This is a list of people who have served as Lord-Lieutenant of Kirkcudbright, part of the Dumfries and Galloway council area of south-west Scotland. Prior to 1975 the lieutenancy corresponded to the historic county of Kirkcudbrightshire. Since 1975 the lieutenancy area has been the slightly smaller Stewartry district, corresponding to the local government district of Stewartry established in 1975 and abolished in 1996.[1] From 1975 until 1996 the title was the "Lord-Lieutenant for Dumfries and Galloway Region (District of Stewartry)". In 1996 the title was changed to "Lord-Lieutenant for the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright".[2]
