" Hic Iacet D-na Margareta regis Scotiae fili quondam Comitissa de Douglas Dna Gallovidiae et vallis Annandiae" - In Several parts of the building or ruin there are sculptored figures (but now much defaced) representing the arms of the Douglass family and other noblemen.

[Notes] -- Upon the farm of Terreglestown about a mile to the east
of the church there was at one time a village of considerable
extent. Its population is said to have amounted to about
380. The pavement of the street is still seen and extends
a considerable length -- Stat. Acct [Statistical Account] of Kirkcudbright 1845- Page 233
In 1510 Andrew Lord Herries of Terregles obtained a New charter
of his estates and this charter erected the village of Terregle's
into a Burgh of Barony to be called Herries. -- Regist. Mag. Sig. [Registrum Magni Sigilli] 23.84
The village still continues however to be called by its ancient name -- Chalmer's Caledonia Vol [Volume] III Page 336 |

OLD BRIDGE |
Old Bridge |
James McAdam Market Street Maxwellton
J. Reddick Howgate street Maxwellton |
027 |
An old Bridge consisting of 6 Semicircular arches. It was built in the 13 century by Devorgille daughter of Allan Lord of Galloway & mother of John Balliol King of the Scots. Since its first foundation it has undergone many repairs. It first Consisted of 9 arches 3 of these having been taken down to widen the street along the river on the Dumfries side Fears being entertained that it was in a tottering State A project was formed in 1789 to build a new bridge which was carried into effect. So this bridge cannot be passed by cars or any vehicle as it is ascended by a flight of steps on the Dumfries side. It is Still in a firm Condition
["The] original dimensions of the bridge were - length 400 feet breadth within the parapets 13 feet 6 inches in width; The parapets included 16 ft 2 Inches height from the top of the parapet to the water 26 feet. Upon the bridge [is a] Small gate Called the Port which was considered as the boundary between Nithsdale & Galloway; there being 6 arches of the [bridge] within the latter & three within the former. About the year 1769 this gate was taken down in order to lessen the weght on the bridge"

RIVER NITH |
River Nith |
|
027 |
This River is of considerable note, it rises in the S.W. [South West] end of the Parish of New Cumnock in Ayrshire and runs through the Western part of Dumfrieshire and finally discharges itself into the Solway Frith. It divides the Counties of Kirkcudbrightshire & Dumfrieshire from its mouth to a little N. [North] of Dumfries where the River Cluden joins it, which then becomes the boundary. For a long course it appears in dry summer weather only a small Rivulet, but when rain falls abundantly it swells into an object of grandeur and terror by the rapidity of its current furiously tears up its banks and sweeps them away. Dumfries is nearly at the most Southern part where it has ever been fordable and becomes navigable from this Port to its influx to the Solway Frith. The vessels plying up the River are from 30 to 80 tons burden, chiefly employed in bringing Coals and Lime from Cumberland & provisions etc to & from Liverpool.
The River produces Salmon, Trouts, Flounders, Pikes, Eels, and a Species somewhat larger than Herrings called Hirlings. |
