A large lake about a mile in length and varying greatly in breadth its margin being greatly indented these indentations forming many miniature bays and promontories. It is surrounded by the parishes of Barr and Minnigaff and forms during its whole length part of the boundary between the shires of Ayr and Kirkcudbright. It is studded with islands in one of which is a heronry, these islands are greatly frequented by aquatic fowl in the breeding season. It is wholly surrounded by moss, hence the name Moan (gaelic) i.e. turf, peats, or bog fuel. It abounds with pike and trout of a large size but the latter are shy and consequently the lake is not much frequented by anglers |

[Situation] Running generally in a Southerly direction & dividing the Counties of Wigtown and Kirkcudbright,
A considerable river having its source in "Loch Moan" and forming part of the boundary between the shires of Ayr and Kirkcudbright and the whole of the boundary between the shires of Kirkcudbright and Wigtown.
Flowing in a southerly direction it receives all the superfluctant water for miles on each side of its course such as the "Minnick" "Penkile" "Palnure" other large streams, and many independent rills. For about 10 or 12 miles from its source it winds its course through morasses and heathy flats where the appearance of the country is bleak and dreary in the extreme, near "Bargrennan Church" it has a beautiful waterfall called the "Linn of Cree", from this point the country on each side has a more genial and picturesque appearance the river flowing into the "Loch of Cree" which is merely the river expanded into the character of a lake of about 3 miles in length, broader or narrower as the wetness or drought of the season may be. thence it renews its course as a stream in some places placid in others rapid running over rocks and shallows to Newton Stewart, at which place at high spring tides the influx of the tide is perceivable. from this place its course is very tortuous and serpentine through a large tract of highly cultivated flat country until it empties itself into "Wigtown Bay." It is navigable for vessels of 80 Tons burden as far up a "Carty" within 2 miles of Newton Stewart. A very rare kind of fish named "sparling" visits this river annually in the month of March or April when large numbers of them are caught. when cooked they have a peculiar smell like that of green rushes, and are considered a delicacy. It also produces other excellent fish of different kinds but the best and most abundant is the salmon. The "pearl Mussel" is also found in abundance in its waters. Its whole length from its source in "Loch Moan" to its influx into the sea is about 22 or 23 miles. |
