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.
