Eaglesfield

Eaglesfield

Eaglesfield is a small town in south east Dumfriesshire (Dumfries and Galloway), Scotland. It is not far from the English Border.

History

Eaglesfield is of ancient origin, and Blacket Tower is the former seat of an old Borders family.

Many of the buildings in the town are of recent construction, from the 19th and 20th century [http://www.cast.org.uk/D-J.htm] , and the town is a good example of a linear settlement, as most of it is in and around the one road.
