Duncow is a small settlement in the civil parish of Kirkmahoe, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Located in the geographical centre of the parish,[1] Duncow was a village in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries[2] and was formerly its most populous settlement. At the time the First Statistical Account of Scotland was written the village had between 150 and 200 residents.[1] By the time of the Third Statistical Account there were only five houses in the village.[1] It has had a school since at least the time of the New Statistical Account. The current school was opened in 1878 and has a roll of 24.[3] The village post office closed in 1952.[1]

The name Duncow, recorded as Duncol in 1250,[4] is of Celtic origin, representing either Cumbric dīn + coll[5] or Gaelic dùn-choll,[5] both meaning 'fort of hazels'.[6]
