Roman Road continued:-

"THis far have I proceeded in giving an account of the above mentioned Camps, what I am next to consider, is the Road which Agricola must have taken on his journey to Glota and Bodotria, and as there are but two roads practicable for an Army to march from these Camps into Clydesdale and Dumbartonshire, the one by Moffat, and the other through the valley of Locher Moss, by Dumfries, and Drumlanrig, I am inclinable to believe he took the latter. Viz. that by Dumfries, for a noble Roman Military Way has passed by all the above mentioned places, keeping to the right hand of Locher Moss, and Dumfries, and is to this day plain to be seen in several other tracks of that Road, particularly a little to the east of Disdeir Kirk, where the family of Queensberry lies interred, thence it runs over a great Track of high mountains two miles to the east of Entriken Pass, going through Crawford Town, keeping two miles to the east of the Lead Hills, thence runs by the Elvin Foot, thence by the side of the River Clyde to Biggar Moss, where it is very distinct."
