The name of this Parish is said to be derived from that of the first Kirk erected in the district or to have been named in honour of Ronald Connel_called S[ain]t Connel, the site of whose grave is still shewn near Glenwharry Hill in the North-Western district. _
The Parish of Kirkconnel is bound on the North and North-East by that of Crawfordjohn in Lanarkshire, on the South-East and South by Sanquhar and on the West and North-West by those of New Cumnock and Auchenleck in Ayrshire. _ There is no part of it within the boundaries of another Parish nor is there a detached partion of any other Parish within it's limits. _ Its area has been computed at 26, 808.351 Acres. _ Two thirds of the whole Area is hilly, about 6,200. Arable and 180 wood. _ In the S[outher]n division there is a continued range of hills, irregularly formed and of consid- height which afford excellent green pasture, north and south of which division the soil is cold and swampy covered for the most part with heath, intersected by narrow and rocky valleys, deep ravines and winding rivulets. _ The River Nith from the West flows for about 4 1/2 [four and a half] miles in an Eastern direction through the Southern division and forms to the extent of 1 1/2 [one and a half] mile the S[outher]n boundary of the Parish. _ Kello Water from the South-West runs for about 5 1/2 [five and a half] miles along the Southern boundary and falls into the Nith at a point where the boundary is traced by that river. _ Crawick Water flows for about 8 [eight] miles along the S[outh]E[aster]n boundary._ Spango Water is formed by two head Streams (Fingland Lane and Glenaber Burn) which rise near the Centre of the Parish, flows East and joins Wanlock Water, _ the united Waters forming Crawick Water. _ There are between 50 [fifty] and 60 [sixty] rills in the interior varying from a few Chains to 4 [four] miles in length, the greater number of which pursue their Course As independent Streams to the Nith, the Kello Water, Crawick Water And Spango Water. _ Rig Well about 1 1/4 [one and a quarter] mile from Kirkconnel Village is a mineral spring (chalybeate) which by chemical analysis has been found to be the same as Hartfell Spa |

A Trench is still discernible where the Site of a Circle has been shewn. _ [Robert] Simpson in his history of Sanquhar confirms the character assigned thereto from the Name "Laganaweel - the hollow of blood" in the immediate vicinity of these Objects of Antiquity. _ The Site of An Ancient Church dedicated, to St [Saint] Connel is shewn_Also that of this Saint's [?grave] The New Gazetteer of Scotland says "The Ancient Church of this Parish was dedicated to St. [Saint] Connel whom a very old tradition asserts ? have been buried on Glenwharry Hill near Old Kirkconnel and the present Minister of the Parish lately satisfied himself [?by /with] personal inspection of the Spot, that the tradition is true". _ The Site of An Ancient Stronghold is shewn called Castle Robert of [? Connel] however no authentic information exists beyond that traditionally reported in the district. _ An Ancient Font Stone near S.En. [South Eastern] Parish boundary may still be seen. _

Of the origin of this name nothing satisfactory can be gleaned. Dr [Doctor] Simpson gives the root of the latter portion of the name "Minean", a kid, without other reason apparently than the similarity of the words. The Gaelic word "min" or "mine" signifying "smooth" might, with greater plausibility where all is conjecture, be assumed as the origin, because when Considered in connection with the nature of the district and the still smooth flow of the waters over it flat surface, the term would have some significance and appropriate-ness_

A small Burn having its source on the N. [North] W. [West] side of Spango Bank and running in a Southerly direction falls into Spango Water about 1 [one] mile from its mouth. The name signifies the field of the stone.
[written by a different hand]
Auchan, usually written in the District, Auchen [underlined], belongs to the Gaelic Maen, which signifies a blcok of Stone belongs to the British Speech. Putting such two words together for the name of a small burn on the moor, seems at variance. The name must be from Auchen and Moir [underlined], which implies a Moss, or wet, and moist land of which the name on the ground is descriptive. It seems that Auchmain [underlined], i.e. ["id est" - that is] the wet, or mossy field is the correct Mode. being thus verified on the ground.

The Site of the castle is traceable by a slight circular elevation It was a Stronghold of the feudal times a baronial residence of consequence in those bye-gone times. Until lately it was a small f [?feudal] town & named Castle Robert. |
