| MCDILL'S ISLE | McDill's Isle McDill's Isle McDill's Isle McDills Isle |
N. McDonald Johnn Gregg S Walker Johnston's County Map |
058 | A wooded islet in Loch Finals. The verdure of the little object is a pleasing relief from the oppressive monotony of rocky moorland. The individual whose name the island perpetuates is unknown to fame, indeed it is not improbable that "McDill" is some descriptive Gaelic word, so enturely corrupted as to defy all analysis |
| GARPEL BURN | Garpoll Burn Garpoll Burn Garpoll Burn Garpin Burn |
Neil McDonald Johnn Gregg S Walker Johnston's County Map |
058 | A broad stream which issues from Loch Finlas, and falls into Loch Doon. Garpoll is derived from Car a bend and Poll a pool, a name suggested by the crooked & sluggish nature of the stream. |
