This Old diKe or Rampart is first visible issuing out of Loch Ryan in Wigtownshire upon the farm of Beoch, and traversing Galloway for about 57 Miles over hill &. Dale. enters Dumfrieshire and joins the "Britton Wall" after which it runs into the Solway Frith. Mr Train of Castle Douglas (an Antiquarian of Some note) traced it through Galloway. which he Mentions that "upon some elevated spots over which it runs. remains of Watch Towers are yet visible. he also states that it is invariably 8 feet at the base. &. has a fosse at its North or inland Side." This I find to be incorrect as regards the portion of it which passes through Craignell Craigenbay etc. etc. Mr Train is also in error in Stating that it runs through the farms of Craigencallie &. Garrary as it passes some distance South of those farms. This diKe runs in an Easterly direction through the farm Tolnotry Landerghie &. Craignell till it meets the BlacK Water of Dee a little North of the Old Bridge of Dee - See for further description in Plan 23A. |

A large tract of Moss on the farm of Clatteringshaws, on which King Robert Bruce had an engagement with the English army. - - On the previous night or So "Bruce was Lodging in a Widow's house in Craigencallie. in the morning the Widow Suspected him to be a person of RanK or eminence, And Modestly asKed him if he was her Leidge Lord -. His answer was yes and also asKed her if She had any Sons to serve him in his distress. (Her answer was) she had three Sons to three different husbands, which she cheerfully ascented that they Should Serve him, (The 3 Sons appears to have had been well used with the Bow and Arrow. McKie, the eldest, let fly an Arrow at two Ravens, perching upon the pinacle of a rocK above the house, and shot them through both their heads. At which the King smiled, saying, I would not wish he aimed at him. Murdoch, the 2nd. Son. let fly at one upon the Wing and, shot him through the Body, but McLurg. the third Son had not so good Success.) At this time the English upon the pursuit of King Robert. were encamped in Moss Raploch, King Robert observing them, maKes the three young men aguainted that his forces were much inferior (only 300 in all) upon which they advised the King to a Stratagem that they would gather all the horses &. Goats Wild and tame in the neighbourhood, and let them be Surrounded &. Kept all in a body on an adjacent hill by his Soldiers in the after noon of the day, which accordingly was done - The neighing of the horses & with the horns of the Goats made the English apprehend there to be a great army so durst not venture out of their Camp that night and by the BreaK of day, The King with his Small army attacKed them with Such fury that they fled precipitantly & a great number of them Killed. On this moss is a large Granite Stone on which Bruce reclined, Called Bruces Stone or the King's Stone. - |
