- Kingdom of the Rhinns
Na Renna, or the Kingdom of the Rhinns, was a
Norse-Gaelic lordship which appears in the 11th century records. TheRhinns ( _gd. Na Rannaibh) was a province in medieval Scotland, and comprised, along withFarines , the later county of Wigtown. The "Matyrology of Óengus " gives some idea of the kingdom's domain in the 11th century, as Dún Reichet (Dunragit ) and Futerna (Whithorn ) are said to lie in the kingdom, implying that it embraced the whole of later Wigtownshire.List of known rulers
