Stewartry 1975-96
Image:Scot1975Stewartry.png

Stewartry was formerly (1975-96) a local government district in the Dumfries and Galloway region of Scotland. It took its (rather illogical) name from The Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, an altenative designation of the traditional county of Kirkcudbrightshire, which covered a slightly larger area.


In 1996 it was included in the Dumfries and Galloway unitary area.

Kirkcudbrightshire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1996 words)
The county is still called The Stewartry by its inhabitants and forms the Stewartry area of Dumfries and Galloway Council, represented by eight Stewarty councillors.
The treaty of Norham (24 March 1550) established a truce between the nations for ten years; and in 1552, the Wardens of the Marches consenting, the debatable land ceased to be matter for debate, the parish of Canonbie being annexed to Dumfriesshire, that of Kirkandrews to Cumberland.
Though at the Reformation the Stewartry became fervent in its Protestantism, it was to Galloway, through the influence of the great landowners and the attachment of the people to them, that Mary Queen of Scots owed her warmest adherents, and it was from the coast of Kirkcudbright that she made her luckless voyage to England.
