| Place Name | Dryfesdale |
| Description | The Church of Dryfesdale was dedicated to St Cuthbert. In 1116 it belonged to the See of Galloway. Lockerbie falls within the civil parish of Dryfesdale. Lockerbie apparently has existed since at least the days of Viking influence in this part of Scotland in the period around AD 900. The name means Lockard's Farm in Old Norse. The presence of the remains of a Roman camp a mile to the west of the town suggests its origins may be even earlier. Lockerbie first entered recorded history, as Lokardebi, in 1306. |
