| ROMAN ROAD | Roman Road | John Ferguson n & s Glenlee N. [New] Cumnock Mr Sloane n & s Schoolmaster Carsphairn |
002 | An old track of Road traditionally handed down to have been made and traversed by the Romans when they invaded North Britain (hence the name) Its course through the Stewarty of Kirkcudbright is through the Parishes of Dalry and Carsphairn, in the former it passes through the farms of Alltry and Curlae where it is hardly traceable, and in the latter through through the Nether Holm of Dalquhairn, but is not visible until it gets to Bawnhead, owing probably to low wet land, here it becomes a well defined track and is the boundary between the farms of Glenhead and Nether Holm of Dalquhairn, from thence it passes along the South side of Windy Standard and Trostan, forming the boundary between Clennoch, and Moor, as far as the Ford of Munsack, where it enters into farm of Moor, and takes across the Rig of Polwhat to the Craigs of Dunool, on its North end. From here to the head of Pochgavin- (Turn over) |
