In 1901 a Mr T Hough came to New Galloway on a fishing holiday,
but he loved the area so much that he stayed for most of the rest of his life.
He died in 1916 and was buried in Kells churchyard.
He was an enthusiastic bird watcher and
keen observer and recorder of their habits.
(DGNHAS, 1918-19, series III, Volume VI)
