Hi Marion
I have done some corrections on this page for you
Compass points should be expanded as should
Rev. [Reverend] and one other thing be careful of capitalization, if the scribe has done it you must transcribe as seen no matter how odd it looks to us in present day.
Your general transcribing is fine it's just the format that needs tweaking we're aiming for consistency.
Any queries just post on forum always someone about to help. Kate 22/6 |

067 |
A Cairn about 18 yards in diameter and about 9 feet high quite Conical in Shape and form from the base to the top. Situated on a small circular hill in a hollow from which there is Scarcely a view of two miles distance.
About halfway up on the North Side is a doorway formed of large Coarse irregular whinstone Rocks the entrance to the interior is just the Same as going down a well or Cellar with the roof before you as you descend, this cavity is at present filled up to the bottom of the door with the Same kind of Small Stone as compose the exterior, and apparently has never been Opened by any person.
its secluded Situation is I Suppose the chief cause of this. Situated in a lonely wild dreary Moor known to only a few ( a very few indeed) but those directly conected with the farm on which it is. From the appearance of the ground around this Cairn I am convinced that it is not a Druidical cairn as they differ from all the other Cairns and Barrows by their being usually fenced round the base with a circle of Stones, by their being approached along an Avenue of upright Stones and by their having each on its Summit a large flat Stone on which the Druid fires were lighted none of these marks are tracable around this.

BALMALLOCH CAIRN |
|
|
|
Neither is it a Barrow as they are usually composed of earth and are not so numerous in the north of Britain as the Cairns, by Comparing the present cairn with the descriptions that I have read of cairns, barrows and [cistvaens] it comes under the class of Sepulchral Cairns I think such as denote the field of ancient conflicts and are by far more numerous than any of the other class, they are generally found to contain a multiplicity of contents, I have not the least doubt but the opening of this would reward the Antiquarian for his trouble. History and tradition are [akin] Silent as regards this perfect Specimen of Antiquity. I have made every inquiry of the most respectable inhabitants in this neighbourhood whether there ever was found in its vicinity any fragments of Swords Bows arrowheads or flint axeheads etc. for all and each of these have been found adjacent to Sepulchral Cairns, but received no information whatsoever, but as I said before its Situation is the cause why it has never been excavated ___ it is on the farm of Balmolloch and about 600 yards north west of the farmhouse on the property of Hugh Hamilton Esqr.

[Situation] Near the Centre of the plan & about 61/2 chains N.E. [North East] of Knocky Skeaggy.
A Fresh Water Loch on the Boundary between the Parishes of Barr and Colmonell, half of which is in each parish, and equally belonging to Hugh Hamilton Esqr. Penmore, and the Episcopal fund of Scotland; it is about 300 yards long by 170 wide a part of it is very deep and affords Some fine Brown Trout. Mr Hamilton has a Boathouse built on his Own Side for the purpose of pleasuring and fishing. It receives no permanent stream but a small nameless one flows in an easterly direction out of it to join the Cammock Burn __ |

It seems very probable that this loch derives its name from two gaelic words - Feur, grass adjective Feurach, grassy and Loch a lake. We always find the banks of small fresh water lakes covered with fine pasture & Sometimes the Shallow parts, which have always a Muddy bottom, Almost hid with a long species of grass.

"This parish derives its name from the estate of Barr, & from which lands the Church and village are built. Barr both in the British and Celtic, means a summit or height."
"The parish is bounded by Dailly on the north, Straiton on the east, Colmonell and Kirkcudbrightshire on the South and Colmonell and Girvan on the west."
It is a wild, mountainous, moorland district. Four ridges of hills intersect the parish: two from the valley of the Stinchar; a third runs parallel, to the Southeast, shutting out the level country beyond, and the fourth runs in an opposite direction along the bank of the Minnoch and forms the commencement of that line of almost [mountainous] elevation which stretches [from] Ayrshire into Galloway.
