22 May 1912
Dumfries. Arrived here this evening and
have taken up my abode at the Woodbank
Hotel. The landlord has got me an assistant, a "flesher" this
time!

25th May
Fort Jardington Terregles Par [Parish]
The O. S. [Ordnance Survey] marks a fort here on a large gravel
plateau close to the road about 1/4 S.E. [South East] of New
Bridge. It has been long under cultivation
and whatever remains there may once have
been are now entirely ploughed out.
A mound marked as such on the S. [South] side
of the road between West Cluden and Iron:
:gray Church is a natural accumulation of no
archaeological interest whatever.

Kirkpk. [Kirkpatrick] Irongray
Irongray Church
Some 25' S E. [South East] of the E [East] end of the church
lies a large "table" stone 7' 6" in length by 3' 3"
in breadth inscribed around the edge and
across the W [West] end as follows Heir lyes Katrin
Mill who departit the 11 Januari anno
domini 1633. In terais credidi et speravi
in coclis. fuior. et gaudes. A large shield
occupies the lower half of the stone charged
in relief with a chevron couped between
three fleur-de-lys above the shield in a
sunk panel are the letters K.B. A modern
inscription on the side commemorates
various members of the family of Broune.
