Mouswald is a rural village slightly east of Dumfries in south-west Scotland.

[1] The site views southward over the Solway Firth.

A Scandinavian settlement began here in the 9th century and the name Mouswald is said to derive from the Danish mosi vollr, meaning mossy field.

The current church dates from 1816 but was remodelled by J M Bowie of Dumfries in 1929.

[3] The church ceased to be used for worship around 2014 and was subsequently placed on the property market for sale by the Church of Scotland ostensibly for conversion for domestic dwelling.
