The name of this Parish was up to the 16th Century written Glencarn and Glencarne which in the Gaelic signifies the Glen of or with the Pile. At a short distance S.S.E. pf Minnyhive on the Galloway turnpike road there is a large Cairn of Stones, which being situated about the commencement of the valley of the Cairn Water, it is not unlikely that this Parish derived its name therefrom. The now dormant Title of the Earl of Glencairn was taken from this Parish. |

GLENCAIRN: Towards the N.W. end of the County of Dumfries. The Parish of Glencairn is bounded on the North by that of Tynron, on the East by Keir, on the South by Dunscore, and on the West by Balmaclellan and Dalry in Kirkcudbrightshire. Its Boundaries may be thus detailed - on the North, undefined and centre of wall, - on the East, centre of wall, centre of stream, centre of wall, centre of stream, centre of bank, undefined centre of bank, centre track of stream, centre of stream, undefined, centre of old course of stream, centre of Cairn Water, - on the South, centre of stream, track of fence, undefined, centre of wall, top of wall, undefined, centre of wall, centre of stream, centre track of wall centre of stream, undefined, track of stream, centre of wall, Loch Urr, centre of stream, centre of Pointfoot Burn, centre of wall centre of Castlefern Water, track of wall, centre of wall, undefined, centre of wall. centre and centre track of Castlefern Water, - and on the West, centre of wall, undefined, centre of Roman Road, and undefined. There is no detached portion of Glencairn within the Boundaries of another Parish, nor within the Boundaries above detailed a detached part of any other Parish. Its shape is nearly rectangular. Its length is about 14 1/2 miles and average breadth about 3 1/2 miles and its area has been variously computed by Statistics at 52 1/2 miles or 33,600 acres and 44 miles or 28,160 acres the correct area however may be about 30,240 acres, of which 8,000 acres may be arable, 1,000 wood, and the remainder 21,240 Pasture or hill land. The lands in general are well enclosed by whinstone dikes and farm steadings sufficient. The reclaiming and improvement of the land is intensively carried out by several Proprietors - the reclaimable land my be about 1200 acres which is generally high and covered with heath. There are several ranges of hills most of which run from West to East - those in the upper district are mostly covered with heath. Towards the north and north west , the hills in general attain an altitude of from 1200 1600 feet. Bail Hill on the N.E'n Parish boundary rises to a height of nearly 2,000 or 1800 feet. In other parts the elevations are seldom beyond 600 or 700 feet, which afford excellent green pasture. Loch Urr a lake measuring 3 miles in circumstances is partly within this Parish. The streams are numerous, the most important of which are Dalwhat, Craigdarroch and Castlefern Waters which take their rise on the heights towards...[cont'd next page, DF] |

...West and North West, run each for about 7 miles and at a point about 1/2 mile South from Moniave form by their united Waters that of the Cairn - a considerable stream which during heavy rains is subject to overflow and not withstanding the many improvements on its embankments frequently causes great damage. There are three valleys in the upper district extending respectively to about 6 miles in length all of which converge on the village of Moniave, from which point another of greater breadth (the Vale of Cairn Water) traverses the remaining length of this Parish, about 7 miles. A Turnpike road enters the Parish about 1 mile N.E. from Moniave, extending to which village two lines respectively to Ayr and Galloway diverge therefrom. There is no Railway but a single line in connection with the Glasgow and South Western Railway is presently agitated by several of the Proprietors . Attempts have been made to work Slate quarries, which were unsuccessful from the slate proving of too soft a nature. No minerals are worked though coal and lead have been satisfactorily shown to exist in several localities. There are three villages Moniave Dunreggan and Kirkland. The two former situate a little Eastward from the centre of the Parish are connected by a bridge and lie compactly together on the Dalwhat Water but which are now considered conjointly to form Moniave, a village which consists principally of one street in the form of a crescent running from East to West, having two projecting lines near its centre extending S.W. and S. and another near its Eastern extremity running S.E.. With the exception of a few two storeyed houses near its centre, the houses are in general only one storey high - all in tolerable repair. In it are an United Presbyterian Church, a Parish School, two branch Banks, a Public Hall, Post Office an ancient market Cross, several large Grocery and Drapery shops and a Woolen Mill in which a great part of the population find employment. The population is about 1,000. A Charter was granted about 1638, constituting this village a Burgh of Barony with power to hold a weekly market. There are three fairs held in it for the purpose of hiring servants and a market for lambs was established in 1835, the latter however has not been successful as it is only occasionally that this market is held. Kirkland situate 1 3/4 mile East from Moniave is principally composed of a few old thatched houses, the population of which is about 100. In it is the Parish Church, a handsome structure erected in 1837 and which has accommodation for about 1500 sitters, a little to the East is also the parochial manse said to be inferior to none in Dumfriesshire both for design and accommodation . There are two Parish schools. Population of Parish 2,100. The principal Mansions are Maxwelton and Craigdarroch. Little information respecting the antiquities in this Parish can be gained. A Road sometimes called the Cadgers' Road at the N.W. extremity of Parish is believed by people in the locality to be the Roman Road and is evidently that referred to in the History of Galloway Page 72. About 4 1/2 miles S.E. therefrom there are distinct traces of an entrenchment which notwithstanding the circular tendency thereof is represented in the district as that of a Roman Camp, but is not adverted to by Statistical or other authority. Near the village of Moniave an immense Cairn may be easily distinguished. It is said to be the particular object from which this Parish takes name and consequently must be of a very ancient date, probably that of the Scots-Irish, as the original name of this Parish Glencarne would imply. In Moniave there is an ancient Market Cross dated 1638 supposed to have been the period when that village was constituted a Burgh of Barony. About 3/4 mile E. from Moniave there is a mound stated to have been the site of a Tower which may be confirmed by the name it presently bears of The Peel. About 1 1/2 mile S.E. by E. from Moniave on the lands of Ingleston there is an immense Mound apparently of earth alone, which is considered to be the most perfect Moat existing in Scotland. It is sometimes called Bow Butts - It is considered by the best Authorities however to have been the ancient seat of the Lord of the Barony and his retinue, the place for the Judges, that of the target and of the Competitors and as such has been termed Moat and Bow Butts. From its gigantic proportions, it seems erroneous to suppose that this mound could have been raised on a plain, for at the period of its construction - 1000 years ago - the entire population for a circuit of many miles could not have executed the work especially when the very defective state of employing horses and wheels is considered. There are several Knolls in the vicinity which might with facility be cut to the same shape. About 1 1/2 immediately to the East. there is a large circular mound supposed by some to have been a Camp, the features of which however are in no way confirmatory - see Page 147. About 1 1/4 mile S.E therefrom there are the vestiges of a Tower - and about 1 1/3 mile farther S.E. a Cairn is pointed out as the retreat (place of execution or internment?) of the Covenanters. About 1 mile South of this Cairn a Mound is pointed as a supposed Moat and about 1 1/2 mile W. therefrom remains of walls stated to be those of a Castle may still be traced. Near the centre of the Parish about 3/4 mile S.W. from Moniave the site of an ancient Chapel has been shown and which Chapel is stated by the Authorities to have been dedicated to St. Cuthbert (see Page 113). In the present Churchyard the Gable ends of the Parish Church which was in use up to 1837 are still standing. Two ancient stones are pointed to marking the spots where several of the Covenanters were shot during the persecution - these are situated about 3/4 mile S.E. from Moniave. |

Examining this, it appears to be old track of road Artificially made, & having a hard base with several small stones in the pavement of its surface, I inquired to know it there was any Tradition respecting it and was informed that it was an old Cadger, or Smuggling road, others said it was a roman road. It may the site of a Celtic Dike after the stones and earth being taken away.
History states that the Celtic Dike from Stranraer passes through the uplands of Galloway to Afton heights down through Nithsdale on the South side of the River & on to Carlisle. |

Hello Derek
I have just had a look at your previous page [20] and done some corrections for you.
Please remember to transcribe the handwritten information in the Header. [BUT the whole 'book' is Parish of Glencairn!]
This surveyor seems to enjoy throwing in capital letters in odd places but we must transcribe what we see.
Hope this helps you to go forward.

Hi Derek
Many thanks for going back and making these corrections. It really helps the moderation process when transcribers take the time to correct their own work.
As moderators we don't make the rules we just try our best to keep transcribers within the bounds of approved transcription practice as set out by Scotlands Places.
Remember if there is anything you're not sure about you can always post in the forums, always someone about to help.
Many thanks again and happy transcribing. Kate
VERY sorry for this, this is the first time that you've 'pulled' me up about the dittos issue which in my opinion has never been clear - it's clearer now! I'll go over the pages I've already done for this volume & sort them & make sure I get my 'dittos' sorted in future. As far as I can see I;ve now accounted for the dittos in this volume, on the pages that are not locked, DFF 18/05/14 |

Note to moderator: I have worked backwards through this volume to reach this page.
Before starting, I downloaded the images for the entire volume to allow quick comparison of words and handwriting when I am having difficulty making out words. I always double check what I have transcribed before marking complete and I save to a text file as I go. Apologies if some mistakes have still slipped through, or if I have consistently capitalised incorrectly.
When capitalisation is not obvious, I have tried to allow for the first letter of a word usually being written larger (especially if it is the first word of a line) and I have compared it in size to words on the same line and same paragraph (and sometimes between pages), as well as looked for any stylistic differences in how letters like e.g. 's' have been written when capitalised by that writer elsewhere. However, some writers are so inconsistent. I have always tried to transcribe what I see, rather than what I expect to see and e.g. just applying capitals to all names. 'm' in particular is a problem (Morrine, Mc...) - see e.g. p.38 where 'm' (monnyhive, morrine) is written stylistically by Munro the same way when used in names as how he has written it in 'miles', with only a small difference in height to the following letter. |

check Shielddykes & Hill - Descriptive Remarks - Corrodow seems to be written 'Corredow'. It was also written with this spelling on p41 and corrected to 'Corrodow'
Blaeberry Craig - Descriptive Remarks - the last word of line 2 is not clear. Possibilities I have considered are coarse, land, sand, wood, covered, but none of these really fit - individually the letters look most like 'coand' On p.40 there are examples of land and Land by the same hand for comparison. I think covered is the most likely in this context - perhaps 'coverd' is what is actually written, although the 've' part of that word is certainly not clear. |

NB: Descriptive Remarks - a previous transcriber has written 'Fernhead' (Burn) on p.24 and 27. Compare the way Munro writes his 'F' in 'Farmhouse' in the Drumloff entry and 'K' in e.g. (Upper) 'Kirkcudbright' p.163, or 'Knowe' on p30 or 32. Unfortunately, there doesn't seen to be any other entries for Kernhead (or Kirnhead) or Fernhead in SP and I can't find these names on the maps |

[Situation] 6⅔ miles N W [North West] by W [West] from Minnyhive
A large projecting mass of Rocks on the brow of a great height which forms the Summit of a high district of rocky mountain grass land.
The termination learan in this name is very descriptive of the nature of the land that is lea, (grass land enclosed,) and .ran, which should be .rand. which Signifies a narrow stripe, border, Seam, or [even] a stripe of any thing whatever, from this it would appear that the name should be written Craiglearand Craig ,
Compounded of Creag and Lirian that is the Soft- slaty Crag which is well known to be descriptive of locality. |

A hill on the farm of Marwhirn . Somewhat lower than the general range of the hills separating the valleys of Dalwhat & Craigdarroch it yet forms a prominent & well defined single feature on the north side of that range and from its herbage being of a lighter tint than any in its immediate vicinity its prominence becomes more striking. From this fact it may perhaps have derived its name . From its summit a fine view is obtained of the opposite (northern) hills stretching as far as the eye can reach [tods [towards]] the eastern extremity of the parish and skirting & defining [with] marked distinctness the limits of the valleys through which the Dalwhat and Cairn waters flow. |

Here Craigleeran is a unique ('non-authorised' spelling which appears nowhere else in SP) and it should be spelt Craiglirian (see e.g. page 51), with a variant Craiglearan (or Craiglearand). Likewise - Strenshelloch (Stronshalloch on p.54 is the only other 'official' variant for Stranshalloch, although it has also been written Strenshalloch on p. 55 and 62).

[North] to S, [South] may be discerned, believed by Mr. Young present occupant of Nether Kirkcudbright to be the track of foundations of an Ancient Chapel dedicated to St. Cuthbert from which the Name Kirkcudbright is said to be derived. Mr. Young entered this Farm upwards of 20 years ago, at which period the small field where the Site is shewn was an Orchard which he ploughed and though a perfect stranger to the locality he states that he was Convinced at the time - [&] from the vast quantities of bones turned up by him that the ground had been at an early age appropriated to burial purposes - which surmise was subsequently confirmed from enquiries at old residents who stated the orchard to be the reputed burial- ground attached to St. Cuthbert's Chapel._ Examined the adjoining Steading neighbouring Walls [--] but could discover no vestiges that could pertain to a religious structure.

A large circular mound having traces of entrenchments, it is supposed to have been a Camp, but whether British or Roman cannot be ascertained. It was close to the public road about 1/4 of a mile West of Maxwelton.
The above has every appearance of a Moat. The entrenchments so called, do not present that appearance usually attributed to such but these features are characteristic of walks or promenades cut down evidently subsequent to the raising of this mound, and are not hollowed or scooped out but quite flat on the surface. During the 14 or 15th Century the Earls of Glencairn Barons of the district are reputed to have had castle somewhere near this which may be confirmation of this Antiquity's connection therewith either as a judicial moat or other outpost. This characteristic of other Mounds called Moats in this County |

[Situation] From Birlston extending n. E. [north East] for about 49 chains .
A precipitous and rugged glen and small Burn. This Burn rises at the north end of the farm of Glen crosh and falls into Castlephairn water near the farmhouse. The stream here mentioned rises about ¾ of a mile above the linn, and is Called Glencrosh Burn, which is perhaps a more applicable name to adopt. although linn & burn are of different signification The rugged glen Commences at the N.W. [North West] end of the plan, & continues to Birlston bridge |

Moat - Situation - written very faintly below the red ink entry, with an arrow pointing from the circled word 'hill' on the 1st line of the Descriptive Remarks, is (I think) 'A Natural feature?' Erased? because this comment is included/expanded upon in the Descriptive Remarks
- Descriptive Remarks - there are words/letters lost in the page fold - best guesses inserted, except the end of the 2nd last line (doesn't seem to be e.g. 'but' or 'except' - an abbreviated 'however'?).
Birkshaw - there is a faint 4th entry in Various modes of Spelling & Authority - Birkshaw - Valuation Roll
However, this seems a duplicate of the 2nd entry and may have been erased? |

It is spelt 'The Knypes' on Sheet XX (towards bottom left corner). There is a hill called 'The Knipe' ca. 5km SE of New Cumnock. |
