Colvend and Southwick
54°52′16″N 3°46′08″W / 54.871°N 3.769°W
Colvend and Southwick is a community council area and civil parish within the Stewartry area of Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It is also part of the Church of Scotland parish of Colvend, Southwick and Kirkbean. It is in the historic county of Kirkcudbrightshire.
Colvend Church was designed by architect Peter MacGregor Chalmers in 1911.
Southwick Church designed by Peddie & Kinnear 1891.
Southwick House, C18th/19th mansion house, home of Sir Mark McTaggart-Stewart MP, Baronet (1834 -1923), MP for Wigtown Burghs from 1874–80 Kirkcudbrightshire between 1885 and 1910.
In 1846 the Civil Parish contained 1495 inhabitants, of whom 875 were in Colvend. The former of these places is supposed to have derived its name from John de Culwen, its proprietor in the fifteenth century, and the latter from the position of its ancient church, now in ruins, with reference to a small river which flows through the parish into Solway Firth.
After the dilapidation of the church of Southwick, that parish was annexed to Colvend, with which it has been united from the time of the Reformation.
The parish extended for about eight miles from north-east to south-west, and was partly bounded on the south-east by the Solway Firth. It was nearly four miles and the river Urr formed its south-western limit.
