Samuel McCall William Young W. Fingland |
006; 013 | This is the site of a Celtic Dyke which t[akes] its rise at the head of Lochryan near Stranraer, and pafsing [passing] through the uplands of Galloway, advances along [the] wilds of Carsphairn, and stretches forward to the frowning heights of Afton[;] It then turns down Nithsdale, pursuing its Course on the south side of the River along the moorlands; it crosses the f[ace] of the hills on the farms of Uzieside and South Mains, where it is remarkably distinct and well defined; it then points towards the woods of Eliock, from which it advances through Durrisdeer and the parishes beyond, pushes through Annandale and on to Carlisle where it terminates, accompli[sh]ing a Course of much more than a hundred miles. |

Transcriber's notes
DEIL'S DIKE (Remains of)
- The original transcription table entry for "DEWS DIKE (Remains of)" was changed to "DEIL'S DIKE (Remains of)" - this looks like a typo. Note also that this feature appears elsewhere in this volume under "CELTIC DIKE (Remains of)".
- Essentially the same text - which comes from the Reverend Doctor Robert Simpson's History of Sanquhar - appears on Page 110. Some text is obscured at the binding - I have supplied that from the book, assuming correct.
- Private Munro (as in other pages) seems to write ULZIESIDE as UZIESIDE in the Descriptive remarks.
WHING
- A transcription table entry , map reference 013 from page 356, was added.
