Gatehouse

Kirkcudbrightshire


We collect historical information and photographs associated with people and places around Gatehouse of Fleet and the parishes of Girthon and Anwoth in Kirkcudbrightshire, South-West Scotland.

This website has been developed to make our collections publicly available. We believe that none of the information and photographs are covered by copyright and hence they can be downloaded if required. If you do so then we hope that such downloads would not be used for commercial purposes and that anywhere they are used would contain a reference to this website as the source.

The databases and the website were designed by James Bell.
The site is owned and managed by Graham & Margaret Wright.
