About this property

Mochrum is a small rural village and parish in the historic county of Wigtownshire, now part of Dumfries and Galloway in southwest Scotland. It lies on the western side of the Machars peninsula, a few miles inland from Luce Bay and around eight to ten miles southwest of the market town of Wigtown. The surrounding countryside is gently undulating farmland, a mixture of pasture, woodland, and moor, with traces of old sea margins along the coast. The area retains a quiet, pastoral atmosphere characteristic of the Machars, with open fields, stone dykes, and scattered farmsteads.
The village itself is modest in size, consisting mainly of a single main street lined with stone-built cottages and small houses dating from the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, along with a few later additions. Most of the buildings are constructed in the local vernacular style using rubble stone and slate roofs, giving the settlement a cohesive and traditional appearance. The focal point of the village is the Kirk of Mochrum, a simple but striking parish church built in 1794 on the site of an earlier medieval church. The churchyard and surrounding trees form a picturesque centre to the settlement, and the building is now listed for its architectural and historic value.
