002; 003; 005; 006 | [Situation] On Wn, [Western] Parish Boundary - S. [Edl]. [South Eastwardly?] to River Nith. The Revd. [Reverend] Robert Simpson in his History of Sanquhar (1853) says, "The Crawick, which falls into the Nith about ½ a mile to the west of the town, is a pleasant stream, and its glen is stereotyped with legends and traditions of the olden times, which have been transmitted with undeviating accuracy. Few things are more heart-stirring than the Stories which were told by the people of the last generation, and Some of which have found an em- -bodiment in the beautiful prose productions of Hislop the poet, who wonned for some years on the romantic banks of this sto- ried stream, and whose head was stored with the traditionary love of his native glens, which he rejoiced to give forth both in poetic strains and in prose Communications." |

Transcriber's notes
I am unsure as to the correct transcription for the text in the Situation column. It looks like S Edl - but if this means South Easterly then it doesn't make geographical sense.
