Galloway

"Galloway (en gaélico Gall-Ghàidhealaibh) es un área localizada al suroeste de Escocia. Normalmente, se refiere como Galloway a las provincias de Wigtonshire, históricamente conocida como West Galloway, (Galloway oeste), y Kirkcudbright, conocido como East Galloway (Galloway este)."

"Galloway (Gaelic: Gall-Ghàidhealaibh; Latin: Gallovidia) is a region in southwestern Scotland comprising the counties of Wigtown and Kirkcudbright. A native or inhabitant of Galloway is called a Gallovidian or a Galwegian. The place name Galloway is derived from the Gaelic i nGall Gaidhealaib ("amongst the Gall Gaidheil"). The Gall Gaidheil, literally meaning "Stranger-Gaidheil", originally referred to a population of mixed Scandinavian and Gaelic ethnicity that inhabited Galloway in the Middle Ages. Galloway is bounded by sea to the west and south, the Galloway Hills to the north, and the River Nith to the east; the border between Kirkcudbright and Wigtown shires is marked by the River Cree. The definition has, however, fluctuated greatly in size over history. A hardy breed of black, hornless cattle named Galloway cattle is native to the region, in addition to the more distinctive 'Belted Galloway' or 'Beltie'."
