Locharbriggs
It is located near the Lochar Water, 2.7 miles (4.3 km) north-northeast of the town of Dumfries.It was one of several villages that stood on the edge of the Lochar Moss which was largely reclaimed in the 19th century.The stone has also been exported further afield, including for the construction of the steps of the Statue of Liberty in New York.[3] The village's amenities include bus services, three local shops, a public house (the Lochar Inn), a social club, a Chinese takeaway, fish and chip shop, hairdressers, community centre, a library, and a primary school.Transport links from Locharbriggs to Dumfries often suffer during school holidays, when major works are routinely carried out on the main A701 trunk road.
