| DRUMMORE | Drummore Drummore Drummore Drummore Dromore Ward of Tollow Hill Drummor |
Land of the Lindsays Mr. Mitchell Afflochie Andrew McFarlane, Laytack William Gibb, Gamekeeper Estate Map County Map New Stat [Statistical] Account |
026 | A remarkable drum or ridge of the lower part of the hills of this Parish & separated from them by the hollow through which Paphrie Burn flows. To the south-east there is also Drumbeg (from beag G. [Gaelic]) "the little ridge". There is a remarkable high pole standing on the west end of the Drum which is like a Flag staff, but it appears from Mr McFarlane's statement to have been an object erected more as a land mark. The Co. [County] Map evidently derives the name Ward of Tollow Hill from the old place of Ward - see Ward Burn 6.25-4 |
| DRUMBEG | Drumbeg Drumbeg Drumbeg |
Mr. Mitchell Afflochie Andrew McFarlane James Duncan Gardener Auchnacree |
026 | The smaller ridge, as the name indicates, which runs parallel with Drummore on the south-east. Both belong to Fearn Estate and although Drumbeg is equally well known it is, like other important names, omitted on the Estate Plan. |
