| CELTIC DIKE (Remains of) | Celtic Dyke | Rvn. [Reverend] Doctor Simpson James Kerr John Kerr William Armstrong |
006; 013 | "It is an Ancient Celtic Dyke, which As Chambers informs us, takes its rise At the head of Lochryan near Stran[raer,] And passing through the uplands of Galloway, advances along [the] Wilds of Carsphairn and Stretch[es] forward to the frowning heights of Afton; it then turns down Nithsd[ale,] pursuing its Course on the South Si[de] of the River Along the moorlands; [it] Crosses the face of the hills on the farms o[f] Ulzieside and South Mains, where it is remarkably distinct and well defined[;] It then points towards the Woods of Eliock, from which it advances through Durisder And the parishes beyond, pushes through Annanda[le] And on to Carlisle Where it terminates, accomplishing a Course of Much More than a hundred Mile[s."] Revd. [Reverend] R. Simpson's history of Sanquhar. |

Transcriber's notes
A table entry for "DEWS DIKE (Remains of)", map reference 006; 013 has been deleted, it does not appear on this image. There are 5 instances of this Name in Volume 44, none of which appear on the image, nor does the Name appear in the index for the volume. At this time, there are references in other volumes (06, 14, 30, 36) for Dumfriesshire - none of which have this Name in the image. All pages do, however, contain "Celtic or Deil's Dike" in the Name - I wonder if this is a misinterpretation of the Gothic font used?
CELTIC DIKE
- some text in the quotation appearing in Descriptive Remarks is obscured at the binding, I completed it from the History of Sanquhar.
