Kelloholm is a village in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It has a primary school, a public house and several shops. Kelloholm lies next to Kirkconnel and the two have begun to merge. Kelloholm was originally constructed to serve the many mines in the area, all of which have now closed.
Kelloholm gets its name from the Kello Water and the village began to appear in the early 20th century.
Kelloholm is home to many street delinquents such as the KYT, KCS and KKKK and these delinquents often roam the streets at night. Police often have hard times due to these gangs and so there is often havoc among the townspeople.
Kelloholm is part of the Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale (UK Parliament constituency) and is represented by the Conservative MP David Mundell.
The A76 road runs through the area. Kelloholm is served by bus routes 221 and 246.
The area is served by Kirkconnel railway station on the Glasgow South Western Line.
