About Kingholm Quay

Kingholm Quay, situated on the River Nith in Dumfries and Galloway, was historically known as the New Quay in the 19th century. This area, which includes a village and warehouses, once served as a vital port for the town of Dumfries and its surrounding regions, with nearby quays located at Laghall, Kelton, Glencaple, Carsethorn, and Kirkconnell Jetty. While it is uncertain if Kingholm had its own fishing fleet, the location remains significant for planning considerations in the area.
