EXTERNAL REFERENCE

Wigtown Survey report of the Royal Burgh.

The centre of the Town is described as a square enclosed by buildings with an East and West Port. The County buildings erected in 1862 dominate the houses built in 18th century county style. Windows are often embellished and doorways may have columned porticos. The condition of houses, school and public halls is criticised.

20th century GD 138/2/172
