OS1/21/19/1 CULTER [parish] Culter Parish Culter Parish Culter Parish Culter Parish Culter Parish Culter Parish Old Statistical Account New Statistical Account Fullarton's Gazetteer Chalmer's Caledonia County Maps (Forest's) Sheriff's list of Meresmen 034; 039; 040; 044 A small parish in the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire, its extent is about 7 miles from North to South, and 3 miles from East to West, and is bounded on the North by the parish of Biggar, on the East by the parishes of Kilbucho, Glenholm, and Drummelzier in Peebleshire, and on the South and West by the parishes of Crawford, Lamington and Wandel, and Symington, there is no portion of any other parish within the boundary of this parish, nor is there any portion of this parish detached, but a small portion of the former parish of Kilbucho in Peebleshire was annexed to the parish of Culter, Quoad Sacra [crossed out and Civilia inserted]. The northern portion of this parish is under cultivation, and inter..
OS1/21/19/1 Note - A portion of this parish is in the County of Peebles - a former Parish of Kilbucho in Peebleshire having in the year 1794 been suppressed by the Court of Tiends and a Large part of it added to the Parish of Culter in Lanarkshire. NS [Initialed]
OS1/21/19/1 the word Tiends refers to the Tythes of a parish. The Court or Commission of Tiends was concerned with the redistribution of parishes where the individual parishes became too small to be self supporting through the Tythes of the parish
OS1/21/19/2 seeded with fine plantations, but the Southern portion is very hilly and in some places the rocks crop for such an extent that the ground is almost barren, this district is pastoral, and is divided into sheep farms. The name of this parish is a Gaelic compound, consisting of Cul, the back part or recess, and Tir, the land or country. The village of Culter accordingly viewed from any commanding station in the adjacent valley, appears to occupy the Back part or Recess of the District. - In 1794, a decreet was given by the Lords of Council and Session suppressing the parish of Kilbucho, and annexing part of the same to that of Culter. At Wolf Clyde a curiousity may sometimes be seen, viz the Clyde running into the Tweed. The Vale of Biggar Water, which here stretches between these two rivers is but slightly elevated above the bed of the Clyde. During a flood part of the latter river sometimes finds its way into Biggar Water, and is thereby carried into the Tweed. - The sheep with which our hills are pastured are of the Short or Black faced kind. No other kind has ever been tried, as the grounds are reckoned too hard and bare for rearing a finer species' [New Statistical Account] By a sentence of the Lords Commissioners of Tiends, in the year of 1794, a considerable part of the parish of Kilbucho in Tweeddale was annexed to Culter, which it borders on the north east. The parish is a long track of land, partly level and fruitful holms, partly upland pastures, lying on the banks of Culter Water, which flowing from the South-west to the north east, falls into the Clyde. That river bounds the district on the west, its eastern limits are the Culter Fells which rise somewhat abruptly from the valley to a height, in certain points, of 2330 feet above the sea [ Origines Parochiales Scotiae]
OS1/21/19/3 TUMULUS [Wolfclyde] Tumulus Tumulus Tumulus Moat or Tumulus Mound or Moat David Dickson Esqr (Hartree) Adam Sim Esqr (Coultermains) Dr [Doctor] Sommers (Biggar) G.V. Irving Esqr F.A.S (Newton Ho [House] ) New Statistical Account 034.13 ' On the banks of the river at Wolf Clyde, there is a moat or tumulus about twenty feet high and thirty in diameter. There is also a Camp on the flat holm on the opposite side of the river' (On the ancient camps of the Upper Ward of Lanark by G.V Irving Esq) This Tumulus is fenced and planted with trees, is in a good state of preservation, and is a beautiful specimen of the ancient Tomb.

There is no water near it and being situated in a plantation the ramparts and ditch are not easily traced. It appears however to have been a rhomboid of 190 by 164 feet.' (On the ancient camps of the Upper Ward by G.V Irving Esqr) This camp is situated on the top of a gentle hill which is planted with fir trees and known as the Castle Plantation, the ramparts of the camp are slight but the formation which is rhomboidal can be easily traced on the ground. There is no trace of a ditch perceptible, and the sides of the camp to the N E and N W are slightly curved. This camp has a very meagre appearance as a place for defence,

OS1/21/19/5 QUERNS FOUND HERE [Eastfield] Querns found here Querns found here Hand Mills Adam Sim Esqr William Handyside Esqr Dr [Doctor] Sommers Alexander Gladstone (Eastfield) 034.13 There were found at this place (on the farm of Eastfield) a few days ago (March 1859) some splendid specimens of the Quern, or ancient hand mill, one of them is composed of granite finely polished, and fluted at the sides, and the hole in the top for the corn, and in the side for the stick, are very neatly cut; if not added to Mr Sim's museum, they may be seen at the farm house of Eastfield, They were found 8 or 10 inches below the surface of the ground, and some charred wood and freestone scales were turned up at the same place which would lead to the suggestion, that corn had been ground and bread baked on the spot; There are no signs, or remembrance of a house being in any way near this place, which is in a small hollow at the S.W. base of a small knoll, which was formerly a plantation the trees of which are now cut down and the ground is under cultivation, There is a faint trace through the ploughed ground of an artificial formation of an ovate shape, which Mr Gladstone thinks are the remains of a Camp, on the East side where the ground has not been ploughed, but is planted with trees, there..
OS1/21/19/6 is still standing a portion of earth-work about 4 feet high and 6 feet broad at the base, this is part of the ovate formation mentioned and what Mr Gladstone thinks is part of a camp; Mr Sim of Coulter Mains a local antiquary says that he has heard mention of a camp at this place, but is not certain about the locality. Mr Dicksonof Hartree, the proprietor of the ground, says that he distinctly remembers the plant[ation] at this place, but can not say whether the formation mentioned, was made for protecting the trees or was there before the ground was planted. [arrow to first suggestion] I think this is the more probable J.B. Major R.E.[Royal Engineers]

There is a Camp on the West end of White Hill and Mr Sim a local antiquary thinks the word Caer is derived from this.

OS1/21/19/26 HOWE GILL 040 [Near the] 'boundary of the parishes of Culter and Biggar we find on the line of the Roman Road the house of Causewayend, a most apropriate name, as the [ibes?] would here enter what was till lately the almost impassable morass of Biggar Bog. Through this it must have been impossible to carry a solid carriageway, and this portion of the road was most probably constructedof wood.' (On the ancient camps of the Upper ward of Lanarkshire by G.V.Irving Esqr of F.A.S) The united road proceeded from the Roman post near Lamington, along the right bank of the Clyde towards Biggar; but except in crossing Biggar Moss where its vestiges are very obvious, few traces of it any where appear.' Chalmers Caledonia P. 135 Vol 1) 'Hence (from Lamington) it has doubtless led still along the right bank of the Clyde; butexcepting in crossing Biggar Moss where its vestiges are discernible enough no traces of it are particularly known' (Roy P. 104) The track of the old road shewn on Plans 34.13 and 40.1 & 5, was pointed out by A Sim Esqr of Coulter Mains, who ordered one of his laborers, who knew the track, to stake it out where it is not very distinct. This is the oldest road known in the district, it was formerly used as a Mail or Trust road; and Mr Sim supposes this to be the site of the Roman Road, and says that he remembers seeing large stones taken out of the old road near Causewayend, when the Bog was drained. See Gateside and Causewayend on the site of this old road, names whichtend to verify the supposition, that this is the ancient Roman Road, and synonymous with Gateside and Causeway House on the side of the Roman Road in Lamington Parish.

Mr Sim says they are similar to those in the County of Peebles, and other parts of Scotland, about which, there has been a great deal said and written; some archaiologists consider them to have been thrown up by the ahcients, to witness the games in the valley below, after the style of the amphitheatres; others consider them to be vestiges of ancient agriculture.

The first of these is situated on the top of the hill which overlooks Culter Park on the South, and commands an extensive view and range of country. It has been but slightly fortified with a single rampart, which is now very much destroyed in places and generally very fainly marked. It is an oval of 248 by 102 feet. A road communicating with this camp is quite perceptible on the south side of the hill leading to the direction of Culter Water'.

OS1/21/19/36 Camp (Contd) This camp is situated on the South west end of Culterpark Hill, and is now under cultivation and the rampart fast disappearing. It appears to have been defended by a single rampart of considerable stability, and there is a faint appearance of a ditch at the North east end; the hill on the East side is steep, and here the ground is not cultivated but ther eis no appearance of a ditch, and the road mentioned by Mr Irving is not now traceable. The hill is isolated and commands an extensive view.

It has been more strongly fortified with two and in some places three ramparts. Both these camps must have drawn their supply of water from a small stream which runs between them' (On the ancient camps of the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire by G.V. Irving Esqr)
OS1/21/19/37 This camp is situated on the west end of Snaip hill and commands an extensive view down the valley of the Clyde; the ascent of the hill is steep especially on the East side, and the camp appears to have been strongly fortified by two ramparts on the West side, and two ramparts and a ditch on the East side, the formation of the camps is ovate, and rather peculiar looking at the North and South ends, here the ramparts converge; which may be accounted for by the rocky nature of the ground, which of itself forms a natural rampart, A regular road or path, leads from the West side of the camp in the direction of Culter Water.

Irving Esqr)
OS1/21/19/38 This camp is situated on the East slope of Snaip hill near the road leading from Culter to Birthwood; it appears to have been defended by a single rampart which has now a very meager appearance, having evidently been tampered with by the farmers searching for stones to build fences. The formation is irregular, and the ground around it is drained and under cultivation, and there is no appearance now of the streamlet mentioned by Mr Irving. This is suppoesed to be the camp mentioned by Chalmers (Vol 1.P154.155) 'Opposite Nisbet there is an undoubted remain of Roman construction, Square in its form and capacious in its contents'.

At the West the elevation is the highest, and the ascent the steepest and most abrupt, while towards the East the ground slopes gently away. On this hill is situated by far the most complicated series of fortifications I have met with. That at the west is evidently the principal, and the most strongly entrenched. The arrangements of its gates is remarkable, being situated at a different point in each rampart, so that an enemy would be exposed in passing from one to the other. The smaller entrenchment was evidently intended to prevent a hostile party from establishing itself on the high ground to the East of the larger camp, which it

OS1/21/19/47 I added this entry as it was not annoted below originally. The information continues on the next two pages.
OS1/21/19/48 might not be convenient to include in the Circle of the entrenchment, but from which the garrison might receive much annoyance. This smaller camp occupies a small eminence, and must necessarily have been carried before an attack could have been made on the principal one from the East. A clearly marked road leads to these fortifications from the same direction but cannot be traced beyond the limits of the hill itself, owing to the intervention of ploughed fields. The supply of water must have been derived from the small stream on the west of the larger fortification. These camps are known in the Country by the name of Cow or Kow Castle. Mr Sim was at first inclined to suppose that it had obtained this appellation from being a place of refuge for the cattle, but on further reflection thins that it ought rather to be traced to the Scotch word, Kow, the twigs of any shrub or plant cut and made into a bundle; thus we have the broom Kow so well known to every curler, the heather Kow, Cowden Knowes etc. I completely agree with this latter explanation, most especially as the Scotch for cattle would not be Cow, but kye'.

The small camp on the North end of the hill appears to have had one rampart only, but the ground around the campo has been ploughed, the rampart is very prominent and easily traced on the ground except for a short distance on the North end where it has been destroyed.

As all trace of it has disappeared, I copy the description of it in the Statistical Account. 'A mound of an oval shape, called the Green Knowes, measuring about thirty yards by forty rises about two or three feet above the surface of the surrounding bog. On penetrating into this elevated mass, it is found to consist of stones of all different kinds and sizes, which seem to have been tumbled promiscuously together, without the least attempt at arrangement. Driven quite through this superincumbent mass are a number of piles sharpened at the point, about three feet long, made of oak of the hardest kind, retaining the marks of the hatchet, and still wonderfully fresh. A causeway of large stones connects this mound with the firm ground. All around is nothing but soft elastic moss
