FIFTH REPORT

OF THE

ROYAL COMMISSION ON THE ANCIENT AND
HISTORICAL MONUMENTS OF SCOTLAND.

TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY,--
We, your Majesty's Commisioners, appointed to make an
Inventory of the Ancient and Historical Monuments and Construc-
tions connected with or illustrative of the contemporary culture,
civilisation, and conditions of life of the people in Scotland from the
earliest times to the year 1707, and to specify those which seem most
worthy of preservation, humbly present to your Majesty this our
fifth Report.
During the summer and autumn of 1912, Mr A. O. Curle, then
Secretary to the Commission, continued and completed the survey
and examination of the monuments and constructions in Galloway.
The first volume, containing an Inventory of the monuments and
constructions in the County of Wigtown, giving the situation and
characteristics of each monument, with its bibliography, a reference
to the Ordnance Survey sheet (6-inch scale) on which the object is
noted, and the date on which it was visited, was submitted and
published in the autumn of last year; and the second volume, relating
to the Stewartry of Kircudbright, treated in similar detail, with
numerous illustrations and ground-plans, and supplied with a map
showing the positions of the various monuments and constructions,
or groups thereof, is now presented. An appendix to this Report
contains a list of those monuments in the said Stewartry which, in
the opinion of your Commissioners, seem most worthy of preservation.
As in former Reports, these have been divided into two classes, viz.
(a) those which appear to be specially in need of protection, and (b)
those worthy of preservation, but not in imminent risk of demolition
or decay.
