==History== Before the Plantation of Ulster, the area was known as Necarne or Nakerny; in Irish Na Caorthann (the rowans). The village was founded during the Plantation in 1618 by Sir Gerald Lowther and named Lowtherstown. Ownership later passed to the Irvines of Dumfries and the name changed accordingly.
