The village of Dalton is a small settlement about 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Dumfries and 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Lockerbie, in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.

The village has an 18th-century church, one of its past ministers being The Rev. John W. Morris MA, who is buried near the southern boundary of the church. Several families have lived here for more than 150 years, including the: Byers, Bells (Almagill), Shuttleworths (Almagill), Carruthers (Dormont),[1] Murrays (Murraythwaite), and Steels (Kirkwood).
