Someone posted a link to this picture today on EUpedia. It has Galloway and
Dumfries as a Gaelic region unlike the rest of the Lowlands.

"One interpretation of the linguistic divide in 1400, here based on

I have been trying to get a grasp on the old Galloway clan structure through
a review of the "Ragman roll" of 1296, which combines the families of
Kirkcudbrightshire with those of Dumfriesshire.
