Unfortunately we could not come up with a definitive answer ourselves so we got in touch with the man who knows more about football in this area than any other, Ian Black, to see if he could come up with answers. Again Ian could not come up with any evidence but his theory is, it came from the town crest (pictured) which features three stars. The two birds in the crest are very similar to the ones incorporated in the original Dalbeattie Star badge. However if you know any differently then please let us know.
