Notes for Dumfries and Galloway
The area today known as Dumfries and Galloway formerly comprised the separate Scottish counties of Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire and Wigtownshire.
Please Note: The proper title for Kirkcudbrightshire is The Stewartry of Kirkcudbright - 'The Stewartry', for short. The Stewartry of Kirkcudbright and Wigtownshire together comprise the area generally referred to as Galloway.
