Corsock

Corsock (Scottish Gaelic: Corsag) is a village in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire, Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland. It is located 8 miles (13 km) north of Castle Douglas, and the same distance east of New Galloway, on the Urr Water.

Corsock House is an 18th-century country house remodelled by David Bryce in 1853. A later addition was made by Charles Stuart Still Johnston in 1910. The gardens are open to the public under the Scotland's Garden Scheme each Spring.

Corsock Church was built as a Free Church in 1851-52 by local architect William McCandlish. It was extended in 1912 with a Gothic stone arch and chancel by J.A. McGregor.
