Estate Map 1851 A. Hervey W. Gilchrist W. G. Galloway Johnston's County Map |
046 | A fresh water loch through which flows the River Doon. Its dimensions vary with that River. The land all around is low and level and as the Doon increases or decreases So does the Loch there is a probability had there been no River Doon there would be no Bogton Loch. After a heavy fall of rain acres of the adjacent low lands are innundated for weeks. The Loch is fertile in reeds (which is but a natural consequence from the Shallowness of parts of it), these with Scattered Clumps of close willows on the margin attract a great quantity of various Kinds of water-fowl. Parish Boundary passes through it - both Sides belong to the Hone. [Honourable] F. M. Cathcart |

046 | An old Parish Bridge of one Arch built of freestone over the River Doon on the Parish Road from Straiton to Dalmellington rising with a Sudden Span of 17 feet above the level of the River. The approach of the road on each Side is nearly level with the River the Bridge rising with Such a Sudden elavation displays a curious idea in the builder. All bridges on parish as well as on turnpike roads in this district are County Bridges. |
