Kirtlebridge

Kirtlebridge is a village in Dumfries and Galloway, southern Scotland. It is located north-east of Annan, north-west of Kirkpatrick-Fleming, and south of Eaglesfield. The village is located where the A74 motorway and the West Coast Main Line railway cross the Kirtle Water.
It used to have a village pub but it is now a licensed guest house which has a residents bar and is very dog friendly.
Kirtlebridge railway station on the main line formerly served the village, and a nearby junction marked the start of the Solway Junction Railway to Annan. The Kirtlebridge rail crash occurred at the station on 2 October 1872, and resulted in 12 deaths.
Not far from the village is Bonshaw Tower and its more recent adjoining house. The tower was one of a number of structures built along the border as protection against incursions by the British.
