History of the Diocese
of Galloway, by William Turner, from The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume
VI, 1909, by Robert Appleton Company, Online Edition, by Kevin Knight, 1999 -
"...From an historical point of view, a singular interest attaches to this
diocese since it is certainly the most ancient ecclesiastical foundation in
Scotland, its founder and first bishop, St. Ninian,
being "the first authentic personages that meets us in the succession of
Scottish missionaries" (Belleshiem)...In 1909,
the diocese encompassed the southwestern Counties of Dumfries, Kirkcudbright,
and Wigtown and about four-fifths of the County of Ayr.
