Lockerbie's roots go back over a thousand years, to a period when Norse settlers were leaving their mark across this part of southern Scotland.
A name with Viking roots
Lockerbie has existed since at least around AD900, during the era of Viking influence in the region, and its name is derived from Old Norse. It's one of the clearer pieces of evidence for just how far Scandinavian settlement reached into Dumfriesshire.
Scotland's largest lamb market
Long before it was known for anything else, Lockerbie built its reputation on livestock — at its height, the town was home to Scotland's largest lamb market, reflecting the farming country that surrounds it.
