In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Kirtlebridge like this:
Kirtle-Bridge, a village in the SE corner of Middlebie parish, Dumfriesshire, on the right bank of Kirtle' Water. It has a station on the Caledonian railway at the junction of the Solway railway, 5½ miles NNE of Annan and 3¼ ESE of Ecclefechan, under which there is a post and railway telegraph office. Kirtle Established chapel, in Annan parish, near the village, was built at a cost of £500.
