Our Two Villages
Dalton & Carrutherstown
Annandale, Dumfries & Galloway
Dalton and Carrutherstown are two small villages set in the rolling Annandale countryside of Dumfries and Galloway, a few miles from Lockerbie, Annan and Dumfries. Dalton is a designated conservation village of old stone cottages and quiet country lanes, while Carrutherstown sits along the A75 within easy reach of the Solway coast. Together they are home to around 300 people.
It is a friendly, close-knit place of big skies, working farms and long-established families, with landmarks such as the ruined 15th-century Little Dalton Kirk and the village parish church. This website is run by the Community Council to keep everyone connected, with local news and live updates, meeting dates, events, and grant funding for the area. Everyone is welcome.
