Balmaclellan (Scottish Gaelic: Baile Mac-a-ghille-dhiolan,[1] meaning town of the MacLellans) is a small hillside village of stone houses with slate roofs in a fold of the Galloway hills in south-west Scotland. To the west, across the Ken River, the larger and more prosperous New Galloway lies below the Rhinns of Kells.
