a connection at Dumfries for Castle Douglas. The railway opened in 1864, and closed in 1965.
