Eskdalemuir parish church

Eskdalemuir is a civil parish and small village in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, with a population of 265.[1] It is around 10 miles (16 km) north-west of Langholm and 10 miles (16 km) north-east of Lockerbie.

The area comprises high wet moorlands, chiefly used for sheep grazing and forestry plantation (Eskdalemuir Forest). The main settlement is near the White Esk river.

Eskdalemuir is probably best known for the Eskdalemuir Observatory and for the Samye Ling Tibetan Buddhist monastery.
