Tongland is a small village about 2 miles north of Kirkcudbright, south west Scotland.
It has a hydro-electric power station, part of the Galloway Hydro Electric Scheme, which is open to visitors during the summer months. There are also the remains of a ruined abbey and a church which is in a state of disrepair. Since 2004, there have been several construction projects, with the site of a former garage now home to two new houses. There is also one further new house being constructed.
Galloway cars were made by a largely female workforce in Tongland in a First World War factory in 1921 and 1922.
