Cally House, Gateshead-of-Fleet, from A75 by-pass, 1986. View NE from the A75 (Gretna - Dumfries - Stranraer) road on its by-pass of Gatehouse-of-Fleet. This must be Cally House, but seems somewhat more modest than the present Hotel.

Site of a Roman fortlet, Girthon. This fortlet was only discovered in the late 1940's by aerial photography. It has been excavated and re-covered so there is nothing visible from ground level.
