Newton Stewart
Newton Stewart (Gd: Baile Ur nan Stiùbhartach) is a burgh town in the south of Scotland in the west of the region of Dumfries and Galloway and in the county of Wigtownshire.
The town lies around the River Cree with the majority of the town to the west of the river, it is an administrative centre for the Machars area of Dumfries and Galloway.
History
The town was founded in the mid 17th Century by William Stewart, youngest son of the 2nd Earl of Galloway. The "New Town of Stewart" was granted Burgh status by charter from King Charles II allowing a weekly market and two annual fairs to be held.
It was on a pilgrimage to the shrine of St. Ninian at Whithorn in 1329 that Robert the Bruce forded the river where the present bridge stands. Designed by John Rennie the Elder and built in 1813 it replaced the old bridge of 1745 which was destroyed by floods in 1806.
The nearby village of Blackcraig was once a major lead-mining centre. Granite from the area was used in the construction of most major dock-sides in Britain.
Present day
Newton Stewart is commonly known as "Gateway to the Galloway Hills’’. It stands as the main market town for the east of the Wigtownshire area.
Industry
The main local industries are agriculture, forestry and tourism. The town hosts a local market, and a number of services to support the farming industry. Newton Stewart lies on the southern edge of the Galloway Forest Park, which supplies a large amount of jobs to the town.
