General Information

Lockerbie is located in the Lowlands of Scotland, United Kingdom and is the border town in Dumfries and Galloway on the main road and rail routes between Glasgow and Carlisle. Once home to the country’s largest lamb market, Lockerbie is a beautiful market town. Most of the town is built from red sandstone with the town hall standing out with its clock tower.

The most notable historical fact about Lockerbie is the disaster which occurred here in 1988 when the Pan Am Flight 103 crashed into the town after a terrorist bomb exploded on board. All the passengers as well as 11 people on the ground were killed in this massive tragedy. The Dryfesdale Cemetery on the outskirts of the town has a memorial garden that is a poignant tribute to the victims.

The high street is busy with many shops and restaurants with a vibrant and social atmosphere. View the restaurant and business directories for more information, or add your own free business listing.
