Old photograph of cars, people and Henry's Stores on Main Street in Glenluce, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This village is in the parish of Old Luce in Wigtownshire, Scotland. It lies on the A75 road between Stranraer and Newton Stewart. Near to the village is Glenluce Abbey, a disused Cistercian monastery built in 1192 by Lochlann, Lord of Galloway. Following the Reformation it was abandoned, falling into its current ruinous state. Glenluce was served by Glenluce railway station from 1862 by the Portpatrick and Wigtownshire Joint Railway which provided a strategic link to Northern Ireland under British Rail. However, it was cut under the Beeching Axe in 1965.
