[Situation] In the centre of Nithsdale.
The name of this Parish is supposed to be derived from the old British word "Caer "a Fort," and in support of which, a Spot near Nether Keir can still be pointed as Site of an Ancient Tower or Fort. The appellation Caer has assumed the form of Keir in many of the names of places in Scotland. Another - and somewhat fanciful conjecture is, that the name is derived from the particular colour of the Soil - "Keir signifying "black or brown".
Keir Parish is situated in the centre of the district called Nithsdale, forming a slender oblong, stretching from Northwest to Southwest. Bounded on the North by Penpont North-East by Closeburn and Kirkmahoe, South by Dunscore, South-West by Glencairn, And North West by Tynron - its greatest length is 6 1/2 Miles and its greatest breadth 2 1/2 Miles; but as its average breadth is scarcely 2 Miles, its superficial

superficial Area is only about 11 Square Miles, or roughly computed about 7040 Imperial Acres, and which may be said to consist of about 2,300 acres of arable land, 550 meadow land, 1800 pasture and 500 growing Wood, the rest for the most part being incapable of profitable Cultivation. The principal land proprietors are The Duke of Buccleuch, Mr. Hunter Arundell of Barjarg T.S. Gladstone of The Capenoch, - Copland of Blackwood a minor and George Haggan of Waterside also a minor. Most of the Parish is a variegated and regular descent from a hilly summit having an alluvial Soil, it is Conjectured to have been anciently the bed of the River Nith, when pent up by an obstruction on the South. The Parish generally is highly cultivated and along the Streams rich and fertile and well protected by embankments exist. It exhibits throughout pleasing and finely diversified landscapes these are secondary in consideration when compared to the view obtained from Blackwood Hill which [has a] most expansive and powerful description - lifting the eye along all the brilliant and exulting valley of the Nith is at once presented all the richest and highly diversified parts of upper and lower Nithsdale, - screened extremity by the Mountain Chain of the of the lowlands of Scotland and at the other by the Cumberland hills. Streams intersect the Parish, the principal of which are the Nith the Scarr the Shinnel and Allanton Burn, - six, respectively of about one mile in length flow in almost parallel and regular intervals into the Nith and Scarr. Keir, Capenoch and Blackwood Hills rise to an elevation of from 800 to 900 feet. There are two quarries respectively at [--] and Barjarg, but they are worked at considerable Expense in consequence of the want of coal in the Parish, and another drawback is that the cover is great and the superincumbent shale so little tenacious that it requires to be all removed. Keir Hill and Barjarg are the villages or rather hamlets, the former being noticeable only for its appearance and being the Site of the Parish Church, a neat edifice, accommodating 440 Sitters. This Church is like many more in the County most inconveniently situated for the Parishioners being at [the] end of the Parish and only 1 1/4 mile from that of the adjoining Parish of Penpont. The Minister's stipend averages about £230 with [--] Manse and glebe of 10 Acres, the latter valued at £18 per Annum. There are also two Parish Schools in which the usual branches of education [--] the aggregate salaries in which are £55.13/4d. which include fees. The Population in 1831 was 1804 and amount of assessed Property in [??] £3675. Eight and a half miles of Turnpike run through the Parish, Viz. 7 on the road from Dumfries to Penpont, 1 on that from Penpont to Glencairn and 1/2 a mile from Auldgirth Bridge to the foot of the Parish. There are no remains of antiquities and the only features of connection therewith are the Sites of St. Brigid's Chapel at Kirkbride, and that of the Fort or Tower said to have given name to the Parish.

A stream through this Plan. It rises on the East side of Black Hill and falls into the Nith about 3/4 of a mile below Keir Church. This Stream probably derives its name from the nature of the banks in some parts of its course, for it seems to be no other than "Scar or Skar," a north country word signifying "a bare and broken rock on the side of a river." |

A small eminence formerly used for cleaning Shillin and by charter in the reign of George III to be used by the person occupying the Mill adjoining. Shillin in Scotch is applied mostly to the "husks of corn ground" called shillin seeds". Shillen implies the grain itself freed of husks. As the former Could not be cleaned on an eminence it is evident that the name here applies to the grain itself. Shillen which was cleaned freed of the husks by exposure on this hillock to the wind. |

Referring to the name Brecco - " I cannot get the derivation of this name, but, the Word Breckoch, or Brockoch, inthe Irish Language means a place frequented by Badgers. Ther is a seeming cotradiction inthe Way those names are applied, Upper Brecco being lower than Nether Brecco, but Nether Brecco formerly stood at No. 32 on trace. I think Brecco has been adopted for the purpose of getting over the "och"" |

The Site of This Church or Chapel according to "The Old Statistical Account of Dumfries Shire" was at the hamlet formerly called "Killbride" in the Saxon form, and was dedicated to St Brigid. The Statistical Acc [Account]: 1836. Page 467, contains the following Notice of this Site.- " A Chapel is reported to have stood on Kilbride hill, and a Cottage still remains with walls about 3 feet thick, which is said to have been the Manse. The position of the Chapel is assigned to the spot on which the present farmer declares that he has often laid bare with the plough a piece of pavement comprised of small stones all of a size. A neighbouring patch of ground, on which the crops are always too luxurious is pointed out as the Church Yard. A person lately dead used to tell that he had assisted in removing some of the grave-stones, And in collecting and burying Scattered human bones. The Irish Kill as the original mode adopted here. |

[Situation] 29½ chains N.E. by E. [North East by East] of Hillend. Thiss name is taken from an old Farm that formerly stood in the field above the Bridge, its Situation being at the back of the of the Hill Would in Irish be Called Ca---. This name seems of doubtful origin and the people of the locality can give no information as to its correct spelling. They state however, that it is taken from a Farm which at one time stood on the Top of a hill and which from its position thereon was termed The Cool. If so, then Coul is the correct orthography. though in Scotch colloquial usage it is pronounced as if written Cool. Mr Lawson one of the oldest Parish residents states that he has seen it written Coul. This is the Scotch for a nightcap and the origin of the name may seem plausible enough - to say that the hill was capped. MJ |
