Kirkcudbrightshire (Scottish Gaelic Siorrachd Chille Chuithbeirt) is one of the traditional counties of Scotland, located in the south of Scotland on the border with England. The administrative seat and namesake town was the town of Kirkcudbright. The county is also called the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright.
Prehistoric traces can be found in the Cairn of Park.
As an administrative county, Kirkcudbrightshire existed between 1890 and 1975 and then formed the District Stewartry of the Dumfries and Galloway region. The Dumfries and Galloway region became a Unitary Authority in 1996. Kirkcudbrightshire remains one of the Lieutenancy Areas of Scotland today.
