Part of this parish was at one time called 'Douglas Moor' and the other part 'Friar Moor'. "The confines of this large and mountainous territory on the south and west are the marches between Strathclyde on the one hand, and Annandale and Nithsdale on the other. The waters that have their rise in its heights, uniting near the middle of the parish form the Clyde, which swelled by tributaries from the right and from the left become a river before it reach the Castle of Crawford. The loftiest of the hills is about 2450 feet above the sea level. The mines of Crawford have been famous for many centuries. They are mentioned, as has been seen, in charters of the reign of King Alexander II." (Origines Parochiales Scotiae.) |
