Carsphairn (Scottish Gaelic: An Còrsa Feàrna) is a village in the historic county of Kirkcudbrightshire in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
It is located about halfway between Dalmellington and St John's Town of Dalry, on the A713 road.
The village has many features ranging from an ancient stone circle[2] to a nuclear listening post[3] (now disused), and includes local amenities such as a shop, tearoom, a primary school and a village hall.
[1] Carsphairn was made an independent parish around 1627,[4] prior to which it had been a part of the Parish of Dalry, and was created a Free Burgh in 1672 under a charter requested by Robert Grierson of Lag.
Following the end of the First World War, the industry collapsed and by 1928 all lead mining operations had ceased.
