Dalgarnock, Dalgarno, Dalgarnoc [1] was an ancient parish and a once considerable sized village in the Nithsdale area of Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, south of Sanquhar and north of Dumfries that enclosed the parish of Closeburn but was annexed to Closeburn in 1606 following the Reformation, separated again in 1648 and finally re-united in 1697, as part of the process that established the Presbyterian Church of Scotland.[2] It was a burgh of regality bordering the River Nith and Cample Water and held a popular market-tryst or fair from medieval times until 1601[3] when the Earl of Queensberry had them transferred to Thornhill,[4] commemorated in song by Robert Burns,[5][6] shortly before its demise and now only a remote churchyard remains at a once busy site.
