Description
Castle Douglas Through Time offers a unique glimpse into the history and development of this Scottish market town. From prehistoric times to its current status as a thriving tourist destination, the area has undergone significant changes. The story begins with the discovery of fertiliser in Carlingwark Loch, which led to the establishment of the present town by wealthy merchant William Douglas in 1792. Although his vision for a cotton industry failed, Castle Douglas continued to flourish as a market town, thanks in part to its connections via the rail line to Dumfries and later the A75 trunk road. This book brings these changes to life through a fascinating series of new and old photographs, providing an essential record of Castle Douglas' history.
