[situation] At the Nn [Northern] extremity of the County of Dumfries.
The name of this Parish is derived from Gaelic Qua-vat, which is said to signify a long deep mountain hollow, evidently referring to the extensive valley now called Moffat Dales which extends in a S.S.Wn [South South Western] direction along the entire length of the Eastern division of this district. The name Moffat is applied to the principal Village, vale and Stream of the Parish.
The Parish of Moffat is bounded on the North by Lanarkshire, Peebles-shire and SelKirKshire on the East by SelKirKshire, the Parishes of Eskdalemuir and Hutton- and- Corrie in Dumfries- shire on the South by Wamphray and Kirkpatrick - Juxta and on the West by LanarKshire.- There is a part of Moffat Situated within the boundaries of Lanarkshire but there is non within the limits above assigned to it a detached portion of any other Parish. Its greatest length is nearly 15 miles and greatest breadth from 8 to 9 miles. It is of irregular formation. Its entire Area has now been computed at 40,081 Impl. [Imperial] Acres of which 5,500 acres may be arable, 500 wood and 34,500 pasture, roads, water etc. The entire district is hilly and mountainous, except along the vales of the principal Streams where it is Arable. Many of the highest hills in this district have a gentle Acclivity and present a peculiarly green appearance and which - being descriptive of the term Fell applied thereto, afford excellent pasture,. |

pasture for sheep. The northern division of the Parish is singularly wild, where many of the mountain ranges which extend along the stream are rocky and inaccessible. The greatest altitudes White Coomb and Heart Fell at the Northern extremity and Loch Fell at the southern extremity attain a height a respectively of nearly 3,000 feet. The whole district is watered, the principal streams being the River Annan, which having its source near the N. boundary and running South through the two districts for about 3 miles, then forms and traces the western boundary; Evan Water from the N. boundary running S,S,E also through N. district enters Kirkpatrick-Juxta and Moffat water from the N.E. point of Parish running S.S.W, through the N. E. division till it forms a junction with River Annan. There are several other streams which after heavy rain assume a singularly picturesque and grand appearance, as when from the highest point of the Parish they are seen coursing furiously down the mountain sides - lost at intervals in the deep and narrow channels - they...with vigour burst from these gorges down the more abrupt and inaccessible declivities. Loch Skeen situated about 1,000 feet above the sea in the N. E. district measures about 3/4mile in length and 1/4 mile in breadth. The outlet of it waters is by a lofty cascade called Grey Mare's Tail falling over precipitous rocks which have been computed in all at 400 feet elevation above the lake, this waterfall being broken into parts. Several medicinal springs exist in the district, of which Moffat Well and Hartfell Spa the former sulphurous and the other chalybeate have now attained great celebrity. No minerals have been discovered - sandstone abounds but is not wrought, the blue whin stone of the district being used for building purposes. The only manufacture carried on is that of cloth to a small extent in the village of Moffat. The Glasgow and Carlisle turnpike road runs from the North to South through the central division and also the Caledonian Railway. The only village is Moffat a Burgh of Barony (defined?)wherein are held a weekly market and four annual fairs which consists principally of one broad sheet of good houses flanked on either side by other smaller streets and lanes or alleys with a genteel suburb toward the N. E. of excellent houses and seats. It is chiefly indebted for its prosperity to the frequenters of the mineral wells. Situate about 370 feet above S.L. its streets, doubtlessly from the declivity, present an unusually clean appearance as compared with other villages of its size. In it are the Ph. (Parish) Church, Ph. School or Academy, United Presbyterian and Free Churches, an endowed and an Infants' School, various Banks (branches), a woollen manufactory, first-class inns and excellent and commodious Bath-rooms which are supplied with water conveyed in pipes from the Spas. Population about 1750. The principal proprietor is J. J. Hope Johnstone Esq. of Annandale M.P. Population at the last Census 2,304,
The continuation of the Clydesdale Roman Road from Wamphray Ph. may still be traced in this district, which as General Roy states "having passed the Avon (Evan Water) near its confluence with the Annan, it continues along the ridge between these two rivers till it falls in with the source of the Clyde, at a place called Little Clyde" (in Lanarkshire). The New Stat. Acct. of Moffat says "In the list of antiquities may be mentioned that part of the old Roman Road up the vale of Annan towards Crawford which is still |

visible in part, but which contains nothing but what has often been described. The Romans have in this line put down long paving-stones, as the more durable mode of working. "Vestiges of a Roman Camp can be distinctly traced in the N.W. of the district. Some Roman encampments can be distinctly traced in the neighbourhood of the Roman Road". Old Stat. Acct. of Dumfriesshire.
Vestiges of encampments called in the district Forts throughout this Parish, similar in formation and dimensions to others shown in various Parishes and which by various authorities have been considered either as Pictish fortifications or cattle shelters during the time of border feuds. There are ruins of several old Towers or Peel houses in different parts of the Parish, which from their small dimensions and the want of historical notice seem to have been unimportant as places of defence. The Knights Templar are believed to have had a Chapel at a place called Walls. The gable end of the Old Parish Church is yet extant, which edifice was erected in 1601 and disused in 1790. |

[A large loch on the farm of Polmoodie surrounded on three sides by steep perpendicular hills]
A singular wild and gloomy sheet of water surrounded by a savage moorland scenery, which impress the Mind with a sensation of almost painful solitariness that may be imagined, but cannot be well described. It is nearly 1 Mile long and nearly 1/2 mile in breadth, its waters contain two kinds of trout. It is much resorted in Summer by Ladies and Gents.
Sir Walter Scott has written some lines on the beauty and scenery of this wild district.

A winding Valley, extending from Birkhill, near the Confines of this Parish, for a distance of 10 miles Southward, through which Moffat Water runs in time of heavy flood, with force and rapidity.
On each side of this Glen, the ground rises to a graceful indulation forming a primitive range of Mountains of Considerable Altitude, supposed to be from 10 to 1500 feet above sea level.
In Summer when Moffat is the resort of a large Concorse of Males and females up this defile is one of their principal drives, to see the romantic scenery which it affords. Nearly at the head of the Gorge is a cascade Metaphorically called the Grey Mare's Tail a natural curiosity of general Observation, as well as the Mountain Tarn well known as Loch Skeen. |

[Situation] To the S.W. [South West] of Newton Fell on the Spa Well Burn.
This Well or Spring was discovered by a farmer named John Williamson in the Year 1748. The Spring is in the fissure of a Rock which is rudely built over in the shape of a vault, there is a Stone in the centre of the arched roof on which is the Armorial Bearing of the Douglas's (The Bloody Heart) it is dated 1754 and the initials C. D. are likewise on the Stone.
The building is nearly buried under the debris from the Scars of shale & Conglomerate by which it is completely surrounded. Fossil remains have been found in the Scaurs, Sulphuret of Iron or pyrites abounds in the debris. Hence the elements of the sulphate of Alumina & sulphate of Iron entering into the constitution of the Chalybeate. |

It is a shame that you are ignoring the advice that has been left on various pages for you. You are a reasonably good transcriber, but seem to have decided that you will do some things your way.
I'm afraid this is not acceptable as SP is aiming for consistency.
I have corrected this page for you to the standard that is required. |
