Canonbie is a small village in Eskdale, sitting on the River Esk close to the English border in the far south-east of Dumfries and Galloway.

The village was the site of Canonbie Priory, an Augustinian house founded in the 12th century and the surrounding area was historically part of the Debatable Lands - the lawless border territory claimed by neither Scotland nor England.

Canonbie has a riverside setting, a village green, a primary school and the Cross Keys inn - a traditional stopping point on the road between Langholm and Carlisle.

The village is a peaceful spot on the edge of the border country, with good fishing on the Esk and quiet lanes for walking and cycling.

Dumfries and Galloway is the most south-westerly council area in Scotland, stretching from the English border at Gretna to the Mull of Galloway - the southernmost point in Scotland - and from the Solway Firth coast inland to the hills of the Southern Uplands.

Dumfries is the largest town and administrative centre, a handsome red sandstone burgh on the River Nith where Robert Burns spent the last years of his life and is buried in St Michael's Kirkyard.

The region divides naturally into three historic areas: Dumfriesshire to the east, Kirkcudbrightshire (the Stewartry) in the centre and Wigtownshire to the west - each with its own character, landscape and loyalties.

The Galloway coast and countryside have a mild climate influenced by the Gulf Stream, fertile farmland, dark-sky reserves and a string of small harbour towns that attract artists, writers and visitors drawn to the quiet and the landscape.

Despite its size, the region is one of the most sparsely populated in Scotland - a place where community is strong, the pace is slower and the landscape ranges from river valleys and rolling farmland to wild moorland and rocky coastline.
