From the Gazetteer for Scotland:

"A village of The Glenkens in Dumfries and Galloway, St John's Town of Dalry overlooks the Water of Ken, 3 miles (5 km) north of New Galloway. Situated on an old pilgrimage route and named after the Knights of St John, a mediaeval settlement here was extended and developed as a planned village from the late 18th century by the Earl of Galloway. Its Town Hall dates from 1859. The Southern Upland Way passes through the churchyard of the Gothic-style Dalry Parish Church which was built in 1830-32. Two miles (3 km) to the north, on the east side of Earlston Loch, stands Earlston Castle, a former stronghold of the Gordons of Earlston."

St John's Town of Dalry was located in the parish of Dalry in the former County of Kirkcudbrightshire in southwest Scotland.
