Background
History
The village is named after Colin Lindsay, 3rd Earl of Balcarres (1652–1722), who gave the land on which it was built. Most of the houses lie along the main road running from east to west. The town hall, beside the school, dates to 1894. The Colinsburgh Galloway Library is on the main street in the middle of the village, open twice a week. The library has been used as the venue for concerts. The Charleton Estate to the west is based on an estate house first built in 1749, with various more recent alterations including the addition of Roman busts to the front wall. The estate has a fairly new golf course and a stables. <gallery widths=200px heights=170px> File:Main Street, Colinsburgh -…
