Auldgirth is a village on the A76 road in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Auldgirth village features 'The Auldgirth Inn', 'Auldgirth Stores' and the former Auldgirth Primary School. Originally inhabitants of Auldgirth located to the scheme, situated next to the A76, but in recent years this has expanded to the outlying areas due to rejuvinisation programmes. The name Auldgirth is generally agreed to come from the Scots 'Auld Girth' (Eng: Old Girth), because of the high level of horse and coach traffic it once experienced.
