Whauphill is a small village located in the historical county of Wigtownshire in the Machars, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.

[1] Whauphill is a hub that supports the local industry, predominantly farming and agriculture.

Whauphill used to have a railway station, village shop, hotel and pub, The station closed for passenger traffic in 1950, and the line was closed in 1964 as part of the Beeching cuts, and the village shop quickly followed suit.

Recent drink driving laws and increase in alcohol taxation have caused revenues in the pub to fall to the point where it is no longer viable and it has closed.

Council cuts were going to cause the Village Hall to close but in an end to long-term decline in Whauphill, a community group has now taken control of the village hall from the council and are using it successfully to run local community events.
