Gatehouse Of Fleet
Gatehouse of Fleet ( ) is a town, half in the civil parish of Girthon, and half in the parish of Anwoth, divided by the river Water of Fleet, Fleet, Kirkcudbrightshire, within the council administrative area of Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. History The western approach to the town is dominated by the imposing Cardoness Castle. The castle was built in the late 15th century by the McCulloch family, who were notable for their lawlessness as well as their support for John Balliol's claim to the List of Scottish monarchs, throne of Scotland in the late 13th century. The town takes its name from its location upon the river the Water of Fleet, which empties into the Fleet Bay, eventually entering the larger Wigtown Bay. The town's former role as the Gait House, or toll booth, over the river gives it the initial part of its name. The settlement of Anwoth is one mile (1.5 km) to the west of Gatehouse of Fleet; Samuel Rutherford was minister at Anwoth Old Church from 1627 to 163 ...
