The Ancient Name of this Parish was Wamfray and Wamfry which Chalmers remarks is derived from Scoto Irish Wamh-fri the den or deep glen in the forest._ In Accordance with the etymology, the Site of the Church and old Manse is in a deep and woody glen on the South side of Wamphray Water._
The Parish of Wamphray is bounded on the North by that of Moffat, on the East by Hutton and Corrie, on the South by Applegarth and on the West by Kirkpatrick-Juxta and Johnstone. There is no detached portion of Wamphray within the boundaries of another Parish, nor is there within the limits here assigned to it a detached portion of any other Parish. _ Its shape is nearly rectangular, - its greatest length from North to South is 6 1/2 miles and its greatest breadth 3 1/2 miles and its entire area has now been Computed at 13,190 acres, of which 260 acres are wood, the remainder arable land and pasture in the proportion of 1 to 3._ Most of the low lands lie on the bank of the Annan on the Western Parish boundary _ there are also some finely secluded valleys along Wamphray Water near the centre of the Parish especially in the northern vicinity of the Church wherein the ground is remarkably fertile. The South-eastern district is for the most part arable - with a very deep soil. _ Two mountain ranges in the northern district running parallel with each other from S.W. [South West] to N.N.E. [North North East], vary from 1,000 to 2,500 feet in height. _ There are also two other ranges nearer the South running parallel to each other from S.E. [South East] to N.W. [North West] which rise from 500 to 1,000 feet above Sea level. The lowest point of the Parish is 200 feet at the S.Wn. [South Western] extremity; the highest point is Loch Fell at the Nn. [Northern] extremity where the above-mentioned ranges meet and terminate and which hill is said to attain an altitude [continued on next page] |

altitude of 2,500 feet above Sea level._ The principal Stream is the River Annan which forms the Wn. [Western] boundary. Wamphray Water a considera[ble] Stream from near the northern extremity of the Parish flows 3 1/2 miles Southward between the mountain ridges and then running for 2 1/2 miles westward falls into the River Annan. _ Numerous other tributary streams take their rise in the interior._ There are several mimic Cascades on the smaller streams._ Bellcraig Linn on the Northern boundary, Dub's Cauldron, Dub's Pot and Dub's Pan all in proximity of each other in Wamphray Water are famed for the romantic and picturesque scenery which surrounds them._ The Caledonian Railway traverses the south western division, on which there is a small station for the convenience of the Parish. _ There are about seven or eight miles of Turnpike Road, consisting of the old line from Glasgow to Carlisle, togetrher with that which leaves it about [the] middle of the Parish towards Langholm. _ There are no minerals wrought nor manufactory carried on, the district is strictly rural, there being neither [town] nor village, with the exception of Newton a hamlet in the south-western district in which there is an Infant School. _ The Parish Church situate [in] the central district is a long and narrow building, - about 53" [feet?] long by 18" [feet?] wide, which accommodates 200 sitters. It is very old, but the exact date of [erecting] has not been ascertained. _ There is also an United Presbyterian Church _ a small plain structure situate about 1/2 mile S.W. [South West] from Newton._ There is also one Parish [School] about 1/2 mile south-west from the Parish church._ The Population of the Parish is about 530._
"There appears to have been a Roman Road for four or five miles through this Parish, from North to South, near [to the] old road from Glasgow to Carlisle, which is still a turnpike road, and where in some places pavement stones are occasionally dug up, especially on [the] lower grounds where there are a few houses forming a small village called Gilgal or Newton._ Along this line too there are several large stones , about five or [six] feet in height, fixed firmly and perpendicularly in the ground, and supposed to have been placed there by the Romans, probably for measuring distances" _ [Statistics] The track of the Roman Road as pointed out on the ground has accordingly been shewn on the existing Turnpike Road and which in one or two instances diverges [a] little to the West therefrom._ The stones as mentioned in the above quotation have also been shewn, which being in their natural state, without the mark of any tool, they can only be classified as what are traditionally termed standing stones, and in the absence of any authority thereon and their want of inscription or [sculp]turing (as was usually discovered on such stones erected by the Romans to bespeak the prayers of passengers) it is probable that they were erected subsequent to the Ro[man] occupation, but for what purpose cannot be conjectured.* Several Camps or Forts have been shewn, but their origin is doubtful. _ The Statistics say, "several t[races] of camps supposed by some to be Roman, by others British are also visible in this Parish." Towards the East side of Parish there are traces of a square fortification which may from its formation be classified as a Roman Camp. _ The others from their round or oval formation are pronounced in locality to be British Forts, - [though] it may be remarked that in one instance the word Burian is written to one of them on an old Estate map, a word which signifies a kind of fortification _ used during border feuds for the protection of cattle. _ The site of a Druidical Circle has been shewn, three of which antiquities are stated to have existed in this Parish._ [Site] of an old Tower called Wamphray Place and Leithenhall has been pointed out near the centre of the Parish, which Tower belonged to the Johnstone family ._ The site of an old Chapel - of which nothing is known - beyond that at an early date there was a considerable population in its vicinity, is shewn on the West [bank] of Wamphray Water._
* The following quotation from the Introduction to the Gazetteer of Scotland may be here given as confirmatory of the true character "Standing Stones being here assigned to these [objects.] Numerous stones of memorial or rude pillars, apparently very ancient and raised by the same people as the Cat-Stanes exist in every district, and in allusion to their upright position are trad[itionally] called Standing-Stones; they are in their natural state without the mark of any tool, and of course are very various in form; they frequently appear single and frequently also in groups of [two], three, four, and even a greater number, and in general from their wanting of inscriptions and sculpturing, they have failed to transmit the events which they were reared to commemorate."

A very prominent and steep Hill on the North West side, it is from this cause which it derives its name.
"It is said that Gile is a gable, and Logan a surname" the farmer is incorrect and should be written Gavel, in some districts Gail, Gable is a hill term. Gile is Celtic, signifies whiteness, and Logan or Lagan is a hollow. Logan Gavel is the most approved in this case.

Supposed site of an old Chapel vestiges of which are scarcely traceable - situated on the East side of Wamphray Water and about 3/4 of a mile North of Laverhay farm House-- It is shewn by writings and foundation of dwellings, that still higher up the Wamphray Water; there was 3 or 4 centuries ago, a considerable population.
A stone taken from this Chapel with some figures unknown is placed over the door of the present Wamphray Church ---- No writings shew the time of the abolition of the Chapel - which must have been as far back as the reformation at least -----

A Rivulet having its source a little to the north of Risp Hill on the lands of Newbigging and falls into Newbigging Burn.
Comb, not coomb from the Anglosaxon and signifies a hollow, or low place between hills.
Cwmo, from the British speech signifies the same
Coom and Cove in some districts signifies a place scooped out of the side of Mountains
Coomb is the old dialect in Scotland is the breast of a round hill.
In a general sense Comb or Combe signifies a ridge of hill from its resembling the comb of a cock. Hence Comb or Combe is the correct mode, the latter is preferable as in Stancombe, Yarcombe .

Stood on a steep bank opposite the manse. Was for centuries the residence of the Johnstones to whom it and the whole parish belonged. Seems to have been more adapted for a mansion than a place of defence.
During the feudal times, the Laird of this place and the Johnstones of Lochwood, are said to have had means of communicating with each other by signal, and assisted each other in case of an assault from an enemy. |

A stream which rises on the farm of Fingland, bears the name of Back Burn until it reaches the farm of Dalmakeddar this is where it enters Applegarth Parish, after which it is known as Dalmakeddar Burn until it reaches the Annan.
Hence it is that the stream has two distinct names given to it, in the district which clearly shews that it has not a correct local name , but that Dalmakeddar Burn might be applied as far as it is conterminuous with it. i.e the Parish Boundaries/Back Burn is trifling for so small a stream forming a continuation of a district local name. |

The pronunciation of the authorities for modes of spelling appears to have lead the surveyor to the spelling Cackerbank which was later changed on further consideration to Cacrabank. An explanation of the etymology was noted.
A descriptive sentence for Cacrabank Burn was crossed out and a new description was entered in a different hand. |
