The Name of this Parish is said to be com-
-pounded of Sean and Caer - signifying Old
Fort. - Accordingly the Site or Remains of an ancient
Camp or Fortification about one mile north from
Sanquhar Burgh may still be traced. - Another
Etymology is from Sanch and Caer or Car, the
first word - in the Celtic - means Ratifier with a touch
and the latter a Town - alluding it is thought
to the Ancient Form of Consecration by touching
with a Wand. - The former however is the
derivation now generally assigned. - |

Parish of Sanquhar - Co [County] of Dumfries
[The Situation column contains:]
In N. Wn [North Western]
district of the
County of Dum-
-fries. -
[After the Parish entry there is a description of size, principal features and history, etc. This description is continued on several subsequent pages.]
The Parish of Sanquhar is bounded on the North by that of Kirkconnel, on the East by Lanarkshire and
Dunisdeer Parish, on the South by Penpont and on the West by Ayrshire and Kirkconnel. - There is no detached part of Sanquhar within
any other Parish, nor is there a detached portion of another Parish within it's [see note] boundaries. - Its figure is irregular. - It measures in extreme length
16 miles - that is from a point on En. [Eastern] Parish Boundary about ¼ mile East of Wanlockhead Lead Mines to Blacklarg Hill. - It's breadth varies
from 6½ miles to 1¾ miles; having an average breadth however of about 5 miles.- As [-of-] Statistics it is said to contain 61¼ square miles and [-of-]
State of Agriculture therein 39,529. of which 5,583 acres were cultivated, 735 in wood, 1500 capable of cultivation, 181 undivided Common, and 31,530.
permanent pasture and irreclaimable land. - The general face of the district is rugged and uneven and may be termed a mountainous or
highland district.- The hills in general however are in pasture but in a few instances towards the En. [Eastern] Parish Boundary they are covered with
heath and present a bleak and barren surface.- The Parish is formed into two nearly equal divisions by the River Nith in the vale of which river
the best and greater part of the arable land is situate, which is in general dry and gravelly and in some instances a fine & deep loam.- The
greatest elevations are East Mount Lowther and Blacklarg Hill which attain an altitude of nearly 3,000 feet. There are many other consid=
=erable eminences of from 2000 to 2500 feet above Sea level.- Most of the hills have a gradual ascent, - towards the S.E. [South East] however they shoot up
With uncommon boldness, East Mount Lowther being the most conspicuous of this class.- There are several considerable Streams, all of which contribute
their Waters to the River Nith in this Parish, Kello Water and Crawick Water on Wn. [Western] Parish Boundary are the principal tributaries, Menock
Water, Euchan Water, Wanlock Water and Glendyne Burn are also important Streams, contributing respectively a considerable volume of water to the
River Nith the principal Stream of the Parish.- These Streams are fed by many mountain rills which pursue their course through picturesque glens
and deep defiles.- Coal is wrought, to a considerable extent in the vale of Nith, which is supposed to be a continuation of the Seam from the
County

The author sometimes uses the abbreviation "it's" with apostrophe for the possessive instead of the correct (today?) "its".
In the long description of the Parish, the author also uses a period with horizontal line as separator between sentences. I transcribed that as ".-".
There is also an abbreviation which I am not sure of yet - see [-of-]. Consultation on the forum suggests: 'by', 'by the', 'per', 'of' - looking for other instances on going through the volume home in on 'of' - see Page 233, or 'P' - see Page 274. Overall I have gone for 'of' and so transcribed. |

Parish of Sanquhar -- County of Dumfries
County of Ayr which ranges from North-West to South-East - the average thickness of which is about 4 feet, at a depth of from 4 to 32 fathoms.- Red
Sandstone 6 feet thick generally intervenes between the Seams.- At the East side of the Parish about 9 miles E. [East] from Sanquhar Burgh are situated Wanlockhead Lead Mines,
which join those of Leadhills in the adjoining Parish of Crawford-John in Lanarkshire.- The Surface - said to be about 1500.' above Sea level - is bleak and mountainous, the
prevailing rock being greywacke and greywacke slate, yellow at the surface but black towards its centre.- These mines have been wrought at the depth of 60. 75. 93 and even 136.
fathoms.- The veins are from a few inches to 4 feet in width.- One vein is traceable on the surface by shafts and the ground being somewhat slackened and hollowed.- The head
Mines have been worked since 1680. Three hundred men are said to have been employed in the Search for gold in the neighbourhood of Wanlockhead during the 16th Century, and
to have collected of that metal to the value of £100,000. Stg. [Sterling] Many heaps of Sandse. [Sandstone] are still to be seen where Searches were then made.- Gold in very small quantities, in some few instances from
sixty to ninety grains, are frequently found by the miners.- Limestone Rock also exists near Castle-Gilmour towards the centre of Parish, the Stratum of which about 4 feet thick has about it
one of Freestone 2½ feet thick with blaes underneath.- White Sandstone occurs throughout the Parish which is well adapted to building purposes.- An extensive manufactory of Carpets
is carried on at the village of Crawick-mill which employs about 150 hands. About 100,000 yards of Carpets are annually exported therefrom.- There are two other minor Factories &c. [et cetera]
The Glasgow and South-Western Railway intersects the Parish passing along the East side of the Burgh of Sanquhar.- The Town of Sanquhar was created a Burgh of Barony
by James III. in 1484, and constituted a Royal Burgh by James VI, 29th August 1598. It was for may years thereafter called or written Sanquharburgh.- It Consists principally of one
Street which extends from West to S.E.E. [South South East] Chains the greater part of which is appropriately termed Main Street.- The houses which are built of the white Sandstone of the district are two storeys high and in general in
good repair and instead of the thatched roof which recently prevailed are with few exceptions slated.- In it are a Town Hall, the Established Church, two United Presbyterian Churches, a Free Church, a Parish School,
two branch Banks, two Inns, Post Office (sub) Gas wirks &c. &c. [et cetera et cetera] - The revenue is £40 yearly - The Civic functionaries are a Provost, two Bailies, Dean of Guild, Treasurer, four Councillors and Town Clerk - The Population
composed chiefly of Weavers and Colliers, was, at the last census 2,391.- There are two important villages Crawick-mill and Wanlockhead.- The former is a pleasant village situate in the Burgh part of the
Parish about one mile N.-W. [North-West] from Sanquhar on the Crawick Water. The houses are in general one storey high, and present altogether a regular, neat and clean appearance.- The population who are almost entirely
composed of workers at the Carpet Factory - may be about 190. Wanlockhead is an ancient village - squatted at the head of a lonely glen distant about 9 miles E [East] from Sanquhar. The houses are scattered [sna?]
of which are of primitive construction and in wretched Condition (Smollet wrote Humphrey Clinker in one of them) which, coupled with the bleak and extremely desolate locality around with an elevation of about 1500 feet
it may readily be supposed that voluntary choice does little to augment the population of this village which numbers about 715 miners and others in some way dependent on the Lead Mines. In it is a Chapel
upheld by the Duke of Buccleuch, the Minister of which tho' [though] a licenciate of the Scotch Established Church does not participate in the priveleges or take part in the deliberations of the
General Assembly of that body.- There is also a Free Church (a wooden structure) a commodious School (private) and a good library. There is also another village or hamlet near the
Centre of Parish called Menock.- The principal proprietors are the Duke of Buccleuch and James Veitch Esqre. The Farm houses are commodious and in excellent repair.-
The Population at the last Census was 4,081. The Turnpike to Ayr intersects the Parish, and runs through the Burgh, two lines branching therefrom, respectively to Lanarkshire and to Burgh of Dumfries.
The Parish of Sanquhar was considered until a very recent period, as almost destitute of antiquities.- The Revd. Dr. [Reverend Doctor] Simpson
minister of one of the United Presbyterian Churches in Sanquhar - an accomplished Scholar and learned Antiquarian - has however, by deep study and actual research on the ground attribut[ed]
to the district an entirely reverse Character.- "There are few places" Says he in his History of Sanquhar (1853) "that abound with as many remnants of hoar antiquity within
"a narrow compass, as does this locality".- This Author having been consulted personally by Examiners and descriptive extracts from his Work on the Antiquities of this Parish
having also been supplied in the remarks respectively upon these objects of Antiquity, it seems only necessary to give the more particular data assigned by Dr. [Doctor] Simpson thereto, as proof
characteristic of their antiquity &c. [et cetera]- As the first in the series, the Scene of a Battle with Tumuli has been pointed out near the Centre of Parish - supposed Celtic, which construction is borne out by
"many graves all lying North & South - a proof that they existed prior to the Age of Christianity in this Country, else the graves would have been laid East and West".- On the same ground the
Site of a Cairn has also been shewn "we say the Site [both underlined for emphasis] for the Stones have been removed for building fences" and which Cairn "must have been the resting place of the Chieftain who fell in
the battle.- The Author however probably examined this Site previous to the carrying off of the Stones which composed this relic, for says he, "it was the finding of this Cairn that led to the discovery of the
"whole Battle Field". Another reputed Celtic Antiquity is an old Wall stretching from North-West to South-East along the lower division of Parish at intervals well defined especially a little to
the South-West of Sanquhar Burgh near [Barr] where it is from 12 to 14 feet at its base, and about 5 feet in height , having a trench on the outside three feet deep.- The originators or purpose of Construction

Parish of Sanquhar -- Co. [County] of Dumfries
Dr. [Doctor] Simpson does not pretend to answer, farther than hazarding a Conjecture that it was constructed by the Britons immediately subsequent to the evacuation of Scotland by the Romans
in the 5th Century,- having a precisely similar object as the Catrail, - for the purpose of opposing the Picts and Saxons. Simpson says "it is an ancient Celtic dyke, which as Chambers informs
"us takes its rise at the head of Lochryan near Stranraer and pafsing [passing] through the uplands of Galloway advances along the wilds of Carsphairn and stretches forward to the frowing [frowning] heights
"of Afton; it then turns down Nithsdale, pursuing its course on the South side of the River along the moorlands; it crofses [crosses] the face of the hills on the farms of Ulzieside and South Mains
"where it is remarkably distinct and well defined; it then points towards the Woods of Eliock, from which it advances through Durisdeer and the Parishes beyond, pushes through Annandale
"and on to Carlisle where it terminates, accomplishing a course of much more that 100 miles." - From this description, it is evidently the object termed Deil's Dike by other authorities
About one mile North of the Battle Field, a circular entrenchment may be easily traced - which is pronounced to be the Site of a Celtic Fort "The breadth of the foundation is visible, it had
"a basis of dry stones 14 feet broad - the Stones have been carried away." Dr [Doctor] Simpson's supposition for this being a Celtic Fort is founded upon the immense thicknefs [thickness] of its wall and similar
formation to other such Camps, described by different authors. About 4 miles N [North] from the foregoing and nearly on N.Wn. [North Western] Parish Boundary there is a Circular mound surrounded by
a trench, all in good preservation, which Dr. [Doctor] Simpson and other local authorities pronounce a British Camp.- The Site of An Ancient fort is still traceable "by a ring round a
"knoll" a little to the West or North-West of the Burgh.- "It was a stronghold in the British times and when the Scots-Irish made an invasion from the Emerald Isle, they
"found an old fortification which in their speech they denominated Sean Caer which is the Old Fort" And from which as is generally supposed this Parish derives its
name - written in the Charters of 13th Century Senechar and Sanchar.- Towards the South-Eastern extremity of Parish there are the remains of a Cairn Said to have been the
place of interment of a Chief. The larger Stones of this Cairn have however been removed.- About ¾ mile South
from the Burgh near the mouth of Euchan Water the Site of an Ancient Stronghold may be defined by traces of an entrenchment Dr [Doctor] Simpson says "the Site of an
"Ancient Fort called Kemp's Castle, which name in the old British signifies Warrior's Castle.- This was a vitrified Fort, which is demonstrated by the burnt stones and fused pieces
"that are still to be found about the place".- The Name and indications are therefore in every way Confirmatory of its origin.- A Somewhat peculiar object towards the Eastern Parish
district - that of a large Crofs [Cross] formed on the ground "as plain and well defined", says the Author of the history of Sanquhar - "as if it had been laid down yesterday, constructed of
"Stones and loose earth after the manner of the Celtic Graves already mentioned and which is plainly the manufacture of a remote age "may be easily discerned, from which
peculiar feature of construction doubtlefsly, [doubtlessly] the historian hazards the following "Here then is the sacred mark indicative of the existence of an ancient place of worship which has been
"occupied as far back as the British times as the name Pan plainly shews,- Pan being precisely the same as Llan (gaelic) a Church"- referring here to the adjoining rills termed Pan
Grains - and which may be farther Confirmed in that of Starn Capel Nook" in the immediate vicinity.- On Knockenhair Hill about 2½ miles North from the Burgh there
is a large Cairn surrounded by a thick wall said in locality to be a Druidical Circle.- The Author of the History of Sanquhar does not notice it. The features are certainly
at variance with precedents of Druidical Temples. The probability is,- like the one previously mentioned - it is merely the resting place of some important Celtic or British Chief
Cairn (only) therefore, would appear a lefs [less] hazardous application. Adjoining the Manse, a similar Cairn is said to have existed on a small mound, which Dr. [Doctor] S. [Simpson] conjectures may have been the Scene of Druidical worship.
The venerable ruins of Sanquhar Castle, the most Conspicuous object of Antiquity in the district, situate a little South
of the Burgh Shew this Stronghold, to have been a coarse but very Strong Structure and from the utter want of Architectural taste thereon, it is conjec=
=tured to have been reared at a very early period.- Its precise date cannot be ascertained.- It appears however by some documents extant "to have
"been inhabited (if not built) by Dunegal, Chieftain of Stranith (Nithsdale) in the time of David I", which would be between 1124 and 1152 - the dates respectively

of the succefsion [succession] and decease of that prince.- This Castle was the chief residence of the original Barons of the district,- the ancient family of Rofs; [Ross] merged subse=
=quently by the marriage of a daughter of that family into that of the Crichtons, ancestors of the admirable Crichton who was publicly hanged for murder at Westminster H[all]
It was sold by the Seventh Lord Crichton in 1630 to Sir William Douglas Viscount Drumlanrig afterwards Earl of Queensberry, and was occupied by that family before the present Castle
of Drumlanrig was built.- It stood several seiges previous to the union, an incident in which is commemorated by the strongest and most entire part of that Structure well
known as Wallace Tower, in a narrow stair of which - as tradition affirms - the Scottish Patriot stood and fought single-handed with the English, on the occasion of an onslought,
made by them.- The existing ruins measure 172 feet long and 172 feet broad, the walls are about from 8 to 4 feet thick - the lower part has been vaulted, and the structure seems from existing
traces to have been surrounded by a double fofse† [fosse].- The existing ruins are now fast mouldering away through neglect to fill up the crevices in the walls, and give certain indications
of even the Patriot's Tower itself being ere long numbered among the things that were and of ingratitude thereby of it's local Worthies. Between Sanquhar Castle and Ryehill, the site of
and ancient Hostelry and religious establishment is pointed out by locals and adverted to by several Authorities and which appears by some ancient documents extant to have been called Sene[char]
or Sanchar Hospital,- It is said to have been an extensive pile of building and to have had a Chapel attached, but who were it's founders or the dedicatory Saint of the Chapel is not
known, tho' [though] some people in the locality afsign [assign] that of St. [Saint] Mary to the latter.- The earliest notice taken of it, appears by existing documents to be in 1296, when Bartholomew de Englisham
the Chaplain and Superintendent of the Establishment sware fealty to Edward I. Carved Stones were removed from this site, which are yet extant in the walls of an adjoining Cottage.- The Author of the History of Sanquhar has pointed out the sites of several Strongholds connected
with feudal times.- In close proximity if not on the precise Site of the present farm-steading of Ryehill, the Site of an ancient Castle originally pofsefsed [possessed] by a branch of the aforesaid Rofs [Ross] family
has been shewn.- Whether this building was ever honoured with the Name of Ryehill Castle, there is no existing evidence to shew, "but, says Simpson,- the Site of the edifice is well known, an[d]
"the old people remember when the Stones of the Structure that remained after the lapse of many generations were removed for other building purposes" The Rofses [Rosses] of Ryehill are frequently
mentioned by historical Authors,- which family being Lords of the Barony the Mound situate a little to the South of Ryehill may with propriety be considered the Mote or Moat of their Lordsh[ips]
"On the Farm of South Mains and closely adjacent to Goosehill stood a Castle the trench around which is still visible" Several relics have been found on this Site.- About 2 miles N.E.E, [North North East] from
Ryehill the Site of Another Castle is represented by An Artificial Mound.. Examiners state, that this Mound was also the Site of a Farm-house in more recent times - probably a remnant
of the Stronghold itself, instances of which are of frequent occurrence.- The Name of itself however, may Considered a Confirmatory indication,- Castle Gilmour being generally applied in
locality to this mound.- The Name Glenrae Castle is applied to a spot verging on the extreme Northern point of Parish, reputed in locality to be the Site of a Baronial str[ong=]
=hold, which may be confirmed by indications of entrenchments on the ground, and foundations which were partly dug up at the Commencement of this Century.- A few chains below
Blackeddie Bridge on the River Nith there is still visible a small fragment of masonry which formed part of one of the piers of an ancient Bridge.- There is no notable inc[--]
of this Structure beyond its having fallen down prior to 1661, as in that year "An Act of Parliament was pafsed [passed] for making a voluntary collection in all the Chu[rches]
"South of the Forth to afsist [assist] in rebuilding the Bridge over the Nith at the Burgh of Sanquhar" Whether the Act had signally failed in eliciting a voluntary contribution or the
Worthies of the locality had afsigned [assigned] a different Site for another bridge is not known.- Dr. [Doctor] Simpson adverts cursorily to objects in locality in some way connected with the ancie[nt]
history of locality - of these however, no indications exist on the ground.-

Re Lord Crichton and the hanging, there is some confusion over the designation of the Lord who was hanged: this document states the 7th lord sold the castle in 1630, and Scottish-Places.info relates that it was the 6th Lord Robert who was hanged in 1612. These two are consistent. Wikipedia and thepeerage.com have entries stating it was the 8th Lord who was hanged. |

The Revd. [Reverend] Robert Simpson in his
History of Sanquhar (1853) says,
"The Crawick, which falls into the
Nith about ½ a mile to the west of
the town, is a pleasant stream, and
its glen is stereotyped with legends
and traditions of the olden times,
which have been transmitted with
undeviating accuracy. Few things
are more heart-stirring than the
Stories which were told by the
people of the last generation, and
Some of which have found an em-
-bodiment in the beautiful prose
productions of Hislop the poet,
who wonned for some years on
the romantic banks of this sto-
ried stream, and whose head
was stored with the traditionary
love of his native glens, which
he rejoiced to give forth both in
poetic strains and in prose
Communications." |

the whole in good preservation.
Dr. [Doctor] Simpson Considers this to have been an
British fort and constructed anterior to the
7th Century. There is nothing remarkable in
its appearance, it is small, and the Mound
appears to have been a natural feature, the
only artificial work being the trench. |

"Looking from the Summit of
Carco height or from the Bale Hill,

Apparently this should be written Bog, although the old estate

The stream runs through an old farm which was called
The Bog, there is also a hill close at hand
(& on the same old farm), which is now called Boghill.
Local pronounciation is Bog, with the vowel sounded

A considerable stream having its
source on Black Larg Hill on
the boundary between the Counties
of Ayr and Dumfries', and
falling into the Nith a short
distance to the east of Old

a very bleak - moorland dis-
-trict and its bed generally
but more particularly from
the sheep bridge at Drumbuie
Plantation to Old Kello Side
is of an exceedingly rugged
Character being covered in many
places with large blocks of
Rock apparently of the transition
Class.
The Kello from the Nith
to the County Boundary (Ayr

KELLO SIKE and KELLO WATER - there is an abbreviation in the Authorities between 'History of Sanquhar' and 'Revd. Dr. Simpson' (the latter is the author of this book). I have noted this abbreviation is used in the long Parish description on Page 1 of this volume. Forum help sought. On discussion it could either be 'of' (example Page 233 'bridge of one') or 'P' (for per, example Page 274 'Parish of'). I think it is probably 'of' and so transcribed. |

"It is an Ancient Celtic Dyke, which
As Chambers informs us, takes its rise
At the head of Lochryan near Stran[raer,]
And passing through the uplands
of Galloway, advances along [the]
Wilds of Carsphairn and Stretch[es]
forward to the frowning heights
of Afton; it then turns down Nithsd[ale,]
pursuing its Course on the South Si[de]
of the River Along the moorlands; [it]
Crosses the face of the hills on the farms o[f]
Ulzieside and South Mains, where it is
remarkably distinct and well defined[;]
It then points towards the Woods
of Eliock, from which it advances
through Durisder And the parishes
beyond, pushes through Annanda[le]
And on to Carlisle Where it
terminates, accomplishing a Course of
Much More than a hundred Mile[s."]

A table entry for "DEWS DIKE (Remains of)", map reference 006; 013 has been deleted, it does not appear on this image. There are 5 instances of this Name in Volume 44, none of which appear on the image, nor does the Name appear in the index for the volume. At this time, there are references in other volumes (06, 14, 30, 36) for Dumfriesshire - none of which have this Name in the image. All pages do, however, contain "Celtic or Deil's Dike" in the Name - I wonder if this is a misinterpretation of the Gothic font used?

The Revd. Dr. [Reverend Doctor] Simpson says of this village, - "The Carpet Works at Crawick Mill have for a long time been productive of much benefit to the place. They have been generally in a steady and prosperous condition so that the workmen there were tolerably well Employed when other weaving branches were very low, It is a smiling village and has always been so, and the inhabitants seem cheerful and contented. Nor have the impositions of witchcraft been able to blighten their prosperity for any length of time. If it was depressed, it rose again; if it fluctuated, it became steady; if gloom came over it, the clouds passed away, Crawick Mill has always possessed a set of rare characters although worthless ones have frequently
appeared alongside of them. Still the good is greatly counteractive of the ill, and few villages in the general possess a more worthy reputation. * * * There is a small library instituted among the workmen at

This name is applied to a row
of Cottages situated to the south
of and detached from, the rest
of the village of Crawick Mill,
of which however, it may be con-
-sidered as substantially forming
a part. It would appear to
have derived its name, as it
implies, from its position being
situated upon the breast of
the rising ground that stretches
in a south westerly direction
from the top of Lawyer's Braes
to the Glasgow and South
Western Railway.
Windyedge is the property of
John Halliday, postmaster,
Sanquhar and is occupied by
weavers Employed in the Carpet
Works at Crawick Mill.
The Cottages are in good repair

This name applies not only to the

also to the cottages near to it
on the east side. These are
the property of the Duke of
Buccleuch and are occupied
Chiefly by workmen Employed
at Crawick Mill. They are
in good repair and the gardens
attached are kept in Excellent
order. The Bridge, judging from its construction
must be of a very Early date. It is of one arch
rising at its centre considerably above the general
level of its approaches which are very awkward
and the roadway is very narrow, |

[Descriptive Remarks:]
"St: [Saint] Bridget, to whom this well was dedi-
cated, flourished in the early part of the
sixth century, and seems to have exerted
no small influence on the northern
tribes. She was of Irish descent &
was accompanied by nine virgins, who
assisted her in her pious efforts to
diffuse the Knowledge of Christianity,
She probably exercised her labours amo[ng]
the Irish or the Scoto-Irish, who h[ad]
established themselves under Fergus
the famed Irish Chieftain in Kintyre [?,]
and who, its is understood, brought
the gospel with them, having been
converted to the faith by St [Saint] Patrick [?.]
It is not improbable, however, that
our ancestors had a St. [Saint] Bridget
of their own, and in all likelihood
a person by no means inferior. "St. [Saint]
Bridget", says Leslie, "was held in
such veneration by Scots, Picts,
Britons, English, and Irish, that
you may see more churches erected
to God in memory of her among all
those nations, than to any other saint[?."]
It cannot be doubted that her sanc-
tity and usefulness must have been
very great and her efforts to extend
the truth Eminently blessed.
In ancient times this sacred
well was doubtless visited by many

[Descriptive Remarks:]
many a devotee who had faith in the
virtue of its consecrated waters and
many a holy requiem would be chanted
under the shade of the scented hawthorn,
or the palmy willow that loves to guard
the fountains and the brooks - It
was related by the old people that the
maidens of Sanquhar used to resort on
May-day to St. [Saint] Bride's Well for the pur-
pose of drinking its limpid waters, &
it is further stated that each presented
nine [underlined] smooth stones as an offering to
the saint. The coincidence here is
Remarkable between the nine virgins [both words underlined] of
St. [Saint] Bride, and the nine stones [both words underlined] presented
by the maidens [underlined] on May-day; and if
they had been asked the meaning of the
ceremony, they, perhaps, could have as-
-signed no other reason than merely an-
-cient custom, It is obvious, however,
that it must have originated in com-
-memoration of the nine Companions of
the saint, and for the pious purpose
also of doing honour to the venerable
saint herself. This fountain, however,
which for ages had welled out its pure
waters, is now hidden from the view
under the line of the railway which
passes directly over it. Till the last
generation, the well of St: [Saint] Bride was
surrounded with stately trees, the rem-
-nant of an ancient forest called
the Waldtrees a name not uncommon
in this district"
There is still a spring at the spot marked on trace,

A knowe or little hill on the

of which is the site of the
"Sean Caer" or old fort from which
Sanquhar derived its name.
Dr. [Doctor] Simpson says "Sanquhar is
an old historical town. It can date
an origin of a higher antiquity than al-
-most any other town in the south of
Scotland. The author of the Caledonian [underlined]
Remarks, that it is first introduced
to our notice about the middle of
the ninth Century this is a thou-
-sand years ago, It was a stronghold
in the British times, and when the
Scoto-Irish made an invasion from
the Emerald Isle, they found an old
fortification in the immediate vicinity
of the present town, which in their
speech they denominated sean caer, [both words underlined]
that is, the old fort, so that even
at that remote period it had been
a place of strength of
Considerable antiquity. The par-
-ticular site of the sean care, [both words underlined] or old
fort, seems obviously to have been
that little green Eminence on the
farm of Broomfield, to the north
west of the town. Any one acquainted
with the form of the ancient Celtic " |

A considerable stream having its
Source on the high ground bounding

and flowing in a generally northern

Water.
The district through which
the Birk Burn flows is bleak &
uninteresting until it approaches
the Kello where some good arable
land is found on both its banks,
- here somewhat steep and rugged
and clothed with birch trees from
which it is said the burn de-

signifying that this Stream has a Zigzag or Crooked Course. - |

PAMPHY LINNS |
Pamphy Linns |
The Revd. Dr [Reverend Doctor] Simpson,
John Dryfe
James Blackwood |
006 |
Of this place Dr [Doctor] Simpson says:- "There is in the
midst of an Extensive moor about 2 miles to the west
of Sanquhar, a romantic spot called 'Pamphy Linns'
which is supposed to have been occasionally frequented
in the troublous times of our witnessing ancestors.
It is a very striking scene; and so little indication is
there of the Existence of such a fairy nook, that no per-
-son in passing through the heathy tracks in its close
vicinity could Ever imagine that any thing remarkable
was to be met with. And yet there is hidden below the
general level of the mossy plain a spot of real Enchantment;
for some of the finest points of Scottish Scenery, as a
celebrated writer remarks, escape the eye of the passing
traveller. Two gurgling streamlets that issue in crystal
purity from the hills in the back ground, meet together,
and immediately above the point of their junction, they
have worn their troubled channel to a great depth,
and by the erosion of their waters have formed spacious
cavities in the sandy rocks that rear themselves to a great
height on each bank. The semicircular bend of one
of these cavities is, at its base, perhaps 50 or 60 feet, and
the sweep of the arch, from the lowest part behind, along
the roof of the cave to its opening above the stream is in
proportion; and to the eye of a spectator crouching under
the Extreme part of the rocky recess, the rounded mouth
of the cave, where it meets the sky has the appearance
of a majestic rainbow. On the other part of the linn, where
the torrent rushes down a craggy declivity of great height,
the rocks are so fearfully Excavated as to shoot far over-
-head in a horizontal position, threatening an instant
fall and apparently upheld by nothing but the hand
of Omnipotence. These gloomy Excavations have been
formed in ages long gone by, and in one place the rivulet
seems to have been almost wholly arched over, forming
an immense Cauldron of dark and deep waters, boi-
-ling and Eddying in the profound beneath. The super-
-incumbent mass has in some places tumbled
down and is lying in scattered fragments like the
broken arches and colonnades of some magnificent temple.
A place like this, Even among the splendid scenery of the
mountains could not pass without admiration, but
when it is met with in the heart of an uninteresting
Moor, it is like an oasis in the desert."
Pamphy compounded of two British words - pem, great &
fau, cave. Dr S -. [Doctor Simpson] |

CORSE BURN
- The image on this page shows an entry for CORSE BURN, but there was originally no entry in the transcription table. According to the index for this volume, the name CORSE BURN appears only on pages 66 and 133, but there is also an entry on page 185 (in fact there are several instances on CORSE BURN over Dumfriesshire, and elsewhere). The description on this page's entry suggests this is the same stream as in page 185, while pages 66 and 133 seem to refer to a different CORSE BURN. I have added a row to the transcription table on this page.
COWS' WYND
- One of the authors of the page uses 'comma' instead of 'apostrophe', I have transcribed as written.
- The struck out word 'occupation' substituted with 'public' is linked to the description of the original usage of Cows' Wynd.
- The writer in Descriptive Remarks wrote 'Commor' - I think 'Common' is meant. |

Extract from the History of Sanquhar, [--]
The supposed site of an ancient Celtic
battle, scarcely a mile and a half from the
burgh, on the eastern slope of what must f[ormerly]
have belonged to the Town common. The slop[e]
of this green field contains many graves, all
lying north and south, - a proof that they
existed prior to the age of Christianity in th[is]
Country, else the graves would have been l[aid]
east and west, They are to be found scatt[ered]
here and there throughout the field, every w[arrior]
being buried on the exact spot where he fell[--]
These graves are in many cases single, in other
instances double, and some are of the breadth
of four, and six, and so on, and in some
places where the tumult of the fight h[as]
been thickest, there may scores huddl[ed]
together, |

(Extract from the History of Sanquhar)
Crichton Peel, or the Castle of Sanquhar,
seems to be a very ancient edifice, It is a strong,
Coarse structure, suitable to the barbarous times
in which it was reared, No architectural tast [taste]
whatever is displayed, as it was not beauty but
strength that was then in requisition, The form
of this old Ruin, even in its best days had no
Connection at all with those engravings on seals
and otherwise that have been thought to be a
representation of its primitive fashion,
It stands on an embankment that erst overlooked
the River Nith, as it flowed past its base long prior to
the time when it was changed into its present course,
It was formerly surrounded with a double fosse (which
are now entirely obliterated) which was then regarded as
a necessary security in a romantic and adventurous
age, The walls are of great thickness, and masses
of them have fallen from the top without being seperated [separated]
into pieces, this shous [shows] the immense strength of the
mason work, for the lime in which the stones are embedded
seems to lie as hard and impenetrable as the stones
themselves, The lower part seems to have been wholly
vaulted, and in this way was fireproof - a precaution not
unneeded in those precarious times, A strong iron gate
closed the entrance into the interior court, where all
was safe when the ponderous portcullis was let down,
and other precautions taken, It is now dismantled,
and although not absolutely a heap of ruins, it is
yet in a very decayed condition, and must ere long
crumble entirely to the ground - a result which might
easily be prevented by casting a little lime into
the open crevices of its walls,
The precise date of this building cannot with
certainty [Continued on next page] |

David came to the throne in the year 1124,

of seven centuries in the history of the hold,

(Extract from Sanquhar History)
Between the two castles of Sanquhar
and Ryehill stood a large pile of buildings
denominated the hospital of Senewar
or Senchar, It was the most considerable
establishment of the kind in the County,
and was of great benefit in those days
when inns were rare, and travelling performed
with great difficulty, Here the stranger was
hospitably entertained, and probably
without any charges made, At what precise
period this building was erected is not
known, neither is the name of the founder
retained, It was, however, in existance [existence]
in the year, 1296, The building is now
entirely demolished, |

DEIL'S BARN-DOOR
- The original name in the transcription table was DEWS BARN DOOR which was changed to DEIL'S BARN-DOOR. There is some doubt about the hyphen. In Volume 15 page 5 and Volume 30 Page 51, there is no hyphen, but the examiner has ticked the hyphenated version here.
- One of the authors of the page uses 'comma' instead of 'apostrophe', I have transcribed as written.
- Authorities are assigned to Durisdeer by a bracket, I have transcribed as if 'ditto'.

- The reference to Bought Hanse in the Descriptive Remarks may refer to Bught Hass. This has been corrected by examiners on other pages.

- I find it difficult to decide between Hause and Hanse in the transcription of the examiner's handwriting. 'u' might fit better phonetically with Hawse, but the 'n' is so like the others on the page I have left it as such. |

The Revd. Dr. [Reverend Doctor] Simpson, Sanquhar |
6; 12; 13 |
A farm consisting chiefly of sheep-pasture with a small proportion of arable land - the property of the Duke of Buccleuch and in the occupation of John Dryfe Esq. Barr: -
The district to which this name applies is upon the whole of a bleak and rugged character, the higher lands towards its western boundary consisting of coarse heathy pasture among which the whinstone rock crops out or lies in scattered fragments on the surface in all directions; - on that side, more particularly forming the left bank of the Euchan, these rocks are so grouped in close propinquity as to assume at a distance the appearance of steep craigs.
Barr signifies a height - Dr. [Doctor] McLeod's Gaelic Dictionary, in which he says, "It is worthy of observation that in almost all languages the word barr is found either simple or in Composition; and signifying height of one description or another". |

EUCHAN WATER |
Euchan Water, |
The Revd. Dr [Reverend Doctor] Simpson.
History of Scotland. Buchanan
History of Sanquhar. |
6; 12; 13 |
A considerable stream having its Source at Euchan Head near the base of Black Larg, on the confines of Ayrshire,
This water, with the exception of a Short distance in the lower part of its
Course, flows through a purely moorland district which terminates on both sides in lofty mountain ridges.- The expression "torturing rocks", which Dr. [Doctor] Simpson uses in his description of the Crawick, would apply with yet greater strictness to the rugged bed of the Euchan, which, without exaggeration, may be said to consist of one unbroken chain of whinstone blocks, - now standing out at intervals in bold relief or grouped in closer neighbourhood they stem the rapid current;- now worn to glossy smoothness - the work of ages, the River's swifter flow soon meets another check or finds a lower bed beneath some tiny cascade. Thus repeating itself with bolder features as it descends, the Euchan discharges its waters into the Nith at a point nearly opposite the Castle of Sanquhar. |

Formerly stood where the present Farm Steading of Ryehill is situated, The following is quoted from the Revd. Dr [Reverend Doctor] Simpsons history of Sanquhar. "Between six and seven hundred years ago," says the Author of the Caledonia, "Godfrey de Ross obtained from Richard Moreville, the Constable of Scotland, the lands of Stew[arton], wherin he was succeeded by his Son, James, de Ross who granted some lands in this manner to the Monks of Paisley. Such were the Progenitors of the Rosses of Hawk[h]ill, of Ross of Sanquhar. in Nithsdale, and other families".-
[The quotation continues on the next page]
[Hand2] There is no Authority to shew that this stronghold was called Ryehill Castle - There is every probability that it was merely a Border Tower or Peel.- |

[The Descriptive Remarks column contains the continuation of the quotation on the previous Page 292 for "Site of CASTLE Ryehill":]
Hence the first Lords of Sanquhar that we meet with on record were the Ross or Roos family, cadets of the ancient and powerful Earls of Ross, and Lords of the Isles. The Rosses posessed the lands of Ryehill, and built a strong-hold on their estate, the foundations of which are now quite erased, but the site of the Edefice is well known, and the old people remember when the stones of the structure that remained after the lapse of many generations were removed for other building purposes,

The Revd. Dr [Reverend Doctor] Simpson states that at the top of this Scar is where a large pile of buildings, deno[m]inated the hospital of Senewar or Senechar once stood, It was the most considerable establishment of the kind in the County, and was of great benefit in those days, when inns were rare. and travelling performed with great difficulty. At what precise period this building was erected is not known neither is the name of the founder retained, It was however in existence in the Year 1296, when Bartholomew de Englisham, the Chaplain and Superintendent of the Establishment swore fealty to Edward the first. The building is now entirely demolished. It was not even known to tradition, and had it not been noticed in ancient history it would have been lost in utter Oblivion. |

Eliock estate consists of about five thousand acres of Land, divided into different Farms, the property of James Veitch Esqr.
Eliock house on Eliock Burn. is a very ancient building. it is not known at what period it was first built. The Circular Tower and some of the Walls have the appearance of an ancient Castle. being looped and vaulted, is notable as the birthplace of the Admirable Crichton whose mental accomplishments and whose prodigious acquirements in literature and science are almost incredible considering the age in which he lived, The apartment in which he was born is carefully preserved in its original state. His Father was an eminent advocate. and a Lord of session in the reigns of Mary and James VI and soon after the birth of his distinguished Son he sold Elliock Estate to Dalzells afterwards earls of Carnwarth and removed to an estate in the Parish of Clunie in Perthshire a circumstance which has frequently occasioned Clunie to be mistakenly named as the place of the Admirable Crichton's Nativity |

A large hill South of Glenim
Altitude 1000ft. [feet]
[A dialogue follows regarding the derivation of the Name:]
[Hand 2, probably M Donohue] Name compounded of Knock, a hill And Conie a rabbit, in Celtic Speech, Knockcony Dod is the most approved mode (being the Custom of the Country,) It is known as Knockcony Dod,
[Hand 3]
Hill or Dod is evidently superfluous in this Name.-
[Hand 4] X If the name should be written in the literal Celtic or Gaelic - then Cnoccoinan (the rabbits hill) would be correct - The word Knock however being a Scotch word and coney (probably originally an english provincialism) also a word recognised in Scotland. Knockconey seems consequently the most reasonable mode of Spelling.- |
