The water of it has been sold in Dumfries at the rate of 6d per Gill, It was proverbially for the Care of Wounds or Sores of any description by washing them with it also the red clay of this well was formerly taken away in great quantities and used by the people as a Pultice,. the Well now is in a state of great disrepair since it fell into disuse it is at present not larger than a man's Hat and also its particular water most have taken some other course as the present small quantity has no other taste than common water now used in the Country. |

X This name applies to a small Arable Hill on the farm of
West Cairngaan and derives its name from the following circumstance.
Upon its summit stood the dwellings of the Cotters or Labourers, who
worked upon the adjoining farms; these poor people subsisted greatly
on Shell Fish found on the adjacent shore, the shells on which
were thrown out before the doors. so that in some time an immense
heap of shells were accumulated, which caused the houses and
subsequently the hill to be called Castle Shell, the ruins of one of the houses yet remain.
The hill is well known to fishermen under the following circumstances. When they are
far enough out at Sea to discern its summit, and get in a line with it and a
certain point on the Shore, they are then on a Sand Bank where fish are generally very plenty.
