[Situation] At the East side of the County of Dumfries.
The Name of this Parish is Supposed to be derived from British Caer A fort, which fort during the Scots-Irish was named Wester Caer or Ker to distinguish it from Another to the East on the farm of Effgill. Another Supposition is that it derived its name from being the most westerly of the five KirKs of EsKdale.

There is no detached part of WesterKirK within the boundaries of Another Parish nor is there a detached portion of Any other Parish within its limits as Assigned by the above mentioned Parishes.- All the boundary lines are the watersheds of hilly or mountainous ranges except At two gorges at the South West where the Esk enters And departs. The greatest length of WesterKirK from North to South is 10 miles and its greatest breadth 6½ miles. Its entire Area has now been computed At 27,152 Acres, of which about 1,600 Are Arable, 25,352 pasture And 200 Wood.- The whole Surface except A narrow belt of valley ground along the Esk is upland and a large part towards the North-East mountainous.

the Black and White Esks runs in An Eastern direction through the South division of Parish for the space of seven miles, then from a place called Dowglen forms the South-Eastern boundary for About one mile.

The roads are upheld At the expense of the Parish, No minerals are wrought, but Antimony exists at Glendinning towards the northern extremity of the Parish which was regularly worked from 1760 to 1798. The vein which seldom exceeded 20 inches in thickness contained blende, Calcareous spar And Quartz. Shell Marl is Abundant At Megdale about 1 mile South of Glendinning.

There is one Parish School in Bentpath. The principal mansion is Westerhall.
Numerous Circular enclosures occur throughout this Parish of which the New Statistical Account says "Are Supposed by Some Antiquaries to be the remains of Pictish Encampments; while others Are of opinion, that they were merely places of Strength into which the people Collected their Cattle, for Security from English borderers.-There is also a third Conjecture, that they were for the purpose of protecting the Cattle during the night, from the ravages of wild beasts when the Country was covered with Wood.- " |
