Kirkgunzeon
Kirkgunzeon is a village and parish in Kirkcudbrightshire, nine miles south-west of Dumfries. This place is supposed to have derived its name, anciently Kirkwynon, from the dedication of its church to St Wynnin and this opinion is corroborated by the name of a spring near it, which still retains the appellation of St Wynnin's well. The parish sits on the A711 road from Dumfries to Dalbeattie, with the village standing on a loop of minor road to the north of it.
In the reign of David Bruce, the church and lands belonged to the abbey of Holm Cultram in Cumberland.
