| WESTRUTHER (Parish) | Westruther (Parish) | Continued [from page 5] The chapel of Bassendean, the ruins of which Still exist, to the height of ten or twelve feet from the ground, was employed, for religious purposes & served by a Vicar, long before the Reformation - The interior of the chapel is still used as a burial place by the family. There are Said to be the remains of a Roman Camp on the farm of Raecleugh, a little above Bruntaburn, & another in Harelaw Moor; but the Mounds are now so indistinct, & to have been So much injured by time & other causes, that it is impossible to judge with any accuracy, from their present appearance, whether or not they are to be considered as the Vestiges of a Roman encampment. A place in the Wedderlie Moors called Gibbs Cross where tradition affirms that a person suffered martyrdom for his attachment to the Protestant faith. There is no Tower in this parish with the exception of "Evelaw Tower" altho [although] there were several of them formerly. There is no portion of any other Parish within Westruther. |
