In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Eldrig like this:
Eldrig or Elrig, a village in Mochrum parish, SE Wigtownshire, 3 miles NW of Port William. Eldrig Loch, 1 mile to the N, lies 260 feet above sea-level, has an utmost length and width of ½ mile and 1 furlong, and contains some fine trout.—Ord. Sur., sh. 4, 1857.
Eldrig is now part of DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY Council. Click here for graphs and data of how DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Eldrig itself, go to Statistics.
