Hi Listers, My Great-great-great-grandfather, John McNAUGHT, was born in Auchengibbert, Urr, Kirkcudbright in 1782. Am trying to determine if Auchengibbert was the name of a farm or of a village. Any information greatly appreciated. Lois McNaught

Auchengibbert was, for a time, the home of "Mother Buchan and her fanatical adherents". This was in the late 1700s and a search on Google for the "Buchanites" may give you some information. I do have some detail - but Auchengibbert is only briefly mentioned. I can let you have that information if you wish.

Hi Lois As you will have noticed, there is more than one Auchengibbert. The one in Urr is between the villages of Crocketford, on the main A75 road, and Milton on the Old Military road. It is a fairly large farm and probably would have been a 'farmtown' in days gone past. Regards Ian. Researching Family History in Dumfries & Galloway ~ and beyond.
