Twynholm

Twynholm is a village in Kirkcudbrightshire in the Dumfries and Galloway region.

The village has a primary school, a farm shop and a petrol station and is located just off the A75 about eight miles west of the small town of Castle Douglas.

Shortly before Christmas in 2013 discovered the two treasure hunters Gus Paterson and Derek McLennan with the help of a metal detector in a field near Twynholm a treasure of at least 300 coming from the Middle Ages silver coins. This was the largest find of medieval silver coins ever made in Scotland.
