Durisdeer
Dumfries and GallowayA village on the western edge of the Lowther Hills in Dumfries and Galloway, Durisdeer lies on the Kirk Burn, 6 miles (10 km) north of Thornhill. The parish church contains the vault of the first Duke of Queensberry. Durisdeer Hill rises to 569m (1861 feet) nearby and a 4 mile (6.5 km) right of way called the Well Path links Durisdeer with the Dalveen Pass. A Roman fortlet once guarded the road climbing out of Nithsdale into the hills.
