Kirkpatrick-Fleming is a village and parish in south-eastern Dumfriesshire. It is located around 3½ miles north-west of Gretna, and five miles west of Annan, between the Kirtle Water and the A74(M) motorway.
The name is derived from the parish church, dedicated to St Patrick, and the Fleming family, the local landowners who resided at Redhall.[1] The mediæval parish church was given to Gisborough Priory in Yorkshire by Robert de Brus, Lord of Annandale, around 1170, though this connection lapsed after 1330.[1] The present church dates to the 18th century and is protected as a category B listed building.[2]
The village was served by Kirkpatrick railway station on the old Caledonian Railway main line from 1847 to 1960.
