Annandale South is an electoral ward within the council area of Dumfries and Galloway in southern Scotland, occupying part of the scenic Annandale valley. It is largely rural, with rolling farmland, pockets of forestry and a river corridor that give the ward a strong sense of place and plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and other outdoor pursuits.
The local economy is centred on agriculture, small businesses and a modest amount of tourism, while village halls and community organisations remain important social hubs. The area bears traces of a long history - from medieval estates to 19th‑century transport links - which, combined with a traditionally minded community, shapes the character of the ward today.
