Its area corresponds to modern-day Galloway, Scotland.<ref>{{cite web|last=Skene|first=William Forbes|author-link=William Forbes Skene|date=1886|url=https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/71258/pg71258-images.html|title=Celtic Scotland: A History of Ancient Alban.

Galwyddel is believed to have maintained authority over the Isle of Man. Around 550, Galwyddel was invaded and annexed by the Kingdom of Rheged, under King Urien. The Galwyddel King, Senyllt, was forced to flee to Ynys Manau (Isle of Man).{{cn|date=February 2026}}
