Stewartry
Stewartry was a local government district in the Dumfries and Galloway region of south-west Scotland between 1975 and 1996. The district covered the greater part of the historic county of Kirkcudbrightshire, whose alternative name, the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, provided the district’s title.
Following the abolition of districts under the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994, the area became part of the unitary Dumfries and Galloway Council area in 1996. Under the name Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, the same area continues to be used as a lieutenancy area. Dumfries and Galloway Council maintains a Stewartry area committee whose jurisdiction broadly corresponds to the boundaries of the former district, although minor adjustments have been made where modern electoral ward boundaries differ from those in place prior to 1996.
