Lanarkshire -- Lamington and Wandel Parish
contd: Quendal or Gwendall, signifying in the British language the white meadow, The parish was also designated in former times, the parochin of Hartside alias Wandle, the former being the name by which a particular district of it towards the northern extremity is still known. The same authority also tells us that the name Lammingtoune, now familiarly abreviated into Lamington was confirred upon the norther division, of this united parish, from a Fleming called Lambinus, one of three brothers who came over from Flanders and settled in Scotland in the reign of David I, and upon whom that monarch confirred the territory, which has since under various modifications, borne the designation of Lambinstoun, Lambingtoun, and Lammingtoune. In a charter by David II to Sir William Baillie in 1367, the lands are designated as those of Lambinstoun. Wandell, reckoning from the southern extremity, where it is bounded by Crawford extends in a north easterly direction to the parish kirk, a distance of about 6 miles. The general character of this parish, like the district in which it lies, is hilly, or perhaphs it may be called mountainous. Deer are said to have existed in abundance in this parish, in former times. Hence the name of Hartside, still applied to a portion of what is now denominated Wandell. The Kirk of Wandell and Lammingtoune is situated on the boundaries of these two ancient parishes, the area of the Kirk being held as the exact line of march between them." (New Stat Act. [Statistical Account]
"The parish church of Hartside or Wandel, was allowed to fall into ruins, and the church of Lamington serves the united parish, the patronage whereof belongs to Baillie of Lamington, as patron of the old parish of Lamington, and to Lord Douglas as patron of the old parish of Hartside or Wandel, who have the right of presenting a minister to th eunited parish by turns." (Chalmers Cala [Caledonia] Vol 3. P[--]
"The parish of Wandal was joined to that of Lamington in the year 1608." (Origiones Parochiales Scotiae.) |

The remains of this castle are on the East bank of the Clyde near the farm house of Lamington Mains, it appears to have been a place of great strength, and according to what the minister states, this was the principal residence of the "Laird of Lammingtoune". The wall on the South and West sides is in good preservation and about 30 feet high and strongly cemented together, and on the west side there is a stone on which is marked by raised letters E.B. 1589.

"Almost at the norther extremity of the parish the Whitehill rises out of the alluvial land on the side of the river, and commands an extensive view. The remains of a camp are situated on the Southern face of this hill. There is an appearance of an old well having been sunk near the north-east angle of this Camp. The hill continues to rise at this side above the Camp, and there are some traces of either one or two more fortifications, but not so distinctly marked as to enable me to insert them in the plan." (On the ancient camps of the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire by G. V. Irving Esqr.)
"In Camps it is most abundant. Three of these quite adjoining one another are very distinctly marked at Whitehill, in the north-east extremity of Lammingtoune all of very considerable dimensions, the largest being 70 yards in length by 40 in breadth, with a ditch 5 yards in width. These are supposed to be of Roman construction." (New Stat Act [Statistical Account] |

The figures marked, a, b, c on the North-east side of the camp are very distinctly marked on the ground and look very conspicuous from a distance, but when closely inspected there are no signs of any thing artificial looking about them,, and they appear to be formed by the naturaly undulating summit of the hill. |

"After entering the parish of Lamington, the Roman road continues to descend the right bank of the Clyde between that river and the hill. P.8.
A little further on, the name Causeway house, gives us if we required it, another proof that we are on the line of a Roman road. In fact this word in Scotland may be always considered s in indication of there having been an iter in the vicinity. A bronze jug or goblet was found on the farm of Loanhead in this parish, near the line of the Roman road which is here again known as Watling street and also indicated by the use of the word Loan.

Track of Roman Road continued - "to have left the bank of the Clyde, and to have continued through the parish of Culter in a valley which is separated from that river by a range of hills of no great elevation" (On the ancient camps of the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire by G.V. Irving Esqr F.A.S.)
"The road having thus united with the Nithsdale Branch, takes the shortest course over the hill, and then descends into the valley of the Clyde, passing by places called Gateside, Causeway, and Catchapel; at which place there is a square redoubt, towards Lamington, all situated in the same vale. Hence it has doubtless, led still along the right bank of the Clyde to Biggar, but, excepting in crossing Biggar Moss, where its vestiges are discernible enough, no traces of it are particularly known." (Roy P.104)
"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 Crawford parish; and then descending from this elevation into the valley of the Clyde, it passed by Gateside. Causeway. and Catchapel, where there is a square redoubt, towards Lamington. The united road proceeded, from the Roman post near Lamington, along the right bank of the Clyde towards Biggar, but exept in crossing Biggar Moss, where its vestiges are very obvious, few traces of it any where appear." (Chalmers Caledonia Vol.1. P.135)
"But with the exception of those formerly mentioned," (In Crawford. Ph. [Parish]) no traces of Roman fortification have, we believe been met with in the South of Lanarkshire, until we reach the spot where the ancient causeway enters the parish of Lamington. Between this parish and the |

Track of Roman Road continued - town of Biggar, a great number of old encampments remain in what may be called a fair state of preservation. Most of them are of a circular form; but some few are square or oblong, and have all the appearance of Roman castella. Of these we may notice, for instance, one at Whitehill, at the north-east extremity of Lamington parish." (See Plan 39.12) "Its area measures 70 by 40 yards, and is surrounded by a ditch 15 feet wide. Near it are two others somewhat similar, but smaller in size; while another oblong fort is to be seen at Hartside in the same parish." (See S.W. [South West] side of Devonshaw Hill Plan 43.2.) "Indeed, from all that can be observed, this seems to have been a well defended district, both under its Celtic and Roman occupants". (Caledonia Romana P.236 & 237.)
"Watling Street, as it has been called, entered the parish near to the base of Arbory hill, and passed Cauldchapel and Wandell-mill, where it may still be traced; but farther down than this it cannot be followed with certainty. An urn was not long ago, dug up by the plough near Cauldchapel, and several more are reported to have been discovered near Wandell-mill at the time the present high road was made about seventy years ago." (New Stat Act [Statistical Account] P.818.)
After passing through the Raggen Gill in Crawford Ph. [Parish] it is supposed by the Minister of the parish, the Revd [Reverend] C Hope, that the Roman Road entered the parish of Lamington near the base of Arbory Hill; there is an old road at this place which was formerly the Mail Road between Carlisle and Glasgow, when the present farm buildings of Cold Chapel was used as an Inn and post house, there are three |

Track of Roman Road continued - Camps on the east side of this road, and Urns etc have been found near it on the West side. (See Plans 43C 9 & 13.) This road passes by Cold Chapel, Dikefoot, Gateside, Causeway House, and Old Wandel Mill, at present it can not be traced farther than Causeway House, as the ground north of this, on the line of the road, has been cultivated, and all trace of the road obliterated, but there is an old Bridge over Wandel Burn near Old Wandel Mill which is on the line of the old Road and the tenant of the farm is bound by stipulation in his lease to keep this bridge in repair. (See Plan 43). Mr. Haddow the present tenant of Cold Chapel, supposes that the Roman Road was on the line as indicated by the yellow dotted line on Traces 3 & 6, Plan 43.9, and bases his supposition on the fact of large stones having from time to time been turned up by the plough, and the ground on this line being harder on the sole of the plough than it is in any other part of the field. From a, on Trace Plan 43-9 to Causeway House, the old Road is supposed to be on the line of the Roman Road. The road which leads from Causeway House on to the present Trust Road near Wandel Mill is of Modern construction. From Causeway House northwards in this parish, there is no trace or tradition of any old road which is supposed to be on the line of the Roman Road, except near Loanhead on the South side of Hawmoor Plantation, (See Plan 39-12.) here an old Road, which is a Drove Loan, can be trace through the uncultivated ground, this road is seldom used but it is said that it cannot be closed, and a passage has to be left through the stone wall which here forms the boundary between the Parishes of Culter, and Lamington and |

Track of Roman Road continued - Wandel, this road can be traced no farther than the east margin of the plantation in Culter Parish. A Roman Camp Kettle, was found near the line of this road also a Bronze Whistle, fragments of Spears, and human skeletons. (See "The Graves" etc 39.12 Culter Ph. [Parish]) Mr Sim of Coulter Mains a local antiquary, supposes this portion of the Drove Loan to be on the line of the Roman Road.
Mr Irving in his paper on the camps in the Upper Ward states that the Roman Road near the farm of Loanhead is known as "Watling Street", but no person could be met with in the vicinity who knew it by that name or point out the line of it.
The ground to the North of the Drove Loan, and modern Trust Road, on the farms of Overburns and Whitehill is all under cultivation, and the present tenant (Mr Gibson) states that his ancestors have occupied these lands for several generations; and he never heard of any thing like a road or Causeway, or any thing curious being found during the progress of cultivation; moreover the ground to a great extent through these farms lies low, and is often flooded by the overflowing of the Clyde, though now embanked at several places to prevent such an occurrence, and it is probable that at the time of the Roman invasion this ground to a great extent would be a marsh, where a road could not have been made without a great deal of labour, and if it had been made, vestiges of it would have been met with during the progress of cultivation. The ground over which the Drove Loan passes lies high and dry, and could not be flooded under any circumstance except a regular deluge. |

Lanarkshire Lamington and Wandel Parish
[Note] "The church may probably be referred to the reign of Saint David, or to that of his successor, King Malcolm the Maiden, when Lambin flourished, from whom this parish derived its name. The church stood near the southern extremity of the parish on the north bank of the Lamington burn where it flows into the Clyde. A neighbouring spring bears the name of Saint Ininas Well, indicating probably that the church was dedicated to Saint Ninian the Apostle of the Southern Picts. or perhaps to Saint Inan a confessor in Scotland, whose feast was kept on the 18th of August." _ (Origines Parochiales Scotiae._)
"There are many fine springs in this parish. The most celebrated is that dedicated toSt. Ninian, on the left bank of Lamingtoune burn above the village". _(New Stat Act [Statistical Account]) |

"Upon one of these little eminences, in the South-west corner of this little territory and with its rocky base shelving into the Clyde, stands the Bower of Wandell, Little of it indeed now remains, nor does it appear from its outlines to have been of any great extent, though probably it was built with some attention to security. King James V., when tired of the cares of state and trammels of a court, is said to have pursued his favourite sport of deer stalking, among the once woody hills and glens of Hartside" (New Stat Act.

This Camp is situated at the South side of Shiel Burn and South Base of Woodend Hill, its general outline is a semicircle and appears to have had a ditch and strong rampart on the East and West, which are still in a good state of preservation there is no trace of a ditch on the South side, and here the rampart is slighter than on the East and West side; there is also an appearance of a Sligt rampart on the North side which is on the top of a precipitous slope (See Section a, b, c.) This Camp would form a good place of defence in hand to hand encounter, but, would be at the mercy of an enemy with arrows or firearms from the Slope of Woodend Hill. |

There formerly stood at this place two Cairns composed if stones loosely thrown together the smallest on the South was taken down about 50 years ago and there is no tradition about any thing curious being found in it. The largest stood on the North side of the small one it was taken down by the present Tenant of Cold Chapel (Mr J, Haddow) who states that it contained about 250 cart loads of stones the largest being built round the outside and small ones thrown promiscuously together, filled up the centre, when these were remove there was found at the bottom two rectangular Graves or Cists, composed of four flat stones for the sides, and ends, and covered over the top by a slab; at the bottom of these Cists was found a small quantity of black greasy earth or loam, such as might be expected from the slow decomposition of animal matter, but no bones. "Close to Cauldchapel, also, there is a moat or tumulus about 20 yards in diameter and 5 in height, there was formerly a smaller one near it." (New Statl Act. [Statistical Account]) the site of these is very easily observed on the ground by its elevation and their circular shape, and stones are still turned up in great quantities by the plough. |

About 60 yards North from the Camp mentioned on the other side, the form of a circular figure may be traced on the ground, it appears to have been about 24 yards in diameter, its form on the West side is still plainly perceptible, and finely marked. Mr. Haddow states that there stood at this place a huge mass of loose stones, the largest built round the outside, (Not built in any degree of order but piled up.) and the centre composed of loose stones thrown promiscuously together, it was circular with a diameter of about 24 yards and about 3 feet high and was removed by him when making improvements some years ago, he does not remember of any thing curious being found about it. |

About a quarter of a mile North from the farm house of Cold Chapel and 150 yards East from the line of the Caledonian Railway are the remains of a large Camp, which appears to have been fortified by a rampart composed of a mixture of loose stones and earth, at present the rampart is about 4 feet high, but there is no appearance of a ditch, the form of the Camp is circular, but Mr Haddow states that it had a very irregular appearace at one time which was caused by some outworks on the West side, composed chiefly of loose stones which were removed by him, when making improvement about 13 years ago. This Camp is situated on a gentle slope and commands an extensive view to the South, North and West, the ground rises rather abruptly to the East and the view is not so extensive it appears to have had a stronger rampart on this side than on any other. "There is a Camp pretty entire near the farm house of Cauldchapel said to be 60 yards in diameter". (New Statl Act. [Statistical Account]). "In the Parish of Lamington we come to the undoubted remains of a Roman post and its square form [evinces], near the Roman Road between Catchapel and Little Gill".

"During the formation of the Caledonian Railway, a number of small urns were dug up near the farmhouse of Coldchapel. One of these is now in possession of Mr. Sim of Culter Mains. It is rudely formed of Course yellow and unglazed earthenware. Its dimensions are: height, two inches; diameter at top two and a half; at midde two and five eighths; and at bottom one and a half inches. In an Old Map I find that this farm was sometimes called Cat Chapel, which appears to denote that it ha been the locality where some battle has been fought."

This camp is situated about 24 chains South from the farm house of Cold Chapel and 5 chains from the line of the Caledonian Railway. Its form is circular and it appears to have been defended by a single rampart, but there is little or no appearance of a ditch, the rampart is in good preservation, and appears to have been the strongest on the East side facing the hills. It is situated on a gentle slope at the N, W, [North West] base of Arbory Hill, and commands an extensive view up and down the River Clyde, but the ground which rises rather abruptly on the East site cuts of the view in that direction.

Camp contd:
"farm house of Cold Chapel there are two camps on the opposite sides of Hawkwood Burn, from which they must have been supplied with water. The first is an irregular square, measuring diagonally 165 by 150 feet situated on a small piece of level ground, and its rampart is in excellent preservation. The other (See Plan 43-9-6) is very irregular in form, measures 254 by 220 feet in its longest dimensions, is less distinctly marked and lies on the first gentle rise of the hill. These Camps appear to have been connected with another on the opposite bank of the Clyde forming with it an equilateral triange."

There is no mention made of it in any of the records, but Mr Haddow says that he considers it to be an artificial mound, and similar in construction to those mentioned on 43-9-6.

Near the line of the Caledonian Railway and about a quarter of a mile from the South boundary of the parish, there can be distinctly traced on the ground the remains of a Sod wall enclosing an area of about an acre, on the North side of this enclosure, there is distinctly marked on the ground what appears by its formation to have been a building which is now grown over with grass and heather like the surrounding ground, Mr Haddow the present Tenant of Cold Chapel says that he has resided at Cold Chapel between 30 and 40 years, and he has always considered and been told that this was the place where the Chapel stood, and from which the name of the farm is derived. The present Minister of the parish (Revd [Reverend] C Hope) says that he has always considered the name of the farm to be derived from this Chapel, but had never visited the site. Mr Haddow says that he does not remember being asked any questions about this by Mr Irving. |

This camp is situated on the top of Arbory Hill, which forms the last of a range which extends from the valley of the Clyde near Abington to the Valley of the Tweed in Peebleshire, a distance of about 10 miles. The formation of Arbory Hill and the Camp occupies the whole of the top of the hill. It appears to have been formed by escarping the natural Slope of the hill, it has three ramparts and there are faint appearances of a ditch at the bottom of each. The inner rampart is composed of stones of all sizes cast loosely together and at the lowest computation there will be 1000 cart loads; the outside rampart is ovate shaped and there |

[Camp Arbory Hill continued]
[there] is an opening or gate through it on the East side, the second rampart is more circular and the inside or top rampart which is formed of stones is nearly a true circle.
'In Lamington parish opposite the mouth of the Raggen Gill Arbory Hill rises isolated in a conical form to the height of about 500 feet above the level of the Clyde. On its top is a circular fortification, formed by three concentric ramparts, with an interval of 10 yards between them, the diameter of the interior being 264 feet. There is no well or other supply of water' (On the Ancient Camps of the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire by G. V. Irving Esqr
'The most remarkable one of the kind in the Parish is that of Arbory Hill which rises about 500 feet on a conical form. This hill has been fortified on the top having a broad ditch of about 3 yards with a rampart. At about 6 yards within this rampart there is a second ditch,2 yards or so in the middle, and within it a mound about 10 feet in height. At the distance of probably 16 yards and still further up the hill is found a ring or circle of stones, measuring it is said 9 yards in thickness and four feet in height, and enclosing a space of ground in its natural state of about 44 yards in diameter. This has been held by some to have been a military station of the Britons; while others are inclined to view it as an ancient Druidical temple or place of worship'. (New Stat [Statistical Act [Account].
Mr Sim of Coulter Mains, a local antiquary, says that he considers this to be a Druidical Temple and the name of the hill to be synonymous with 'Abury', the great station of the Druids in the South of England. |

A name given to an extensive excavation at the South West base of Ewe Hill, it appears to have been formed for the purpose of hiding, as well as a place of defence, the excavation is made in the natural slope of the hill, and consists of a deep ditch extending about 60 yards to the N. E [North East] from Wandell Burn, and gradually curving to the E.S.E. [East South East] & S [South], for about 80 yards; here the excavation terminates, by gradually sloping out into the natural feature of the hill, at one time the ground to the South of the Cast was an almost impassable bog, (It is now being drained and brought under cultivation.) and the Cast would be difficult to assail by a hostile |

Wallace's Cast contd:
partly from the South, while on the North the ground rises very abruptly and the occupants of the cast would have the advantage if attacked from this side, the slope of the cast being so abrupt that it would be impossible for a man to descend and keep his guard either with sword or spear. The cast would form a secure hiding place, it cannot be seen from the North, East, or West until a person is within 40 or 50 yards of it, and being cut in the natural slope of the hill, cannot be seen from the South at a greater distance than 200 or 300 yards, It is generally supposed that the cast was formed by Sir William Wallace, who, with a band of patriots encamped here, and were attacked by the English, who were discomfited in Rab's Bog. See description of Rab's Bog.
"On one of the hills above Wandell Mill, a place is still pointed out as "Wallace's Camp" from the patriot having encamped there" (Fullarton's Gazetteer.) P.205.
"Sir William Wallace is reported to have once encamped on the heights above Wandell mill, where he entrapped and cut off a party of English." (New Stat Act. [Statistical Account] P.818) |

"At the foot of one of the hills in this parish, there is a place called "Rob's Bog", which in time of war with England, being covered with rushes by the Scotch, and the English taking it for safe ground and passing it on horseback at full speed perished there." (Old Stat Act [Statistical Account])
"At the foot of a hill in the same neighbourhood, there is a place called Rob's Bog, which obtained its name from the exercise of a stratagem, similar to that which assisted Bruce to achieve the victory of Bannockburn. In the time of the wars between England and Scotland, a part of the English troopers had to pass by this route, and as the bog had previously been covered with rushes by the (over |

Rob's Bog contd:
Scotch, the former, taking it for solid footing, passed at full speed, and there perished. The stratagem was ascribed to Rob, one of the commanders of the Scottish army; and the place derived its name from him." (Fullarton's Gazetteer P.205.)
Mr Sim of Coulter Mains, a local antiquary, says that it is supposed that this bog was the first resting place of the English arlmy after their defeat by Sir William Wallace at or near Biggar, and that the English retreated up the valley of the Culter Water, and over the hills at the head of it, to Rob's Bog. As a confirmation of this statement, Mr Sim says that there were found near Cramie in the County of Peebles a large quantitiy of silver coins of the reign of Edward I of England, and about the size of the present sixpence. The coins were scattered over an area of about 5 yards by 20, and Mr Sim thinks that a treasure chest had burst at this place, and that there had been too much haste in the retreat, to allow of the contents being gathered. Mr Sim has several of these coins in his possession which he found at the place, after it was supposed they were all gathered. In Blind Harry's life of Wallace Vol. 1 P.135. v.595 & 600. The retreat of the English is thus described. -
"Ye Scotts gat horse and, folowil yat Cattail,
Through Culir hope, or Syme hai wan he hycht
Feill Sothroune folk was marryt in your mycht,
Slayne be ye fait as yair king fled away." 600. - Again at P136 Ver. 635 and 640 Wallace's ride to Robs Bog is described - continued |

Mr Paton states that there have been found on Rob's Bog, by the drainers, at different times and places, Broken Swords, spears etc and Mr Black of Wandell Mill corroborates this statement and says he has seen pieces of weapons etc which were found there, but it is not known where any of these reliques are, nor could any person be found who could point out the exact spot where they were found, only by the general expression, "They were found on Rob's Bog". By following the course of the Culter Water and its tributaries upwards to Hardrig Head this bog could be approached from Biggar with ease. over |

Rob's Bog continued:
"Quhar Inglismen provisioune maks in wer, 630
It is full hard to do yaim mekill der;
On yis playne feild we will yaim nocht abyde,
To sum gud Strenth my purpose is to ryde.

To Rops Bog he gert servands it lede, 635
With ordinance at Sothroune broucht it yar,
He with ye oft to Davis Schaw can far,
And yar ramaynede a gret space off ye day.
Off Inglismen yeit sumthing will I say.
As King Edward throuch Cultir Hoppis Socht, 640
Quhen he persavit ye Scotts folowed nocht,
In Jhonys Greyne he gert ye oftly Still;
Feill fleand folk assemblyt some hym till."
"The battle of Biggar is celebrated by Blind Harry, but not mentioned by any other historian. It is said to have taken place between the English under Edward I and the Scotts under Wallace, and to have ended in a great victory over the invaders. Appearances still exist, and traditions float among the people of the district, which leave little doubt of the engagement. Blind Harry says it was fought on marshy ground, and tradition points to a low lying field south east from Biggar, where pieces of broken armour have often been gathered". (New Stat Act. [Statistical Account] P.358, 359) |
