Dryfesdale

Dryfesdale[1] (/ˈdraɪfsdeɪl/ DRYFSE-dayl)[2] is a civil parish of the council area of Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.

[3] The civil parish of Dryfesdale includes the town of Lockerbie which has apparently existed since at least the days of Viking influence in this part of Scotland in the period around AD 900.

The presence of the remains of a Roman camp a mile to the west of the town suggests its origins may be even earlier.

Remains of eight camps, some square or Roman, others circular or Caledonian, occur in different places, chiefly on hilltops.

[4] Dryfesdale Cemetery has the main UK memorial to the victims of the bombing Pan Am Flight 103, which occurred on 21 December 1988, over the town of Lockerbie.
