This website provides information & news about present-day Kirkcowan, a rural village in Dumfries & Galloway, southwest Scotland. The aim is to cover news, events & activities, clubs & groups, organisations & businesses, and anything else that might be useful or interesting to residents and visitors alike.
Run on a voluntary basis, we hope to help people find & share current information quickly and easily, but the accuracy, quantity and relevance of information will depend on input from group organisers and the wider community.
Mailing List
We’ve reactivated the mailing list (MailChimp) which you can join and we’ll be mailing out updated information e.g. Community Council Minutes etc. as a trial to see if it’s generally well received. (The Signup form is in the RH column under the ‘Search’ box). So – If you see something on the site and would like it to be included in the mailing list than let us know.
