The Parish of Morton is bounded on the W. and N.E by Crawford in Lanarkshire, on the East and South by Closeburn, on the South-West and West by Penpont and Durisdeer. Its shape is an irregular, oblong with two points respectively projecting beyond the rest at the N.E. and S.W. The boundaries of this projection at the North-East are undefined.

carried on and no minerals abound. The majority of the population are agricultural labourers almost exclusively employed on the Duke of Buccleuch's lands. Population about 3000. There are three villages viz Thornhill, Carronbridge and Gateleybrige. Gateleybridge is a small hamlet towards the S.E extremity of this Parish has a population of about 80 employed for the most part in the quarry adjoining.

On Mortonmuir's Hill the remains of a strong entrenchment are yet visible pronounced by locals generally as having been of Roman Construction. Both The Old and New Statistical Accounts of Parish also notice it as such. "At a short distance North-West of the Castle and on the other side of the Glen are the remains of a strong fortification which seems to have been a Roman fort or Castellum still called by the Name of Deer Camp; it about two miles North of Tibbers, Tiberii Castra, the great Roman Station in the Parish of Penpont; a Station well chosen to guard against incursions from recesses of the Mountains on the North and North-East (see Page 20) About ¾ mile West of Above are also visible remains of Another entrenchment likewise set down by locals of Roman origin The dimensions of this Camp are small but its square formation might favor the supposition of its having been a Roman Post-Castra Aestiva - capable of holding from 20 to 100. See Page 16. But the most important circumstance for supposing these Camps of Roman origin is the fact of the Roman Road having traversed the district as noticed by Gen[eral] Roy and other Antiquarians and whereby it would appear to have crossed Carron Water near Carronbridge where the branches diverged respectively towards Ayrshire via Tiberii Castra and towards Clydesdale via Wall Path in Durisdeer. Particular enquiries have been made in locality A few people have pointed out that which is from existing features and uncharacteristic sinuosities not the Roman Road but evidently only an Old fence which enclosed a deer park during the occupancy of Morton Castle by Thomas Randolph Earl of Murray (See Pages 20 & 25) Although scarcely ½ remains of the original fortalice ?in Morton now exist, these are still noble and have been considered the most perfect ruin of the kind in this part of the Country. The existing remains extend to upwards of 100 feet in length by 30 in width. The wall of the South front is almost entire, which from the foundation is about 40 feet high, having on the top at each corner a large round tower about 12 feet in diameter. The walls are from 8 to 10 feet thick (see Page 45) It gave the title of Earl to James Douglas Lord of Dalkeith, promoted to be Earl of Morton by James I in 1458. This honour being forfeited by the above Earls grandson, was again revived in the person of Sir William Douglas of Lochlevin. This Castle however seems to have been of higher Antiquity having belonged, as is said to Dunenald, the predecessor of Thomas Randolph Earl of Murray: and having been disponed in the reign of Robert I to Douglas of Morton. It was dismantled by David II on his return from England according to agreement with Edward III. About 300 yards South from Castle is a slight elevation which may have been used either as a beacon post or lookout station |

[Situation] 2½ miles N.E. of Thornhill
The ruins of an old castle - situateded (sic) on a steep isolated rock of a triangular form.- said to have been founded about the 10th Century and to have been given by Robert II as a dowry to his daughter Egidia the wife of William Douglas. The ruin is now the property of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch.
[In red ink] According to the McFarlane Mss [Manuscripts] in the Advocates library as quoted by Grose " this Castle is of uncertain origin; was kept in the minority of David Bruce, by Thomas Randolph Earl of Moray; and Stewards passed into the possession of that branch of the Douglases who became Earls of Morton, gave them their title and was allowed by them in their solicitude about other Strengths to go to ruins" Though not more than one half of the original structure now exists, it is considered to be the most perfect of the kind in this part of the County. It was originally protected by a sheet of water formed by large dams and strong embankments. The existing remains extend to upwards of 100 feet in length by 30 in width. The wall of the South front is almost entire, which from the foundation is about 40 feet high, having on the top at each corner a large round tower about 12 feet in diameter. The walls at the foundation are from 8 to 10 feet thick. |

[Situation] About 3¼ miles N. N. E. [North North East] of Thornhill
Near to this Castle (Morton) was a Park, built by Sir Thomas Randolph Earl of Murray , on the face of a of a very great high hill, So artificially that, by the advantage of the hill, all Wild beasts, Such as Deer, Harts, Roes and Hares, did easily get in, but Could not get out again and if any other Cattle, Such as Cows, Sheep or Goats , did Voluntarily leap in, or were forced to it, it is doubtful whether their owners were permitted to get them out again,
History of Galloway
Sir Thomas kept the Castle of Morton during the minority of David Bruce,
The Park fence Can still be traced with, with a very small exception on the south side. |

Gateley Bridge - other modes of spelling - 'Galelaw' should probably be 'Gatelaw' with the writer forgetting to cross the 't' see previous page (OS1/10/40/102) and List of Names to be corrected. Gateleybridge has been corrected using different ink to Gateley Bridge - I have assumed this applies to the following two 'Do' entries since it applies to the Bridge and not the village.
