Hi, can anyone help with a photo of this please . I think it was in the main Street. Wigtown Free press 1924 has a business notice saying it had been taken over by Thomas Mc Kellar. The Murrays are relatives and had been blacksmiths for several generations. I have census info but not been able to pinpoint the actual building in New Luce yet.
thanks,
Harriet

I can't tell you if the Blacksmith Shop is visible, but there are pictures of Main Street here

The Smithy is shown on an old map, choose sheet 3, Stranraer, then zoom in on New Luce

There is in fact a Smith Lane in New Luce, but not in quite the same place as shown on the map, so maybe there was more than one in the past, or it moved?
