Lockerbie is a small market town in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, lying on the main north–south transport corridor and served by Lockerbie railway station. It sits on the gentle Solway Plain with the Moffat Hills and the Solway Firth within easy reach, so countryside walking, birdwatching and access to nearby market towns and the city of Carlisle are popular draws.

Historically a railway and coaching stop that grew through Victorian times, the town’s economy is a mix of agriculture, local services and commuting, and it has a tight‑knit community spirit. Lockerbie is widely known for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 and the thoughtful memorials and annual remembrances that reflect the town’s resilience; locally there are also traditional shops, pubs and events that keep a strong sense of place.
