This website provides a few short photo tours of D&G towns and villages including Thornhill.

This is a copy of a map I drew for Dumfries & Galloway Family History Society - it shows the location of all the burial grounds around Thornhill. DGFHS www.dgfhs.org.uk have published MIs surveys of all of them.
