Kelton Harbour and Village (NX988708) are located on the East side of the River Nith opposite the Kirkconnell Merse, about 3.5 miles (5.6Km) from Dumfries and 1.5 miles (2.4Km) north of Glencaple Quay. The old harbour served the immediate area as well as its hinterland in Dumfries and Galloway.[1] The quays at Dumfries, Kingholm Quay[2] Laghall and Castledykes lay upstream and downstream jetties or quays were located at Glencaple Quay, Kirkconnell and Carsethorn.[3][4][5][6]
The spelling Keltoun, Kellton[7] and Kaltoun[8] are also on record and the name may derive from the Scots Gaelic "cille" for a church or churchyard.[9]
