History of Ponteland
Ponteland’s proximity to Scotland means it was involved in conflict along the Anglo-Scottish border. Owing to the asymmetric north south line of the border, Ponteland lies north of important Scottish towns such as Gretna Green, Stranraer, and Kirkcudbright. Much of Dumfries & Galloway, one of Scotland’s border counties, lies south of Ponteland.
