Crocketford (Script error: No such module "IPA"., also frequently Script error: No such module "IPA".) also known as Ninemile Bar (Template:Langx), as it is approximately equidistant between Castle Douglas and Dumfries,[1] is a village in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire in the Dumfries and Galloway council area near the boundary between Scotland and England.[2] It is located on the A75 road around 9 miles (14 km) west of Dumfries. Crocketford is one of only two settlements that are not bypassed by the A75 along with Springholm, around 2 miles (3 km) to the south-west.
The Buchanites were the followers of Elspeth Buchan (1738-1791), who claimed to be the Woman Clad with the Sun from the Book of Revelation. After expulsion from Dumfriesshire they eventually settled at Newhouse in the village. A small burial ground at the property contained the remains of various members of the sect.[1]
