Old Travel Blog Photograph Post Office Dunragit Scotlland
Old travel Blog photograph of the cottage Post Office in Dunragit, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Dunragit, Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Reicheit, is a village on the A75, between Stranraer and Glenluce. Dunragit is within the parish of Old Luce, in the traditional county of Wigtownshire. The modern village grew up around the west gate of Dunragit House, an 18th century country house, though there is evidence of Neolithic settlement in the area. Dunragit Creamery was operated by Nestlé, but this is no longer in use. The place-name Dunragit is said to derive from Din Rheged meaning " Fort of Rheged ", referring to the Brythonic kingdom of Rheged which existed in northern Britain between the 5th and 8th centuries. It is possible that this was one of the royal sites used by the kings of Rheged, and it has been further suggested as the site of King Arthur's northern court.
