Wigtown Parish Church Records

1706 - 1854


The parish of Wigtown is bounded on the north by the parish of Penninghame, on the east by the Solway Firth, on the south and west by the Parish of Kirkinner. The records prior to 1799 have been poorly maintained and have significant gaps during the 1700s. Margaret MacLauchlan, widow of John Milliken of Drumjargon in the parish of Kirkinner, was martyred by drowning near the town of Wigtown in 1685.
