Kirkgunzeon

Kirkgunȝeon (Scottish Gaelic: Cill Fhionnain) is a village and civil parish in Dumfries and Galloway, south west Scotland.

[3] The lands which would later become the parish were rented by Uchtred, Lord of Galloway to the monks of Holmcultram Abbey,[4] a Cistercian monastery in Cumbria.

[12] The Second Statistical Account, written in 1844, notes that there was also a school "at the lower end of the parish", built by the farmers at their own expense.

[14] The Church of Scotland congregations of Kirkgunzeon and Dalbeattie parishes were officially joined on Wednesday, 16 October 2013.

[15] On 4 August 2015 Dumfries and Galloway Council received an application to alter the church building to a dwelling.

[16] Kirkgunzeon railway station is mentioned briefly in Dorothy L. Sayers' novel The Five Red Herrings, which is set in Galloway.
