OS1/10/32/1 KIRKMICHAEL 023; 024; 032; 033; 041; 042
OS1/10/32/1 Parish of Kirkmichael No. 21 County of Dumfries J.V.T. Walker´s Map of Scotland Near the middle of the The name is evidently derived from Kirkmichael Crawford´s map of Dumfriesshire County of Dumfries. St. Michael, to which Saint the original Johnstone´s map of Dumfriesshire Parish Church is said to have been dedicated. The Parish of Kirkmichael is bounded on the North by that of Kirkpatrick-Juxta, on the East by Johnstone and Lochmaben, on the South by Tinwald and on the West by Kirkmahoe and Closenburn. There is no detached heart of it within the boundries of another Parish nor is there within it´s limits - here asigned by the above mentioned Parishes, a detached portion of any other Parish. It´s elliptical in form, is 9 miles in length and 4 1/2 miles in extreme breadth, and it´s entire area has now been computed at 17,131 acres, of which 6,761 acres may be arable and meadows, 9190 - pasture, 830 Mofs, Sandbeds, Roads,Lakes and Water courses and 350 Wood. The surface in the south and south-east is in general level, but diversified with rising grounds, along the principal streamsthere are belts of fine holm, the soil in the low grounds is exceedingly fertile, in the middle districts it is dry and gravelly with heath occasionaly interspersed. The principal streams are the water of Ae on the western and southern boundaries, Kinnel and Duff Kinnel Waters on the eastern boundary, many tributary hills thereto taking their rise in the interior, the largest of which are Garrel Water and Glenkill Burn. There are also three small lochs, called Cran Loch, Cumrue Loch and Auchenaken Loch. There are two ranges of hills stretching nearly north and south, the one between the Water of Ae and Glenkill.
OS1/10/32/1A Glenkill Burn and the other between the lower grounds and the Glenkill Burn. The greatest elevation is the Holehouse Hill in the North Eastern district which is 1500 Ft. above Sea level. The turnpike Road from Dumfries to Moffat nearly bisects the Parish.Veins of ironstone and ochre abound throughout the Parish consequently some of the springs are slightly chalkyeate, but are not of particular notice. There are no minerals wrought nor manufactories carried on- the district is entirely rural - there are no towns nor villages. A parish church is situated rather inconveniently in the S?? district - two parish schools respectively in the ?? and Sn district. The principal Mansion in Kirkmichael House. The Duke of Buccleach is proprieter of about 1/2 of the parish. Population about 1130. A branch of the Roman Road leading from Netherbie in Cumberland is said to have existed in this Parish, of which however, no traces can now be discovered. The statistical account (1834) says ´The only Roman Road in the Parish is a branch of the great road that lead from Netherby in Cumberland to the chain of forts built by Collius Urbicus between the Forth and the Clyde. This can still be traced through the maps, and seems to have terminated at Catellum, of which two sides still remain very distinct, and which now forms the Minister´s garden. The maps here adverted to has evidently been reclaimed, which may account for the entire disappearance now of this antiquity, but in connection wherewith the Fort or Castellum is still distinctly visible in what forms part of the Parish manse garden wall. There are several indistinct remains of the fortifications, but there are no traditions about any of them. (New statt. acct.) Accordingly the remains of three-termed in the locality. British Forts have been shown. Another Fort called Wallace´s Tower, the origin of which has been ascribed to the partriot has also been shown, and in connection with which two other antiquities in this locality called Blue Cairn and Sax Corses may be here, mentioned in the original ? of all of which may be correctls asighned from the following quotation taken from the Statistical Account of the Parish. There are no traditions about any of the ancient fortifications, except a small fort, commonly called Wallace´s Tower, adjoining TorrGenn, a glen filled with natural wood stretching westward from Knockwood. This fort commands an extensive view to the South, occupying the summit of an angle formed by the junction of two branches that steep revine and being protected on it´s third side by a large ??. Sir William Wallace while meditating the capture of Lochmaben Castle in 1297 is said to have kept sixteen men there with whom he sallied forth to annoy the English garrison under Greystock and Sir Hugh de Moreland. Having taken some of their horses, the Scottish hero was pursued to Tor Head by Moreland, who, in the encounter which ensued was slain with several of his followers. A large stone named Sax Corses ie. six corpses marks the burial place of the banquished. Greystock enraged at this defeat and strengthened by fresh supplies from England immediately proceded to attack Wallace with 300 men. Wallace having fallen back among the hills was joined by Sir john Graham of Dundaff and his kinsman Kirkpatrick with 20 retainers, and having been overtaken by the English a general engagement ensued near Holehouse - Greystock fell, the victory was complete and the survivors seeking shelter in the woods, Wallace reached Lochmaben before them and took posession of the Castle. A Cairn as was then usual ha been raised on the field of battle which is now called Blue Cairn. The Old Stst. Acct says of Wallace´s Tower it is said to have been thrown up by Wm. Wallace after he had slain Sir Hugh de Moreland. A small fragment of the Castle belonging to the Barony of ???, may still be discerned by the thickness of the wall from those of the adjoining steadings of the ??? Mains which for the most occupy nearly the entire site of this castle. No particulars respecting.
OS1/10/32/2 Respecting this Barony are given by the several Statistics. The proprietors of this Castle were probably the Kirkpatrick family (now extinct) who were Patrons of the district at an early date. On the farm of wood towards the south eastern district remains are yet extent of Glenae Tower, which in 1666 gave the title of Baronet to a branch of the family of Dalzell, before it´s succession to the Earldom of Carnwath. The remains or site of Wreaths Tower have been painted out near the centre of the parish, of which no mention is made by Statistics and which has probably been an ordinary Beel house during border feuds or raides. A stone called Gibb´s Corse commemorates the spot where one Gilbert is said to have been killed during the time of persecution. The ruins of the ancient parish church of Garwald are yet extant situate near the centre of this Parish, which was remodelled and reconstructed in 1617. Garwald was of old a mensal churcg of the Bishops od Glasgow. In 1506, Robert Blackadder, the Archbishop of Glasgow asighned the rectory of Garwald to the College of Glasgow. At the epoch of the reformation, the Patronage of this church appears to have belonged to The Trinity Convent of Red Friers at ??? in Ayrshire and it was afterwards vested in the ?ing. Chalmers´Caledonia. The parish of Garwald or Garrel as it is now called, was probably annexed to that of Kirkmichael about 1729 as at that period the church belonging to the latter parish was enlarged.

OS1/10/32/79A Courance, Lockerby 13th February, 1858 Sir, I beg to bring to your recollection that it was lately determined, to give this house the name of Beechwood, in the Ordnance map; and as, from particular circumstances, I am now anxious, if it is not too late, to take the name of Elstree, instead of Beechwood, I take the liberty of asking you to oblige me by letting the former be substituted for the latter name, unless to do so would occasion too much. Lc col. James Royl Engineers
OS1/10/32/79B trouble. In preferring this request I am unsure that in more useful a course, than that which I adopt, would have been to have applied to Capt, Stotherd in Dumfries; but writing to that gentlemen would accation a day or two's delay, which I was unwilling to incur in a case which I am afraid may be already too late, and Capt. Stotherd may besides had so much trouble about the name of my house, that I am reluctant to ask him to write you again on the subject. I will
OS1/10/32/79C --- write to him, or call on him in a few days, and explain the circumstances under which I have taken the liberty of writing to you on this occasion. In the meantime you may rest assured that Elstree is a name not borne, so far as I know, by any house, or property in this county. It is the name of a place a few miles from London, near Stanmore, which belonged to the late Genl. R Bruce of the East India Service, my wife's grand-father and I ask the substitution of Elstree for Beechwood, to gratify Mrs
