Gatehouse of Fleet
Gatehouse of Fleet (Scottish Gaelic: Taigh an Rathaid) is a town in Kirkcudbrightshire, within the District Council of Dumfries and Galloway Area, Scotland, which has existed since the mid-18th century, although the area has been inhabited since much earlier. Much of its development was attributable to the entrepreneur James Murray's decision to build his summer home, Cally (now a hotel), there in 1765.
Cardoness Castle
In AD1220 an old Cardoness Castle was noted in records, when a Nicholas de Kerdenes and his wife Cicely were in dispute with the monastery at Dundrennan over Cicely's dowry - the litigation went on for over 20 years. Nicholas was probably descended from one of a number of Anglo-Norman lords who were persuaded by the King of Scotland to settle in the area in an attempt to reduce the power of the Lords (King) of Galloway (MacDowalls).
Anwoth
Anwoth is a settlement near the Solway Firth in the Stewarty of Kirkcudbright, Galloway, in South West Scotland, within a parish of the same name in the Vale of Fleet, Dumfries and Galloway. Anwoth lies a mile (1.5 km) to the west of Gatehouse of Fleet. Anwoth's most famous inhabitant was the Rev. Samuel Rutherford (1600? - 1661), who was the minister at Anwoth Old Kirk from 1627 until 1636 when he was banished to Aberdeen.
Cally Palace
Cally Palace, formerly known as Cally House, is an 18th-century country house in Dumfries & Galloway, in the south west of Scotland. The house is now a four star country house hotel and golf resort. It is located 1.2 kilometres south of Gatehouse of Fleet.
