Dating back to 1793, the town of Dalbeattie in Dumfries and Galloway was important as a port, a mill town and a quarry centre. It was established during the Scottish Industrial Revolution because of the mills that were built here using the water from the Burn into the Urr Valley. When quarrying developed in the later 1800’s it added to the prosperity of the town. Many of the stone buildings that you see date back to this period in history. The nearest town to Dalbeattie is Dumfries and across the river is Castle Douglas.
