{{Use dmy dates|date=November 2014}}{{Use British English|date=November 2014}}St. John's Town of Dalry, usually referred to simply as Dalry ({{IPA|/dæl'raɪ/}} / 'dal-RYE'), is a town in Dumfries and Galloway, in the historic county of Kirkcudbrightshire. It is located {{convert|16|mi}} from Castle Douglas along the A713 road, and is at the southern terminus of the A702 road (to Edinburgh). It is located on an old pilgrimage route to Whithorn and St Ninian's Cave and named after the Knights of St John.[1] The town was the centre of the 1666 Pentland Rising [2] The village is sited on a bend of the Water of Ken,[3] about {{convert|3|mi}} from the northern edge of Loch Ken.[4]

Parish Church (Church of Scotland ) of 1831 by William McCandlish approached via an avenue of lime trees said to have been planted in 1828.

Detached, at side of the kirk is the Gordon Aisle of 1546, the burial place of the Gordons of Lochinvar.

St. Johns Town makes a good base for exploring the surrounding region, the Southern Upland Way, and the nearby Galloway Hills, including the peaks of Corserine and Cairnsmore of Carsphairn. St. Johns Town of Dalry was recently named 'Bird Town', to celebrate the work of renowned bird artist and writer Donald Watson who lived in Dalry for many years.[5]
