Crocketford
Crocketford (, also frequently ) also known as Ninemile Bar (), as it is approximately equidistant between Castle Douglas and Dumfries, is a village in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire in the Dumfries and Galloway council area near the boundary between Scotland and England. It is located on the A75 road around  west of Dumfries. Crocketford is one of only two settlements that are not bypassed by the A75 along with Springholm, around  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. References
