[Situation] At S Wn [South Western] extremity of Dumfriesshire.
The Name of this Parish seems to be the cause of much
controversy and various imparts have been assigned thereto.-
The tradition of the locality is, that the name originated with
a certain British Poet called Lewarch Ogg who founded the original Fort or Castle during the 6th Century - the site of which is still pointed out on Ward Law. The Spelling adopted in an Old Scotch Ballad is quite in keeping with this tradition where Sir William Wallace addresses his faithful friend Sir John Graham previous to the taking of Lochmaben Castle
"I would Sailye giff ye think it may be
"Lowmaben house quhilk now is left allayne
"For weill Iwait power in it is lewt Mayne
"Carlaverock as yet, Maxwell has in hand"
The vernacular pronunciation is still mainly similar to the above. Antiquarians nevertheless maintain that Caerlaverock is the proper spelling, the prefic being the ancient British word for a fort should be spelt Caer according to Tacitus, but they are at variance with respect to the entire meaning of the name as Chalmers considers it to signify "the Castle with the rotundity jutting out" Whilst Baxter interprets it as "the Castle close upon the sea". - These definitions may be strictly correct in an antiquarian or classical point of view, but as the spelling of the prefice is contrary to documentary precedents, - which considered with the fact that the ancient British word for a fort assumes many forms in nomenclature- the views of Antiquarians cannot be deemed sufficient warranty for the adoption here of Caerlaverock. - Moreover, W.C. Maxwell Esquire the proprietor and present claimant of the Lordship of the Barony of Carlaverock states in a memorandum that "the Spelling adopted by Antiquarians is entirely a modern innovation, that Carlaverock "has been universally used for the last two or three centuries in all Charters and other Royal White "all other titles or papers connected with the Estate or County and that Caerlaverock has got into
"use from some antiquarians' views as to the deviation of the name from Caer a fort"
The Parish of Carlaverock is bounded on the North by that of Dumfries - on the East by Mouswald and Ruthwell in the County of Dumfries - on the South by the Low Water Channel of the Solway Firth - on the west by a part of Kirkcudbrightshire._ The Boundaries on the North are Centre of Road, root of hedge undefined and fence - on North East and East centreof wall, centre of Kelwood Burn and Lochan Water on the South? and on the West River Nith and its Channel se. There is no detached part of Carlaverock within the Boundaries of another Parish nor within its limits as above set forth a detached portion of any other Parish._ The landward part of this Parish in the form
of an elongated hill descending gradually to the Nith on the west and to Lochan Water on the East terminating at the South in the flat expanse of Sand called Blackshaw Bank towards the Solway. This portion is about 6 miles long and averages 2 miles broad and its Area was at the commencement of the present century carefully computed at 5,850 acres. of which Mr, Maxwell
owns 5,010, acres._ The state of cultivation may be 130 wood, 40 permanent pasture, 65 moss, 250 marsh and 5,365 cultivated. The average rent of land is £1.3.0 The Lands are well enclosed with stone |

Stone dikes and farm steadings are in general commodious. The middle and western part is hilly and attains an elevation of about 800 feet in that of Wardlaw, but like similar parts in Nithsdale the acclivity is so gentle that the whole admits of cultivation, - towards the East the land or surface is low and flat.- The high land is generally light, dry and fertile interspersed however with spots of wet, moorish and shallow soil.- The principal hill features are Ward Law and Bankend Hill which attain an elevation only of 600 to 800 feet.- The principal streams are the Nith and Lochaw which respectively form an estuary at S.W. [South West] and S.E. [South East] extremities Parish.- THe Nith is navigable for vessels of from 60 to 70 tons but ship of 300 tons occasionally sail up as far as Glencaple where they unload.- Salmon, Pike, Eel and flounder fisheries are carried on to some extent in the Nith by means of stake nets the entire proceeds from which scarcely amount to £150 annually. The Lochaw still retains its character in this Parish as a sluggish and almost stagnant Stream and its sinuosities here are perhaps more frequent and remarkable than at any other point of its course.- Several tiny tributaries also water the Parish. The Solway Frith washes this Parish on the South which stretching therefrom (that is the South point of the landward part of the Parish) to the Coast of Cumberland is 12 miles broad, but is fordable at low water and during very low tides - The whole expanse of land belonging to Caerlaverock and which is exposed by the reception of the tide is called the Blackshaw Bank.- The Solway Frith in connection with River Nith commences about 11/2 mile below Glencaple Quay from about which point the River Nith frequently shifts its Channel in its course to the Channel or low water of the Solway Frith. The manufacture of salt was for many years extensively carried on all along the Coast and the inhabitants being exempted from duty thereon, it was at one time a very considerable source of revenue to the Parish - it was however discontinued when the duty generally was taken off salt.- No manufacture whatever is carried on - Shipbuilding only to a small extent is carried on and two vessels of about 60 tons may be annually launched. No minerals are worked but it is asserted by engineers that Coal is abundant but at such a depth as to prevent the possibility of its being advantageously wrought. No Railway passes through the Parish but surveys have been recently made in connection it is supposed with the contemplated Portpatrick Line.- As the entire Parish lies upon a bed of Sandstone it has been quarried in several places.- There are no Turnpike Roads, but both the public and Parish afford excellent communications There is one Parish Church which was erected in 1781. to accommodate 470 sitters,- Situate near the foot of Parish it is inconvenient for many of the Parishioners and being unpaved within and damp is considered unwholesome consequently many of the adherents resort to the Dumfries Churches - The Stipend is £182.5.91/2. Patron Marquis of Queensberry. There is also one Parish School partly upheld by the Heritors but in great measure supported from the Bequest of the late Dr. [Doctor] Hutton first Physician to King William and Queen Mary who was a native of this Parish. The Salary is £35.0.0 with £40.0.0 from the Hutton bequest. It is called Huttonhall School or Academy and there is also a Boarding School connected with it.- There are also two other Schools endowed or rather supported entirely by the Hutton fund respectively at Bankend and Glencaple villages - A Free Church has been erected at Glencaple during the present it is a plain structure with a very small belfry.- There are two villages and ports Glencaple and Kelson, the former is modern & tidy, much resorted to by Dumfries denizens during the Summer as a bathing place.- It consists principally of a long row of houses stretching along the banks of the Nith for about 21 chains having a short Street near the North end which diverges towards the East. All the houses are in excellent repair in front of which are trim flower plots. The Quay or port projects about 31/2 chains into the River Nith at which vessels unload & at present it is in a somewhat dilapidated state. It is merely a subsidiary Port to that of Dumfries (and is merely) an accommodation for vessels that are unable from their burden to reach the Burgh,- In Glencaple are the Free Church, an endowed school, two public houses and a Sub Post Office.- Kelson is a hamlet situated about a mile north, part of which is within Dumfries Parish. It presents a wretched and dilapidated state and as a village and port must soon be numbered among the things that were. - In it is one Public house also a small Shipbuilding yard, but wherein a visiter to realize its pretensions would be taxed to Launch the imaginative germe to find a burthen for its stocks.- At Glencaple there is likewise a Shipbuilding yard wherefrom annually either one or two vessels are launched,- Bankend village is situate towards the East side of Parish and consists of one storey thatched houses in which is a sub. Post Office and an endowed School.- Parish Population about 1400.
+ The antiquities in this Parish are a Roman Camp on Ward Law which is supposed to belong to the period of Julius Agricola landing in Scotland a little south of which on the same elevation there is a British Camp in excellent preservation being boldly defined by two lines of entrenchments and which is believed coeval with the former, for Chalmers in his Caledonia remarks " it is here we see for the first time a Roman Camp opposed to a British hill fort."- "First time" evidently refers to circumstance that this was the first station occupied by Agricola after landing in Scotland.- Mr. Maxwell the proprietor of Caerlaverock states that a watch was kept in the British Fort during Feudal times hence arose the name Wardlaw, the feudal troops he says were also here mustered and probably; he adds, on the same ground where the Roman legions assembled more than a thousand years before.- The original Castle from which this Parish takes its name was of triangular formation and moated, remains of which are visible so recently as the commencement of this Century - the foundations still exist imbedded several feet in time-accumulated soil, but still no difficulty is felt in discerning the precise site and realizing its formation.- It is de Antiquario the Carbunterigum of Ptolemy.- The Castle of Caerlaverock the residence of the ancient family of Maxwell forms the grand attraction of this Parish.- It was long the seat and residence of the Lords of Maxwell Wardens of the Western March.. In 1296 Sir Herbert the Lord of this Castle is said to have sworn fealty to Edward 1 but that Monarch in person besieged and took it in 1300.. After various turns of fortune it was handsomely repaired in 1638 by Robert 1st. Earl of Nithsdale - two years subsequent thereto it was besieged and taken by the covenanted rebels under Lieutenant-colonel Home - from which period it apparently ceased to be an object of contest or residence as the Maxwell family transferred their habitation to the Tower, still existing on the Dale near the East side of the Parish,- Caerlaverock Castle is considered the finest specimen of castellated architecture in Scotland, and though in ruins is wonderfully entire It is built in the triangular form - the outer front wall is massive, the inner court two storeys of 120 feet on each side - contained a suit of apartments, in which may still be traced some very skilful sculptured work, - behind stood the great banqueting hall flanked by the large Tower, standing 90 feet along the base of the triangle.. It was originally surrounded by several fosses, one of which is still deep and wide.- Its date of foundation is uncertain. The ruins are now enclosed and preserved with great care by the present Proprietor. The Site of an Ancient Church or rather Chapel is still pointed out by locals and which was subordinate to the principal Church of Caerlaverock anterior to the Reformation - It was dedicated to St. Columba but whether attributed to Culdee origin or how instituted does not appear.- The Monks thereof however seem not to have been so fortunate as many of their brethren in sharing of the good things of this life for they seized upon a well close bye from which no one was permitted to drink without leaving a portion of victuals or in lieu thereof, a coin. Remains were visible at the end of last Century but have now entirely disappeared - The well still continues to send forth its pure waters.- The Site of an ancient Church called Kilblain is also shown at the N.E. [North East] side of Parish. It was originally the Parish Church of Kilblain part of which Parish was united to that of Caerlaverock immediately subsequent to the Reformation.- A Border Tower is situated towards the East point of Parish which is sometimes called improperly The Isle from the circumstance of the ground originally attached to it having been surrounded by Lochar water.- Here Robert second Earl of Nithsdale - sometimes called the philosopher lived and also died 1667. Two Moats exist which are similar to others in their features - the one called Bailie Knowe doubtlessly accommodated the Judicial Courts of the ancient Kilblain Parish as its situation is therein - The other is not far from Kelton which must be a very ancient village judging from present appearance. Its site was well chosen for the accommodation of the Baron Bailie who doubtlessly resided in Kelton - Entrenchments at the South end of Parish are believed to have been those of a Camp used during the Feudal period. But the form is peculiar - in fact they assume the shape more of what are termed Bow Butts,
* See Page 52.
+ This Roman Camp cannot be traced with accuracy until the crop of the field in which it is situated has been cut down |

[Situation] In Craig Wood. A single embankment in the form of a crescent, the ends of which abut on a declivity on Highmains hill. This is supposed to have been a camp, by the inhabitants of the locality, and in all probability it may have been so. The South and West sides were protected by an embankment, the remaining sides were protected by a steep declivity formed in part by a perpendicular cliff nearly 100 feet high, no artificial construction was necessary in consequence. The whole is now grown over with fir & beech trees. The embankment is well defined. |

Roman Camp |
Francis Maxwell Esqr.
The Old Statistical Account of Dumfries

[Situation] On Wardlaw Hill
The Remains of a Roman Camp on Wardlaw which is noticed by various authorities. The visible entrenchments measure from 16 to 20 Chains at their base and tho' [though] now much deffaced by cultivation attain a gradual rise of about 3 feet above the natural surface of the surrounding land. This Camp is about 10 Chains long and 8 broad, consequently, of those dimensions ascribed to the accommodation of a single legion without allies - a fact which it may not be amiss to observe confirms in some measure the supposition of antiquarians that it was the first Roman Camp constructed by Julius Agricola on entering upon his Campaigns in Scotland. Chalmers Caledonia remarks, " It is here we see for the first time a Roman Camp opposed to a British Fort." Some antiquarians suppose this the site of the Uxella of Ptolemy of which however in consequence of the many other locales assigned thereto, it would be assuming too much to characterise this Camp etc. as such on Plan. |

Hi Adobie,
Its Royal Sappers and Miners. If you look at the FAQs for the surveyors you will find names, ranks and regiments.
Kind Regards
Nora
Thanks Nora, I was obviously looking in the wrong place.
Also if you read your last newsletter it explains the problem we have with some of the group access. And you don't need to note the fact that there is writing in a different hand or colour of ink. Just the details is all we need.
Hope you are enjoying the change to OSNBs
Cheers

A large bay projecting from the Irish Sea Eastward between England and Scotland and washing the Parish of Carlaverock on the south and South-west at which latter point the River Nith forms a long and gradually expanding estuary between Dumfries-shire and Kirkcudbrightshire also Lochar Water at the S.E. [South East] point of Parish, forms a considerable estuary separating Carlaverock from Ruthwell Parish. The Solway Frith is said to measure 58 miles in length, 37 miles at its entrance and to have a maximum breadth of 19 miles and minimum of 8 miles. and a mean breadth of about 13 miles - it is chiefly remarkable for the peculiar phenomena of its tides. - Ordinary tides rise from 10 to 12 feet Spring tides to 20 feet. |

[Situation] Washing Carlaverock Parish on the South A large bay projecting from the Irish Sea Eastward between England and Scotland and washing the Parish of Carlaverock on the south and South-west at which latter point the River Nith forms a long and gradually expanding estuary between Dumfries-shire and Kirkcudbrightshire also Lochar Water at the S.E. [South East] point forms a considerable estuary separating Carlaverock from Ruthwell Parish. The Solway Frith is said to measure 58 miles in length, 37 miles at its entrance and to have a maximum breadth of 19 miles and minimum of 8 miles - and a mean breadth of about 13 miles - it is chiefly remarkable for the peculiar phenomena of its tides- Ordinary tides rise from 10 to 12 feet Spring tides to 20 feet.- |

[Situation] Forming and Tracing Nn. [Northern] Parish Boundary One of the principal rivers in the County of Dumfries, takes its rise in Ayrshire in the Parish of Dalmellington and runs Eastward into New Cumnock and enters the County off Dumfries at Carsoncone, near which the Glasgow and South Western Railway intersect the County and thence, running a winding course towards the South East receives in its passage many tributary streams as it passes by the town of Dumfries where it becomes navigable for small ships of 80, or 90, tons burden. About 2 1/2 miles below Dumfries it gradually expands into a small estuary, and between Burron point (sometimes called Carse point) in the Parish of Kirkbean and County of Kirkcudbright and Bow house Scar point in the parish of Carlaverock And near the venerable old ruins of Caerlaverock Castle it becomes lost in the Sands of the famous Solway Firth |

five miles below the point of the aforesaid begun expansion where it attains a breadth of 24 Miles after a course of 50 miles exclusive of some minor windings And curvilineal sinuosities The Solway tides flows up to the estuary of the Ri [River] Nith with prodigious rapidity particularly when impelled by a Strong South West wind, A loud noise indicates its approach; At Glencaple Old Quay the Scene is Singularly grand and imposing and it is beautiful to see the water advancing foam-crested and with a degree of velocity equal to the speed of a swift horse. The channel of the Nith through the Sands is very variable to its confluence with the Solway Firth, the Scenery along the banks of the Nith is truly charming and captivating. |

[Situation] Nearly 3 miles S.E. [South East] from Glencaple. A massive ruin having two conical towers attached, on the North side, built in a triangular shape, in imitation of the Ancient Shield apparently this memorable Old ruin was a place of Considerable Strength It was the Ancient seat of the family of Maxwell, some say as early as the time of King Malcolm Canmore, but of this many doubts exist Although some well authenticated works take on themselves to say so, among which is Fullarton's Gazetteer of Scotland but other Ancient works on this point are a Stronger evidence The date of its erection is uncertain but must have been about 1425 in the reign of James 1, from the appelation of Murdoch's Tower given to the round tower at the S.W. [South West] angle which it obtained from the circumstance of Murdoch, duke of Albany being confined in it that year and this is further corroborated by an ancient pedigree of the family of Maxwell. Some authorities and Books etc. say that this was besieged by Edward 1 which is doubtful but no doubt exists, but that he and 87 distinguished knights & 3000 chosen warriors besieged the castle in the wood about 300 yards S. [South] of this,

this castle according to Camden in his annals in the month of Aug 1570 was Ruined by the Earl of Sussex who was sent with an English Army to Support King James, V1. after the Murder of the Regent, also in his Britannica in 1607 calls it a weak house of the Barons of Maxwell, whence it is probable that only the fortifications of this castle were demolished by Sussex. It was repaired in 1638 as mentioned by some authors and taken in 1651 by Cromwell here the dates are different because no two authorities in writing agree *
The castle is surrounded by a wet ditch of considerable Magnitude. Car or Carr which signifies wet land and laverock a lark are the Correct components of the present orthograph and the place about is descriptive of car being wetish, "Caer" although used in many names seems not to be genuine, although Tacitus says ,caer,, is in fact: Vide Tacitus.

It appears that the word Frith in the name is doubtful as regards the orthograph. In the French language the word is written Frith that is Bras de mer, i.e an arm of the Sea. Detroit in the same, implies a Straight, or Frith Also in the Latin the word aestuarium, and fretum both of which means in that language a Frith or arm of the Sea, also all the English lexicographers write it Frith, consequently the correct mode may be Solway Frith.

Here formerly stood a moated triangular Castle which is generally allowed to have been founded as far back as the 6th. Century, supposed by Camden to have been the Carbantorigum of Ptolemy. Documents are yet extant wherein it is spoken of as the Chief Seat of the Maxwell family in the 11th. Century. Mr. F.

Authorities in mentioning this antiquity do not designate it as Carlaverock Castle. This probably in consequence of the many disputes which have arisen among antiquarians & as to the origin or the yet unsatisfactory conclusions of many knotty points anent thereto. Castle is therefore and also for distinction from Caerlaverock Castle adopted here. |

[Situation] About 3¾ miles S.E. [South East] from Glencaple. The inhabitants of the district suppose this to have been constructed as a Camp during the days of the Border feuds. In shape it appears to have been rhomboidal, it has a triple entrenchment on the South side; this side appears to been prolonged to Some distance towards the North West as is evident by the existence of a small detached portion in that direction; another detached portion is visible at the same distance from the Camp, but towards the South East, there is also the track of a ditch which possibly may have extended along the Southern face of the work. Doubtless this has been a military work, and from the magnitude of the existing remains, one of importance. The South Western face appears to have been the strongest from which it may be inferred that an enemy was expected to march upon the Camp from that point. |

This page, being signed by a Captain, [whose name I cannot decipher], and setting out the situations in detail, would seem to be the definitive description of the Solway Firth [or Frith], from which several other entries are copied. Blackshaw Bank, however, is described in different words and the cited authorities are different. |
