  Drummore - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Drummore is a few miles north of it, the southernmost village in Scotland, and (unexpectedly) further south than the English cities of Newcastle and Carlisle.
Many place-names testify to Norse influence in the southern Rinns, as in many of the west-coast islands and peninsulars, but Drummore's Gaelic name is in tune with the general use of Gaelic in Galloway after the Dark Ages until it was supplanted by English under Presbyterian influence in the 17th century.
The harbour, facing east and hence shielded by the Rinns from the prevailing south-westerly wind, was developed with a jetty in the early 19th century to serve a lime manufacturing industry.
