[Situation] In the S.W. [South West] Corner of the County of Dumfries
The name of this Parish was originally written Dunfres, derived , As is Supposed from the Gaelic Dun - a Mount, and Phraes brushwood or furze,- Construed "A rising "ground Covered with Furze."- The derivative is Considered appropriate from the fact, that the Soil is of that light Sandy nature, which, during the forest period of Scotland was unlikely to bear indigenous trees of a size larger than Copsewood and which in its uncultivated State Still abounds with whins and brushwood.-
There is no detached portion of Dumfries Parish situate within the Boundaries of another Parish, - nor a detached part of any Parish within Dumfries Parish Boundary.
The Parish of Dumfries lying in the South of the district called Nithsdale And S.W. Corner of the County of Dumfries is bounded on the N.W. [North West] by the Parish of Kirkmahoe, on the N.E. [North East] by that of Tinwald, on the East by Torthorwald, on the South by Carlaverock And on the W. [West] by the River Nith which divides it from Kirkcudbrightshire and Holywood parish. - It is about 8 miles in extreme length, in Average breadth about 2½ Miles, - According to Statistics the Area is Computed at about 9,280 acres by other Authorities at 15 Square Miles which would give 9,600 Impl. [Imperial] Acres.- The Soil varies; As in N. [North] and N.W. [North West] Sections it is a reddish earth upon a freestone bottom, in the S.W. [South West] it is a Strong clay And in flat lands a Clay upon gravel. The entire [continued on next page] |

Parish may be Considered Capable of profitable Cultivation; the existing State of the land however may be Classified as 8,400 acres in tillage about 300 Acres in plantation &c. And 900. Acres forming part of the Morass called Lochar Moss.- The Average rent of land is 35/ [shillings] [£1.15.0] but in the vicinity of the town it varies from £4 to £6. per Acre. - The rental of land may be estimated at £10,000 And that of the Burgh at £22,000. making a total rental of £32,000.for the Parish.- The district has rapidly advanced through agricultural improvement and within the last 40 years the land has thereby been enhanced to 1/3.- The approved system in the Management of land is, what is termed a 5 or 6 years shift, that is a regulated rotation of crops vizt. in the 1st. year Oats, 2nd. Turnips or potatoes, 3rd. wheat or barley 4th. hay, 5th. and 6th. Pasture. - Very few Sheep are bred, but great improvements have lately been made in rearing Galloway Cattle.- Farm buildings as a whole are very indifferent for Comfort And Accommodation And not quite in Keeping with the advanced Culture of the land which must only be Accounted for from the Strictures of entail.- The landed Proprietors number 35, Those of the Burgh about 50. - The Surface is almost level, if we except the Site of the Burgh And a low ridge of hills, which, Stretching in a line nearly parallel with the Nith to Carlaverock, - are sloping and of gentle Acclivity towards the N.W., [North West] but at a point towards the N.E. [North East] - Suddenly breaking down in abrupt declivities, - they under the Name of Maidenbower Craigs present a Commanding and very picturesque outline. Plantations of Oak, elm and other trees are of frequent Occurrence and in every direction there are inclosures Surrounded with trees, also gardens And nursery grounds, big lawns and pleasant Mansion, all which when viewed along with the natural attractions of the district, at once impress a Stranger with ideas of refinement and comfort. - The brown wastes of Lochar Moss towards the E. [East] and N.E. [North East] mar to Some extent the beauty of the landscape, And it is for the want of unanimity of Proprietors to the proper drainage of Lochar Water that this waste exists, for it has been proved to be entirely Capable of Cultivation, were a proper Channel cut for the waters of the stagnant and vegetating Lochar. - The Parish is watered by the Nith and Lochar. There is a Small loch called Auchencrieff Loch; but there formerly existed others Vizt Sand, Black and Gill Lochs, all of which however have been drained And are now partially cultivated with profit. - The Names still apply to their Sites. - As previously noticed the district is level, but the acclivities to the North of the burgh through brief contribute largely to the generally beautiful landscapes of the district, - the most noticeable is that of Clumpton, said to been at some remote period a mountain-grove and haunt of the Druids, and at a later period to have served the purposes of a beacon post. To the South of the Town or rather S.E. [South East] there is the the Eminence sometimes called Trohoughton more generally Known as Camp Hill on which there are traces of a Camp which is believed to have been of Roman Construction. - Pennant notices it as such. - About a miles to the N.E. [North East] of Camp Hill are the Maidenbower Craigs above noticed in which there is a remarkable Cavity of which several local traditions exists and now serving the means whereby Dumfriesians indulge in a vulgar freaK. - It is also said [Continued] |

to have been the Scene of Druidical rites for the testing of Virginity. - There are however neither facts nor remains extant to justify the Conclusion of its Association with the Druids. The Cavity Seems to have been formed by a fall of a fragment of the rocK, leaving a Canopy of Stone stretching overhead, while a portion of the broken mass rests upon the brink of the ledge that forms the floor. - Several Springs in the vicinity of Lochar Moss are impregnated with Steel but being little cared for they have little or no repute. The villages are Gasstoun, Lochbriggs, Georgetown And Kelton all of minor importance and with the exception of the first which is tolerable, are more AKin to Squalid hamlets. The Parish is intersected in all directions by well macadamised roads, and has benefited greatly by the introduction of the railway called the Glasgow And South-Western opened in 1849.-50-51, - a portion of which traverses Lochar Moss by An embanKment Constructed by the SinKing of huge piles of wood, as the means of Consolidation,= it enters this Parish to the N.W. [North West] of the Burgh by a Bridge Across the Nith Constructed At An expense of upwards of £8,000 greatly impeded however in its progressive building by the flooding of the River. - The Station to the N.E. [North East] of the Burgh has but inferior accommodation both for passengers and goods, but the inhabitants are now strenuously endeavouring to impress upon the Company the necessity of its enlargement to meet the demands of a rapidly increasing traffic &c. A Company embryo suggest a line to Lockerbie in Connection with the Caledonian Railway for which Proprietors and Traders are now readily Subscribing and which Scheme would detract most Seriously the traffic of the Glasgow & S.W. [South West] Rail: [Railway] The Subscribed Capital [Per] Act is now up for the introduction of a line from Dumfries to Kirkcudbright &c. The Navigation of the Nith has been much improved And vessels from 50 to 60 tons Can now with facility reach the Burgh. - The traffic being mainly Coal and other mineral produce, the profits, - Since the introduction of the Railway, - barely remunerate importers. - The Ports more immediately Connected with the Parish are on the decline; the district being entirely agricultural, it is as a Mart that Dumfries most prominently figures. - Four fairs are Annually held within the Burgh at which business has been transacted to upwards of £30000 in one day. There is also a weeKly Market on Wednesdays, resembling rather a fair than a hebdomadal occurrence, At which in the Sale of Pork alone, transactions to the amount of £5000 are not uncommonly effected. Messrs Scott conduct to a considerable extent the manufactures of Cloth and Stockings in which 300 persons procure employ. Tanneries also exist to Some extent but are now Somewhat on the decline. The Building of Coasting vessels is carried on to a limited extent at Kelton. - The Public Institutions with the exception of the Chrichton Royal Institution and S.C. [Southern Counties] Asylum are within the Burgh [Continued] |

(See Dumfries). Two Stone Bridges Connect the Burgh with Maxwelltown called The Old Bridge and The New Bridge, the former constructed in the 13th Centy. [Century] is now used merely for foot passengers, the other, is a handsome Stone Structure of 5 Arches, at which there is a toll, the Customs levied on Cattle alone having been Known to exceed £700 [Per] Annum. - The district Commands all advantages for building purposes and these are 4 freestone quarries worKed at an annual outlay of about £1200. - There are three Parochial Schools and 40 private ones, in some of which the higher branches are taught. - There are two Parish Churches and a Quoad Sacra one, besides numerous Chapels belonging to different denominations All within the Burgh. The various Antiquities - with the exception of a Roman Camp on Camp Hill occur within the Burgh and have been Sufficiently noticed in the description of the Town. |

Authorities differ as to the Source of this Stream, some stating
it as rising in the Parish of KirKmahoe And others in the Parish
of Tinwald. - The Stream in KirKmahoe has been recognised as
Park Burn And as such is shewn on Plans and SKetch Maps as
tracing the boundary between that Parish and Tinwald, the latter
Stream in Tinwald is well Known in the locality by the name of
Amisfield Burn, - and as the great majority of the people in the district
State, - Lochar Water (proper) is only formed by the Confluence
of these two Streams near Lochar Briggs. - The only definite
authority which I can find is in the following quotations written by the
Minister in his Statistical Acc: [Account] of Parish of Tinwald "The Lochar commences near a
"small Village upon the Edinburgh Road called Jericho, where two rivulets of nearly the
"Same Size (the one forming for a Considerable space the western boundary of the Parish)
"join together, And afterwards Assume that name.- It separates the Parishes of Dumfries "
and Tinwald so far as they lie Contiguous."

A Royal Burgh, the Capital of the County of Dumfries and the acKnowledged Metropolis of the S.W. [South West] quarter of Scotland, which is the Seat of a Circuit Court, of a Presbytery and of a Synod. The Municipal government of the Burgh is vested in a Provost, three Bailies, a Dean of Guild, a Treasurer, nineteen Merchant Councillors Constituted according to the Reform Act. - The Town in divided into four Wards which elect the Town Councillors and Commissioners of Police - The Wards are not named but numbered 1.2.3 & 4 The Town Stands on Slightly elevated ground on the East bank of the River Nith and is joined to the Small burgh of Maxweltown by two bridges so that the latter may be considered a Suburb of the former or the two as forming one town. The population of the burgh was in 1851. 13,179. The Town enjoys the advantage of a considerable thoroughfare being the direct line of Communication between the North of Ireland [via Port Patrick] and London. It has two good principal Inns and several Taverns as also a Considerable number of public houses for the Sale of spirituous liquors. The Glasgow and South Western Railway opened in 1850 a Communication between this Town with Carlisle London Glasgow and Edinburgh. - The public buildings are of a tollerably good class and in keeping with the general appearance of the Town. There are two handsome Churches for the reception of the Parochial Congregations belonging to the Established Church and Quoad Sacra Chapel besides several handsome Churches or Chapels belonging to other denominations of religionists. - There are also several handsome [continued over on page 52] |

handsome public buildings which Are well worthy of notice [see description of each]. - The MarKet places are well situated and Commodious The Fair's And Cattle Markets are of great note for the extent of business done. Establishments for education are numerous in Some of which the rudimentary branches of the Classics &c are taught. The principal import trade is that which Supplies the Surrounding district with necessaries. There are Some Manufactories carried on, the principal of which is hosiery much of which is exported to England and other places as also tanneries which of late years have delined. The Navigation of the Nith has been Considerably improved of late at great expense. - There are Commodious Quays Constructed along the river four of which are within the compass of 5 miles.-
The Situation of Dumfries as a border town renders it of note in history As being Connected with the Border Wars And other events. Of its Antiquities the old Bridge is remarKable. Dumfries Castle was of considerable Note but no vestige at present remains of this fortress. - The New WarK which Stood in the Centre of the Town Served in Subsequent times as a Castle or place of Strength. Tradition and History record several Churches and Chapels belonging to this Town of which no vestige remains In the Friars Vennel Stood the Greyfriars Monastery and Church. - on the Site of the present St. Michael's Church Stood the original St. Michael's Chapel on the Site of the present St. Marys stood St. Christopher's Chapel. - A Chapel was also Attached to the Castle. - There was a Chapel familiarly called "St. Allan's on the Brae" which Stood in St. Michael Street somewhere near St. Allan's Wells. - This Chapel is Considered by some to have been a Small Chapel attached to an old house which Stood here until late years and was called the Bishops Lodging from its being the temporary residence of the Bishop of the Diocese in past ages. - There was also a small Chapel attached to a small Nunnery or Convent which Stood Somewhere in the Street called Chapel Street. The Chapel and Convent were dedicated to St. Nicholas. - The Convent as Tradition states was Supported by the Ladies of the house of Lord Herries. There was also "St. Thomas' Chapel in the Deanery" [see descriptive remarK for this]. - Thus within the Burgh or its Suburbs there were seven Chapels or Churches before the reformation. - The Site of two of these Chapels Cannot now be pointed out although tradition records their existence these are St. Allan's and St. Nicholas' together with the Nunnery attached to the latter although every enquiry and effort were made to ascertain their Site. Dumfries unites with Annan, Sanquhar, Lochmaben and KirKcudbright in sending a Member to Parliament. |

[situation] On the N.W. [North West] side of Church Crescent.
The Site of an Ancient Castle which Stood on the ground on which the New Church is built. Neither record nor tradition exists to tell when it was built, but history records it as a place of importance during the 12th Century And during the times of Succession wars. - It appears to have undergone some alterations and repairs from time to time. It also appears by Some records that King Edward of England made some additions and alterations to it. From a rough Sketch taken by an Old man now in Dumfries from an original drawing it appears to have been a large building - Attached to it was a Chapel, and it was surrounded by a Strong wall which enclosed a Considerable Extent of ground. It enclosed the Area upon which Church Crescent, Irving Street and part of George Street and Castle Street now stand. An intelligent man about 70 years of age named John McCormack remembers to have seen part of the above walls standing before Castle Street was formed and can from recollection and tradition point out nearly the whole extent of the site of the above wall. In Chalmers Caledonia Vol.3. Page 135 is the following Notice "There was a Castle here which was called the Old Castle even before the Age of William the Lion. This Castle was allowed to fall into ruins and a new Castle was built nearly on the Same Site. - Standing thus near a Conterminous border, the Castle of Dumfries became an object of frequent contest during the Succession Wars. - During the Contest for the Crown, this Castle was put into the interested hands of Edward I. When this Arbitrator awarded the Crown to John Baliol, he ordered this Castle to be put into the possession of this defendant Monarch. - When Edward I dethroned Baliol, he tooK possession of Dumfries Castle as devolved to him as Sovereign Lord. - He repaired and strengthened this Castle in which he placed a Garrison which he amply supplied with provisions. - When Robert Bruce slew John Comyn in Greyfriars Church on the 10th of February 1305-6, he immediately seized the Castle and drove away the English Justiciaries, who were then sitting in Dumfries. The Castle was afterwards taken by the English who held it in 1309 - 1311. Bruce retook it July 1312. |

The Site of an Ancient Castle which had been once the Stronghold of the Cummin's family No track or vestige now remains to identify the Spot on which it Stood except the Moat or ditch which defended it . Mr. Hepburn proprietor of the ground points out the place Called castle Hull which tradition records as being the Site of the Castle. The ditch or Moat which defended it is pretty entire on East And South Sides.- It has been partly defaced on the other Sides, - what remains of it is very deep and wide, water Still remains in part of it no doubt it had been much deeper originally. On the Map of Nithsdale in Blains Atlas published 1662 it is called Castle Dyiks And shewn As a fortified Castle yet there is reason to believe that no part of the castle had been Standing at that time although Shewn as a Complete Castle by Blair as had there been a castle at that time the name would not be Castle DyKe, therefore there is reason to think that there were no remains but the fortifications which Surrounded the Castle As the Name Castle DyKes would seem to impart |
