Wigtownshire is a Scottish county, located in Galloway in the extreme South-West. Its history tells of diverse ancestry. Gaels and Anglians, Norsemen and Northumbrians, Irish and Cumbrians, Scots and English all left a mark on this cornerstone of Scotland.
Its history, deep and often hard to find, is etched into its villages,
towns and farms and no less into its people and its hills and shores. Here we hope to offer you some small insight into this beautiful land of our forebears, with keys and links for your searches into history, geography and, especially genealogy.

Updating the WigPages
23 January 2012
The Wigtownshire Pages continue to improve thanks to all our users and contributors. Leigh-Ann and I have both greatly enjoyed working on the project for many years, and we hope it will continue to be useful for many more years to come. Improvements, additions and corrections will continue, but I have now taken over all maintenance and other work on the site. As soon as is practicable, the site, at present graciously hosted with other personal files, will move to a new Rootsweb location
Crawford.
