Langholm is a small market town in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, sitting in the valley of the River Esk at the edge of the Southern Uplands. Surrounded by rolling hills and moorland, it grew up around sheep farming and a once-thriving textile industry, the remnants of which still shape the town’s streets and character.
The town is known for its strong community spirit and traditions, notably the annual Common Riding, and for conservation work around Langholm Moor and the river. With a local museum, independent shops and active volunteer groups, Langholm combines rural scenery with a resilient civic life following the decline of its traditional industries.
