This parish forms the southern extremity of the County of Lanark, it is about miles in extent from north to south, and 8 miles from east to west, it is bounded on the north and and north-east by the parishes of Lamington and Wandel, and Culter, on the east by the parishes of Drummelzier, and Tweedsmuir, in Peeblesshire, and Moffat, and Kirkpatrick Juxta; on the south, south-west, and west, by the parishes of Closeburn, Morton, Durrisdeer, and Sanquhar in Dumfriesshire, and on the north-west by the parish of Crawfordjohn. There are no portions of detached parishes contained within the boundaries of this parish, nor is any portion of it detached in any other parish.
Part of this parish was at one time called 'Douglas Moor' and the other part 'Friar Moor'.
"The confines of this large and mountainous territory on the south and west are the marches between Strathclyde on the one hand, and Annandale and Nithsdale on the other. The waters that have their rise in its heights, uniting near the middle of the parish form the Clyde, which swelled by tributaries from the right and from the left become a river before it reach the Castle of Crawford. The loftiest of the hills is about 2450 feet above the sea level. The mines of Crawford have been famous for many centuries. They are mentioned, as has been seen, in charters of the reign of King Alexander II."

Crawford Parish continued:-
these names are now obsolete, they were derived from the names of the proprietors of the ground, Viz., the family of Douglas and the Monks of Newbottle (Newbattle?). The parish is now broken up into small estates, the principal proprietors of which are the Earl of Hopetoun, and Sir E. Colbrooke Bart.
"Crawford is supposed by antiquarians to signify the road or passage of blood. This derivation seems natural from the circumstance of the old Roman road passing through the village and crossing the River Clyde below it, towards the old Castle of Crawford, which stands on the right bank of the river, where it is probable many bloody conflicts took place between the invaders and the native inhabitants. Part of the parish was formerly known by the name of Douglas Moor, and part of it by that of Friars Moor, but the district or parish is now designated Crawford Muir. There are two farms in the corner of Lanarkshire, attached to the parish of Moffat in Dumfriesshire Quoad Sacra. This parish abounds with springs of the purest water. Two of these send forth mineral waters resembling those of Moffat. Notwithstanding the extent of the parish the arable ground is very limited, being not more than 1200 acres. As the parish is chiefly pastoral, it is difficult to say to what extent improvements might be carries on with advantage to the tenants. Mining district of Leadhills - the mines are of considerable celebrity, and have in all probability been worked from a very remote period, although the written documents reach no farther back than the year 1600. Silver is contained in the lead, but in too small a quantity to repay its extraction. Gold is found in all our neighbouring streams disseminated in minute particles through the till or clay more immediately covering the rocks, and also occasionally interspersed with quartz."

"but as a military post this is certainly the least defensible I have met with being completely commanded within easy arrow flight by the high grounds which encircles it on the south and east. During the quarrying operations referred to, a small cairn was taken down, and beneath it two rude stone cists were found. One of these contained an urn in capital presentation about half full of ashes and calcined bones. It is of a yellow earthenware very slightly if at all glazed, and measures six inches in height, five in diameter at the bulge, and three at the bottom. The same pattern as at the bulge repeated inside the top to a depth of half an inch.. In the same cist if not within the urn, were also found two spear heads and a bracelet of bronze; the latter especially being a splendid specimen of verd antique. The exterior surface is round, the interior flattened. Its internal diameter is two and three-eighths inches; the external being two and seven-eighths. These reliques are preserved by Mr. Sim of Cultermains." (On the ancient Camps of the Upper War of Lanarkshire by G.V. Irving Esqr. F.A.S) |

This camp is situated on a small knoll or spur of that part of the Castle Hill called Ritchie Ferry, on the S.E. side, and on the side of the Roman Road which passes through the Raggengill Hass, and about 23 chains north from the supposed junction of the roads leading out of Nithsdale and Annandale, the Camp has a peculiar appearance on the ground, the N.W. side is defended by a ditch and rampart, which can be easily traced on the ground, and there is a slight appearance of a portion of a second rampart on the extreme north, the appearance of the south side would lead to the suggestion, that if there had been a rampart here it had been very |

Camp continued:-
slight, and can be only very faintly seen at present, this side of the knoll is steepest, and facing the open country, from which the defenders of the Camp could not have been easily surprised. The N.W. side of the Camp is opposite to a gradual and easy descent from the heights above, from which the Camp might have been carried by surprise and a quick charge of light infantry, this may account for the fortifications having been made stronger on the side facing the hills, and having little or no defence on the side facing the road and open country.
"Over looking the point near the Castle of Crawford, where these three roads may be supposed to unite we find another Camp, situated on a small spur of the hill, of a low elevation, and separated from the mass of the mountain by a very gentle hollow. It is only fortified by a single rampart which on the south side facing the Clyde, is now very indistinct. It is an irregular oval of 349 feet by 120, and is destitute of water."

This Camp is situated on a small knoll at the south base of the Castle Hill and like the Camp on Trace 5.47.2 is defended by a ditch and rampart on the side facing the heights, with little or no defence on the side facing the open country, except the natural steepness of the knoll on that side. The rampart and ditch on the N.W. side are in good preservation and can easily be traced on the ground, but on the south east side, the rampart, (if there has been one,) is very slight and faint, and it would be difficult to state whether the faint trace of a defence here, is natural or artificial; on the north side and in the in |

Camp continued:-
-terior of the Camp the ground is higher than the rampart. There is a very faint trace of a slight embankment of an ovate shape on the west side, and about 60 feet from the Camp, but its meager appearance would lead to the suggestion that it had no connection with the Camp as a place of defence.
"This Camp occupies one of a number of small knolls at the foot of the hill. It is remarkable from the small detached fortification on the west side, and also from the fact that on the north the ground in the interior of the Camp rises abruptly much higher than the rampart. It does not possess the advantage of any supply of water within its precincts." (On the ancient Camps of the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire by G.V. Irving Esqr. F.A.S. |

The ruins of the Castle stand on a knoll in a plantation near the side of the River Clyde. It is surrounded by a Moat the traces of which are quite distinct, and though no part of the Drawbridge remains, it is evident, from the appearance of the ground, that it stood over the Moat at the present entrance. A considerable portion of the wall still remains, the most entire part is about 35 feet in height and 5 feet in thickness. Underneath the small rectangular part on the east there has been an arched vault which is now partly destroyed. There are |

Crawford Castle continued:-
Three stones in the garden of the farm of Castle Mains which were taken from the ruins of the Castle. The largest bears the inscription, 1649, with Armorial bearings, which the minister states to be those of the Earl of Selkirk and built into the Castle when it was repaired in that year. The other two are much smaller and bear no dates but seem to be, from their appearance, much older than the other. A sketch of the inscriptions on the stones will be found on the margin of this trace.
Charter continued:-
"between the burn of Powtrail and the Water of Daer, at the southern extremity of the parish, on condition that they should cause each of the Chapels of Saint Thomas the Martyr beside the castle of Crawford, and of Saint Lawrence the Martyr at the Byr (apparently in East Lothian) to be served by one monk or secular priest and should uphold the buildings and appointments of the chapels."

Tower of Lindsay or Crawford Castle continued:-
It is stated by some of the elder villagers that the Castle was in much better condition about thirty years ago, so much so, that the country people held balls and had other amusements in some of the apartments. Tower Lindsay, as mentioned in the Old and New Statistical accounts as having existed previous to the present Castle, is considered by the Minister of the Parish, who gave the information for the New Statistical
Account, to be either a part of the present building or that the present Castle is built on the site of Tower Lindsay, He also states ...
Note from Origines Parochiales Scotiae :
"Notice of the castle of Crawford is found so early as between the years of 1175 and 1178. It is described by Wishaw at the beginning of the last century as a square court with much lodging in it, lying upon the River Clyde, just opposite to the Kirk and town of Crauford. It had its hereditary captain or constable." (Origines Parochiales Scotiae P.170). |

Crawford Castle continued:-
that he considers the Chapel to have been within the Castle but cannot state the particular part, but information regarding the Castle is very vague and difficult to obtain. "The old Castle of Crawford or Tower Lindsay bears every mark of having been strongly fortified and surrounded by water. There are various traditions regarding it but none of them seem to be particularly interesting." New Statistical Account.
Note from Old Statistical Account.
"Tower Lindsay, which is adjacent to the village on the other side of the Clyde, was no doubt, a fortified place. The present Castle scarcely deserves the name, but the ancient tower was famous even in the days of Wallace." - (Old Statistical Act. Vol. 4 P.515). |

BODSBERRY HILL |
Bodsberry Hill, Camp, Well. |
G.V. Irving Esqr. F.A.S. (Newton Ho.), Joseph Keir (Newton Ho.), William Graham (Bodsberry End). |
047.14 |
A considerable hill on the road from Carlisle to Glasgow, and the Roman Road, leading out of Annandale into Clydesdale. The whole of the summit of this hill is occupied with a camp of an irregular form containing two small mounds and a well and defended on the north west side by two ramparts and on the S.E. and N. sides by a single rampart. The ramparts of this Camp are not in good preservation but they can be easily traced on the ground.
"The top of the hill forms a flat plateau of considerable extent which is occupied by the first camp I have to describe. The whole of the plateau is occupied by the fortification, which consists of a single rampart.On the north east side facing the ravine, and on the south and south east above the Clyde the hill is so precipitous as to be inaccessible in a military point of view. At one part on the east the access, though still difficult, is of an easier nature, and here there is a gate through which the road must have entered if it crossed the hill. At the gate on the south west the access is course than at the last described, so much so indeed, that one can hardly conceive what could be the use of a gate at that place; on the north and north west howence the hill slopes very gently, and we find thus in consequence |

Bodsberry Hill continued :-
this quarter of the Camp is defended by a second rampart and ditch. There are here gates through both intrenchments, and from them a Roman road can clearly and unequivocally be traced descending the hill. In the interior of the Camp a draw well has been sunk, which, from its position on the top of a hill of considerable elevation, is evidence of no small engineering skill. There are also two Mounds, but I am not prepared to say they are artificial. As a military post this is one of great strength and importance. It commands a most extensive view, not only of the course of the Clyde, but of the road into Annandale, and from the nature of the ground must have been almost impregnable before the invention of gunpowder. The camp is certainly not a rectangle, of an irregular form, and from this it may be urged that it is not a Roman fortification but I think this is clearly rebutted by the fact that an undoubted Roman road leads directly into it, and we must not forget that it occupies the whole of the plateau, and that the attempt to inscribe a rectangle within the , would have destroyed the security of the Camp, because, had this been done, the extreme suddenness and steepness of the descent would have enabled a light armed enemy to have established himself in a perfect and secure cover within a few feet of the base of the rampart.". In alluding to the Well in the camp on Bodsberry Hill in the Cissbury papers Mr. Irving reports as follows. "I therefore determined to have it opened, and have now to direct your attention to the most interesting results (see Trace attached.) The depression visible on the surface was twenty seven feet in diameter, five feet deep in the centre, and situated at the lowest point of the plateau occupied by the Camp, by cutting into it we soon came to signs of the presence of water, and on reaching the depth of two and a half feet we |

Well continued:-
discovered that a circular basin had been formed in the rock, nine feet in diameter and five in depth; the marks of the tool were distinctly visible on its side. To prevent the escape of the water through its slaty and porous formation it was lined throughout with a coating of blue clay four inches thick, which had been prepared with the greatest care, in fact, made as smooth as that used by a sculptor, and this ingenious contrivance is rendered more curious by the fact that no clay of this quality could be obtained within the distance of thirty or forty miles. The basin was found full of excellent water, and after it had been emptied for the purpose of inspection, it filled again in the course of the succeeding night and day, also though the examination was made after a long season of dry weather." (On the ancient camps of the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire & Cissbury - by G.V. Irving Esqr. F.A.S.)
"Some large camps apparently Roman have likewise been traced in the parish of Crawford one on Bodsberry hill and another on the farm of White-Camp, but, as little or nothing can further be said about them, we may now proceed to take a cursory view of the few military works which are to be seen upon the line of the branch road already mentioned." (Caledonia Roman. P. 235).
"There are two or three apparently old Roman camps in the parish, the one that is most entire, and the largest, is on Boudsberry hill." (New Statistical Act. P. 331) |

Gold Scours continued:-
"gold at Long Cleuch as would have maintained three times as many men as he kept royally. From Short Cleuch he removed up the great hill to Long Cleuch Head, to seek gold in solid places; where of he discovered a small spring, but there he wanted a water course to help him. Thus vein had the Sappar stone plentifully in it, which sometimes held natural gold, but the salmoneer stones at Long Cleuch Head held much silver, and may prove a ... mine if followed by such as know the nature of minerals. It is said that vein was po...ed with gold, called small powdered gold. It was a vein and not a bed. The removed from Short Cleuch trial to Long Cleuch Head because the workmen found two pieces of gold there within two feet of the Moss. The one was reported to weight 6 ounces and the other better than five, which was thought to descend from the gold bed. At Long Cleuch head as I heard it reported and saw a piece of the same, was found a piece of brown spar, somewhat like sugar candy, which after it was broken , had in it an ounce of pure gold, which spar as I suppose is called the sappar stone in foreign nations. This brown spar weighed two pounds troy. At Long Cleuch Head Mr. Bulmer made a stamping mill, called abroad , anacanago. Such are used in the West Indies, and in Cornwall, where it is sometimes called a plash mill to dress tin out of stones, in which the eye can discern little or nothing. By the same means Mr. Bulmer used to get much small meally gold at Long Cleuch." (P.148.149). Secretary Davidson's account of the coinage seems to be correct, for a large gold coinage did take place in the reigns of James IV. and James V., but of Mary's reign there was only a coinage of the early year. These coins were popularly known as bonnet pieces, and were always reported to be the produce of Crawford Moor gold nor does there seem to seem to be any reason to discredit the legend." P. 134.

GOLD FORMERLY WROUGHT HERE [Windgate Burn] |
Gold formerly wrought here |
John Gill, James Martin M.D. |
049.08 |
"At long Cleuch Head running into Elvan Water, some miners two years ago got as much gold as sold at Glasgow for £42." (Dr. Martin of Leadhills says that this is a mistake and that the words Windgate Burn should be substituted for Long Cleuch Head, for it was on the Banks of the Windgate Burn where the gold mentioned was found.) "I was told this, on account of its purity, was used for glass and porcelain gilding. Gold digging is followed only as a holiday amusement by the miners, and the working is very rudely performed. The gold is chiefly sold as specimens at double the price.
Gerard Malynes says writing in |

in 1622, that the Crawford Moor gold was above seventy two carats fine, so that it has to be presumed he had access to some assay. Of individual specimens from this district one is mentioned as weighing thirty ounces, or two pounds and a half.* The Earl of Hopetoun had one weighing an ounce and a half or two ounces.** Boyle mentions nuggets severally of eight pennyweights nine grains, three pennyweights twenty-one grains, and three pennyweights three grains.*** Mr Atkinson however, mentions six ounces and five ounces. The largest nuggets now got weigh about two sovereigns, but they are rare." (P.167. 168)(On the gold rocks of Great Britain and Ireland by John Calvert of Australia, Mineral Surveyor 1853.)

The most remarkable document as to the Crawford Moor mines is unfortunately only a fragment , and causes with regret the want of the whole document, which is evidently drawn up with great minuteness. Who is the author is not stated; but from internal evidence he must be one of the parties connected with Sir Bevis Bulmer's enterprise, and most probably that gentleman, unless it was one of Cornelius De Vos's colleagues, the date is perhaps from 1578 to 1600. It is in the Cottonian M.S.S., and marked .... Ex, being the burnt remains of a manuscript on the Crawford Moor Mines.

"In Wanlock, Elwand, and Glengonnar I won my riches and my honour."
"In Spier moor in Glengonnar Water, in Clydesdale, Mr. Bulmer got store of gold, and there he built a very fair country house where he kept great hospitality. He purchased ground about it for cattle. By help of a water course, he got much straggling gold on the skirts of the hills and in the valleys, but none in solid places which kept him in great pomp, keeping open house to all comers, as is reported."(P.148) See Gold Scours (On the gold rocks of Great Britain and Ireland by J.

About two miles further up the Grains burn, and at the bottom of the glen which passes the Shepherd's house of Crimp Cramp a coin of Vespasian was found some years ago.

Camp continued:-
*Supposed to be Roman in origin, and to have joined another road in Peeblesshire.
"It is highly probable that the road was here also joined by another branch from the upper part of Peebleshire, although traces of this are found in several places, I have not been able to trace accurately its course. It follows the valley of the Camp till that stream separates into two branches, when it ascends to the high grounds between them and inclines to the left along the heights above that branch which is known as the Grains Burn. On the side of the hill immediately above the junction of the two streams, and on a sort of knob or prominence, a very strong and elaborately fortified Camp is met with. There is no water in its precincts, and the road passes to its right, but bends as above stated after passing it. |

THis was originally the homestead for the farm of Glengeith and from the appearance of the Ruins seems to have been a place of considerable strength built in a small glen near the Glengeith Burn, there is nothing left of the original house but the vault it is built of rough whinstone slabs strongly cemented together after the style of the Medieval Castles. Tradition states that the vaults in these ancient houses were used for the concealment and Security of Cattle during the Feudal Times, and that the dwelling house was always placed above the vault, so that the inhabitants could hear if any attempt was made to Steal the cattle during the hours of darkness. G.V. Irving Esqr F.R.S. of Newton House, says these places should be regarded more as Ancient Peels than Farm houses for they were used as much for the concealment of Stolen Cattle as for protection of bona fide property. |

On the farm of Upper Howecleuch at the south base of Williemont near the Fopperbeck Burn, stood previous to the year 1836 a large cairn. It was demolished during that year and the stones used to make a stone wall; the cairn contained 200 cart loads of stones, and under these stones was found on the 12th June 1836 an Urn, it was of the shape and size of sketch and description shown; and contained Jaw Bones with teeth entire, Scalp of Head, Rib Bones &c., by the side of the Urn was deposited a small jug or drinking cup |

The Urn, Drinking Cup and Horse Shoe were deposited in a circular built grave, 4 feet wide and 9 feet deep, and pounded all around with fine clay leading from the bottom of the grave was a built drain for the apparent purpose of keeping the place dry (see Sketch). Large quantities of wood char were found among the stones over the grave, and from the appearance of the stones, it is thought that the bones had been charred on the place. |

"Proceeding thence along the west bank of the Annan, it leads to the intrenchments at Lassies-holm, which we have likewise supposed to have been a camp of Agricola, it continues along the ridge between these two rivers till it falls in with the sources of the Clyde at a place called Little Clyde, where there has been another square redoubt." (Roy P.104)
"The Iter must now, in its course north-eastward, have ascended Erickstane-brae, and passing along this ridge that separates Annandale from Clydesdale, it must have fallen in with the sources of the Clyde; and descending a little lower, it must have arrived at a Roman post at Little Clyde, upon the track of the Roman road.

Note continued:-
"is about one and thirty miles from from Burrenswark hill. And it is more than probable, that this was the site of Gadonica, in the ninth Iter, the Colanica of Richard's map, and the Colania of Ptolonny a town of the Damnii, which both concur, in placing on the south-eastern corner of their extensive territories. From this post which corresponds exactly with the Damnian town, on Little Clyde the Iter must have proceeded in a north-east direction, along the south-east side of Clydesdale to the remarkable burn, which the Clyde make opposite to Biggar, from this position, it woulf naturally proceed, in a northerly course along the eastern side of the river to Caer-stairs, the Coria of the Iter, another town of the Damnii which is four and twenty miles, from the Colania, on Little Clyde. At this place is the Roman Station of Castle-dykes" (Chalmers Caledonia, Vol. 1. P. 121)
"A small Castellum is said, indeed to have formerly stood at a place called Little Clyde, very near the source of that river." (Caledonia Romana, P. 235.)
"The temporary camps, like the permanent stations of the Romans are in general to be met with in the neighbourhood of their military ways. When not called upon to follow an enemy into the depths of the forests, the march of the legions was always, of course along the beaten track, and their encampments were formed at as small a distance |

[Situation] General description of the supposed line of the Roman Road, from Annandale into Clydesdale, from the point where it enters the County of Lanark and Parish of Crwaford until it passes into Lamington Parish near Abington Railway Station.
The supposed Roman Road out of Annandale into Clydesdale enters Lanarkshire at the foot of a small hill known as the Black [Lype] which forms the N.E. [North East] extremity of a range which is well known as the Black Fell, it here skirts a piece of boggy ground known as Annanhead Moss, and for a distance of 30 chains runs nearly parallel with the old [Trust] or Mail Road, on the South side thereof; it crosses the latter near the Hassock Well and gradually ascends the Divoty Knowes, a small undulating hill on the farm of Raecleuch, which it skirts on the N.E. [North East] side, and descends on the N. [North] where it crosses |

Roman Road continued:-
the fork of two small burns known as Rowantree Grains and March Burn, and bending to the west appears to have been adopted by the Engineers, as the line for the more modern Trust Road, (from the point where it enters the parish to the point last mentioned the road is in good preservation as an antiquity and can be easily traces on the ground and appears to have been cut and partly laid with stones) which line it continues for about 20 chains, the Trust Road here leaves the line of the Roman Road, which begins to gradually ascend Errickstane Hill, which it crosses at a considerable elevation and about 10 chains from the top, descending this hill on the N.W. side it crosses the Fopperbeck Burn, and gradually ascends the south shouldr of Nap Hill, which it crosses at a considerable elevation, and descending on the S.W. side is again used as the line for the Old Trust Road. (It can be easily traced along the route last described and appears to have been cut and partly laid with stones). And is apparently used as the line for that road from Upper Howecleuch to Bodsberry End, where the Old Trust Road and modern Trust Road from Carlisle to Glasgow join. G.V.Irving Esqr. in his paper on the Ancient Camps of the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire. |

Roman Road continued:-
states "that the Roman Road either crossed the top of Bodsberry Hill or passed through the defile at the N.E. base of the hill". Diligent search has been made over and around this hill, but, no trace or track of a road can now be seen to justify this assertion, and the ground here has never been cultivated. At Bodsberry End all trace of the old road is lost, and the modern road appears to be on the site of the old road until it arrives at the milestone which indicates Glasgow 43 and Carlisle 57 and a half miles, here can be distinctly traced the track of an old road about 20 feet to the west of the modern road, with which it runs parallel through the plantations, garden and lodge of newton House, and crossing the slackyard, and passing partly through another plantation, appears to run tangent with the embankment on the west side of the modern trust road from near Elvanfoot Toll to within 173 feet of where the modern road takes a sharp turn to the west to cross the New Bridge over the Clyde (From the milestone mentioned above to this point it is in some places defaced, and at others very faintly see, it was pointed out partly by Mr. Irving, and Joseph Keir, and described partly by William Cranstoun and partly by John Russell, the whole |

of these men are old residents of the neighbourhood). At 173 feet from where the modern road turns west to cross the New Bridge, the track of the old road can be plainly seen, and after crossing the modern road, runs along a stone wall for about half a mile, where it leaves the wall and winds along the east bank of the River Clyde. From the point where the road leaves the wall to a distance of about a mile the track of the road is very faint, but by probing for stones &c. it can easily be made out. Opposite Glespin Poll the road is again well defined, and can easily be traced past Bellstone Craig to the edge of Midlock Water. Some people suppose that it went round by Midlock Mill and returned past where the present house of Midlock stands, and again turning to the N.W. crossed the Camps Water, and joined the Roman Road out of Nithsdale about 8 chains west from Crawford Castle (The track of the road can easily be traced up the edge of Midlock Water, but the filed on the opposite side of the water has been ploughed &c. and no trace of the road can be seen through it, but it is more than probable that the road took the route as indicated by the yellow dotted line (see Trace 3-47-6) but information on this point is very vague and not to be relied upon). From the point of junction of the two roads, the Road runs along a stone fence and wire paling, leaving which it passes through a small plantation, and passes through the Raggan Gill, a pass of considerable elevation and enters the Parish of Lamington near Abington Railway Station. The road is well defined and can be easily traced along the route last described. |

Roman Road continued:-
"Leaving this, it continues along the Annan till that river is joined by its tributary the Evan. Crossing the latter it ascends to the high ground on its right bank, along which and bending to the left up the course of that stream, it proceeds till it enters the County of Lanark. This it does before reaching the summit, as several farms though lying on the Dumfriesshire side of the height and belonging to that county in ecclesiastical matters form Quoad Civilia part and portion of Lanarkshire; an anomaly which may be accounted for by their having at one time belonged to the powerful family of Douglas. On reaching the summit, it passes the almost insignificant elevation which here divides the Evan from a tributary of the Clyde, called Clydes Burn, which it crosses near the farmhouse of Little Clyde. Leaving Little Clyde, the Roman Road descends the right bank of Clydes Burn till it approaches the foot of Bodsberry hill, when it begins gradually to ascend from the stream. This hill forms the last of the range of hills which abut on the the valley of the Clyde. It is comparatively isolated being cut off from the others by a precipitous ravine. Most persons have supposed that the Roman Road proceeded round the south side of this hill betwixt is and the Clyde, but this I am able to state psoitively is a mistake, and that it either passed through the ravine above |
OS1/21/18/208 |
|
|
|
|
|
Roman Road continued:-
"mentioned or crossed the top of the hill; and I may add that it may have taken both of the latter courses. The top of this hill forms a flat plateau of considerable extent which is occupied by a Camp." (See description of Camp Plan 47.14). "On the north and north west the hill slopes very gently and we find in consequence that this part of the Camp is defended by a second rampart and ditch. There are here gates through both entrenchments, and from there a Roman road can clearly and unequivocally be traced descending the hill. Descending from this hill the Roman road clearly and distinctly marked, continues in a north west direction along the right bank of the Clyde, at a little distance from that river. In the bed of the Shilling Cleuch Burn, one of the tributaries which it crosses, a Roman camp kettle was found about forty years ago but having been appropriated by the finder to domestic putposes it has long been lost sight of. The road continues in the same direction for about three miles till after crossing the Midlock and Camp Water, it reaches the base of a hill which projects from the main range, and causes a considerable deflection in the course of the river. At this point which is in the immediate vicinity of the Castle of Crawford it is rejoined by the branch which separated |
OS1/21/18/209 |
|
|
|
|
|
Roman Road continued:-
"from it at Dryffe Church in Dumfriesshire. From the point of junction the united road bends a little to the right till it reaches the mouth of the Raggen or Ragged Gill a pass of considerable elevation, which cuts off the projecting part of the hill. Traversing this it again descends to the banks of the Clyde, near the boundary of the parishes of Crawford and Lamington. After entering the parish of Lamington the Roman road continues to descend the right bank of the Clyde between that river and the hill." (On the Ancient Camps of the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire by George Vere Irving Esqr. Reprinted from the Journal of the Archaeological Association.)
"The Roman road now proceeded along the west branch of the Annan, leading by the entrenchment at Lassies-holm; and having passed the Avon near its conflux with the Annan, it pursued its course along the ridge, between these two rivers, and ascended Erickstane-brae, and passing the remarkable ridge, which sends out the Annan, the Tweed, and the Clyde, it soon arrived on the upper branch of this river, at a place that is named Little Clyde, where the Romans had a small post. The Roman road thence coursing the right bank of the Clyde, by Newton, that is opposite to Elvanfoot, appears to have been joined by the branch, which went off from its track to the westward in Annandale, near Crawford Castle, at the foot of Camp Water*. From this remarkable position, where we have just perceived both the branches of the Roman road again join their accustomed track, it pursued the shortest course over the high grounds of

Roman Road continued:-
"of Crawford parish; and then descending from this elevation into the valley of the Clyde, it passed by Gateside, and Catchapel, where there is a square redoubt towards Lamington." (Chalmer's Caledonia Vol. 1. P.134)
"Proceeding thence along the west bank of the Annan, it leads to the entrenchments at Lalliesholm which we have likewise supposed to have been a Camp of Agricola, and Having passes the Avon near its conflux with the Annan, it continues along the ridge between these two rivers, till it falls in with the sources of the Clyde at a place called Little Clyde, where there has been another square redoubt; thence continuing the right bank of the Clyde, by Newton, opposite to Elvinfoot, it seems to have been joined by the branch which quitted it in Annandale, at or near Crawford Castle, situated at the foot of Camp Water. The road having thus united with the Nithsdale branch, takes the shortedt course over the hill, and then descends into the valley of the Clyde." (Roy P.104)
"We meet with nothing else deserving of notice on this division of the Roman Way, until it again meets at Crawford Castle, with the branch which diverged to the west at Gallaberry Hill. A small castellum is said, indeed to have formerly stood at a place called Little Clyde, very near the source of that river." (Caledonia Romana P. 235)
"The two great Roman roads by Moffat and Dumfries had their junction in this parish which when formed into one great road, passed on towards Lamington." (New Stat. Act. P.331.) |

This name applies to the remains of what was once a large cairn, the tradition in the neighbourhood is very vague about this, some state that one of the Covenanters was put to death by being rolled from the top of Tomont Hill in a burning tar barrel and the Cairn marks the spot where the barrel stopped; others state, that a man named Geordie was burnt here for committing an unnatural crime. David Baird states that when the cairn was pulled down in 1848 some Charred wood was found at the bottom but no bones, the Cairn contained about 100 cart loads of Stones which were taken to make stone fences, a small Cairn built by the Shepherds now marks the place. |

The tradition of the neighbourhood is, that the site marked is the place where the undermentioned engagement took place.
"By one of the resolutions common in those days, Maxwell was soon after restored to the King's favour, and obtained in his turn the Wardenship of the West Marches. A bond of alliance was subscribed by him and by Lord James Johnstone, son and heir of the late Lord Johnstone, and for some time the two clans lived in harmony; but, in the year 1593, the hereditary feud was revived on the following occasion:- Johnston of Wamphray, a relation of |

|
|
Site of Battle continued:-
"Lord Johnstone with a few friends, went to Nithsdale and brought away a horse belonging to Crichton of Sanquhar; but Crichton, with some friends, pursued and took Johnstone prisoner and hanged him on a tree, which happened to be near the place where he was taken. Along with the Laird of Wamphray was a nephew of his, called William Johnstone, but more commonly styles Willie of Kirkhill, from the place where he dwelt. This Willie of Kirkhill escaped from the Crichtons, got home to Wamphray, and vowing revenge for his Uncle's death, raised a powerful band of Johnstones, and again going over to Nithsdale, swept the country of cattle for a long way, driving all before them that they could find; on which Crichton of Sanquhar and Douglas of Drumlanrig, raising what followers they could muster, came up with the Johnstones at a place called the Biddes-burn* (a rivulet which takes its course among the mountains on the confines of Nithsdale and Annandale) where a desperate battle took place, in which the Nith men were completely defeated, and the Johnstones carried off the spoil." Minstrelry of the Scottish Borders.
"And thro' the Crichtons Willie he ran,
And dang them down both horse and man;
O but the Johnstones were wond'rous rude,
When the Biddes-burn ran three days blood.
As they came in at Evan-head
At Rackshaw-holm they spread Abreast,
Drive on my lads it will be late,
We'll have a pint at Wamphray gate."- Minstrelry of the Scottish Border.
*Biddes-burn - this may be accounted for by the provincialism, the people here pronounce "Bidhouse" as if it were written Biddes. |

A name which applies to an old road leading from Troloss Toll to Durisdeer. It has all the appearance of having been laid with stones but at the present time it is in bad repair. This road is considered to be part of the original Roman Road leading out of Niths Dale into Clydes Dale.
"The two great Roman Roads by Moffat and Dumfries had their junction in this Parish, which when formed into one great road passed on towards Lamington." (Chalrs. Caleda. Vol. 1, Page 121.).
"At this point which is in the immediate vicinity of the Castle of Crawford it is rejoined by the branch which seperated from it at Dryffe Church in Dumfriesshire. This branch after crossing the country from the valley of the Annan to that of the Nith, ascends the latter river and its tributary the Carron with its feeder the Durisdeer Burn, and enters Lanarkshire by the Well Path. On the Dumfriesshire side of the pass and not far from the top there is a camp. |

Roman Road continued:-
On entering the upper ward, it descends the left bank of the Potrail, the Daer, and the Clyde, which however may be as a continuation of the same river, till it arrives at the village of Crawford, where a portion of it is well known as Watling Street. Here it crosses the river by the Castle ford, and joins the other branch mentioned above." ("On the ancient camps of the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire, by George Vere Irving Esqr. F.A.S. Reprinted from the journal of the Archaeological Association).
"From this passage, the road continued its course, in a northerly direction, past a Roman Fort in a remarkable pass, above the Kirk at Durisdeer; from this post, it pushed through the hills by the defile, called the Wall Path; and it went down the west side of Powtrail Water to its confluence with the Daer. The road now continued its course, along the west side of the Daer, till its influx into the Clyde; and equally proceeded along the west side of the Clyde, past Elvanfoot, and Crawford Village; and then crossed the Clyde to Crawford Castle, where it joined the Annandale branch". (Chalmer's Caledonia (Vol. 1, P. 137)).
"Advancing from Tibbers Castle by the road to Clydesdale, we reach the vestiges of a quadrangular Camp, situated in a mountain pass at the distance of a mile beyond the village of Durisdeer. THis has evidently been a post of the Romans, established to protect their western line of communication, which at this place enters what must anciently have been a very wild and rugged district. Its vestiges are by no means very distinct, but the general form of the work can be tolerably well distinguished. From Durisdeer, to the village of Crawford, in Lanarkshire, near to which two Vice united, no traces of any Roman entrenchments have been discovered. Roy expected to find the remains of a camp somewhere aboutthe ruins of Crawford Castle, but was disappointed. It is, however exceedingly probable that the Romans were possessed of a military post near to this junction of the two roads.The name of the rivulet, Camps Water, which here falls into the infant Clyde may perhaps be thought to favour this opinion." (Caledonia Romana P. 236). |

At the north end of Troloss Toll and in continuation of the line of the Well Path, there can be traced on the ground what appears to have been a road, cut, and partly laid with stones. This road keeps on a line with the Well Path for about 20 chains when it gradually curves to the north east, and is joined by the modern Trust Road near Troloss Cottage. At about 5 chains north from the bridge over the Potrenick Burn, the modern road leaves the track of the old road, and joins it again about 15 chains farther to the north, proceeding northward from this for about 6 chains the modern road again leaves the line of the old road which continues in a straight line, while the modern road curves to the north-east and north until |

Roman Road continued:-
it again meets with the old road, and keeps the line of it until it crosses the bridge over the Fingland Burn, where the new road curves to the east to avoid the acclivities, but the old road continues in nearly a straight line, and can be traced on the side of the modern road for about 65 chains, where the modern road again joins the old road until it crosses the Pedden Burn, here the two roads are tangent for about 10 chains when they again join, and excepting a small portion of the old road which can be seen about 8 chains farther to the north all trace of it is lost, until the modern road crosses the bridge over Glenochar Burn near Glenochar. Here the modern road leaves the line of the old road, which can be traced on the west side of the modern road to the north-east end of Wood Brae, about 60 chains south from Glengeith Toll, where the modern road crosses the line of the old road, the track of which can be distinctly traced through the fields to the north-east over the railway, past the station and through a ford on the Elvan Water to Elvanfoot, passing through the Check Bar and winding along the west bank of the River Clyde, crosses the modern road near the point where the road from Carlisle joins it after crossing the new bridge, the old road can be traced on the west side of the modern road for about 7 chains, where the two unite and all trace of the old road is lost. It is supposed that the modern road is on the site of the old road from this point till it passes the Manse in the village of Crawford. Mr. Wm. Cranstoun of Crawford Inn, an old residenter in the locality says, that before the railway was constructed the old road could have been traced (the dotted lines on trace) to the range of houses which is still known as Watling Street, leaving which it turns to the north, crosses the River Clyde by a ford and joins the branch out of Annandale about 8 chains west from Crawford Castle.

Roman Road continued:-
"THis far have I proceeded in giving an account of the above mentioned Camps, what I am next to consider, is the Road which Agricola must have taken on his journey to Glota and Bodotria, and as there are but two roads practicable for an Army to march from these Camps into Clydesdale and Dumbartonshire, the one by Moffat, and the other through the valley of Locher Moss, by Dumfries, and Drumlanrig, I am inclinable to believe he took the latter. Viz. that by Dumfries, for a noble Roman Military Way has passed by all the above mentioned places, keeping to the right hand of Locher Moss, and Dumfries, and is to this day plain to be seen in several other tracks of that Road, particularly a little to the east of Disdeir Kirk, where the family of Queensberry lies interred, thence it runs over a great Track of high mountains two miles to the east of Entriken Pass, going through Crawford Town, keeping two miles to the east of the Lead Hills, thence runs by the Elvin Foot, thence by the side of the River Clyde to Biggar Moss, where it is very distinct."

Near the farmhouse of Kirkhope are the remains of what appears to have been a place of considerable strength about 20 feet square, buolt of unknown stones strongly cemented or grouted together, after the style of the old Norman Castles. James Hope, shepherd of the farm of Crookburn states that, "He has resided in the neighbourhood 52 years (he is now 62 years of age) his first recollection of the place is, that at that time (52 years ago) it was a square building of unknown stones about 8 feet high and 3 feet thick and went by the name of Old Tower", at intervals the walls have been pulled down to build stone walls or fences and J. Hope states that it was almost impossible to pull down the walls the stones were so strongly cemented together. The only remains now left are what happens to be the bottom of the walls standing about 3 feet above the ordinary height of the ground and partly grown over with grass. G.V. Irving Esqr. a member of the antiquarian society says that he has not seen the ruins but from what I mentioned about them he considers it to be the remains of an ancient Peel. I made enquiry of the factor Wm. Maxwell Esqr., he made farther inquiry of the farmer James Milligan who referred me to John Wilson Esqr., Nunnery not one of the last mentioned know anything about it. |
