95, Parish of Moffat Plan 16/5 Trace 5

James Cowan [c/a]

The following entry was made, but later crossed out:- Cow's Craig, authority of William Corrie farmer Rivox, James Elliot shepherd Rivox, Robert Anderson Brattleburn. A name given to a rather conspicuous rock on the farm of Rivox.

To trifling on the ground not a proper local name.

Transcriber's notes

Seems like the initial inclusion or Cow's Craig was later decided against.

The use of the name Rivox Moor is referred to page 175
