Clachanmore is a village in the South Rhins of Galloway near Ardwell in the south west of Scotland. It has also been known as Low Ardwell.[1]
The name of the village means 'big village' (Clachan Mòr, in Gaelic) and may derive from a stone circle that formerly stood there;[2] there are remains of a circular enclosure on Barrack Knowe near High Clachanmore farmhouse.[3] Clachanmore school is the most prominent building in the village. The building dates to 1831[4] and was the school for Ardwell. There is a small schoolmaster's house next door. Until 2003 it was an art gallery; it is now a private house.
