In this connection, the war-cry <strong>of</strong> the some distinguished Scotchmen.

Claverhouse, afterwards Viscount Dundee, sent Covenanters, and was among the chief leaders in promotinga report from M<strong>of</strong>fat, dated 28 Dec. 1678, to the Earlthe league between <strong>Scotland</strong> and England.'

In quieter times, and with the growing popularityreprint <strong>of</strong> Garuett's Observations on the M<strong>of</strong>fat Waters<strong>of</strong> the Wells, M<strong>of</strong>fat made rapid advances.

The names <strong>of</strong> these doctors were 1823), a famous physician, who acted as first medicalDr Sinclair and Dr John Clerk.adviser to the Empress and court <strong>of</strong> Russia, purchasedIn the latter half <strong>of</strong> the 18th century, however, in 1805 the estate <strong>of</strong> Dumcrieff, and resided upon itM<strong>of</strong>fat became more conspicuous. It was visited by from 1816 till his death. John Loudon Macadam (1756-men like John Home, author <strong>of</strong> the play <strong>of</strong> Douglas; 1836), the inventor <strong>of</strong> that process <strong>of</strong> road-making,David Hume, philosopher, historian, and agnostic known as 'macadamising,' resided at Dumcrieff for someJames Macpherson, the fabricator <strong>of</strong> Ossian's poems time, and after a life <strong>of</strong> hard work, died at M<strong>of</strong>fat, andDr Alexander Carlyle, <strong>of</strong> Inveresk ;James Boswell, the was buried in its churchyard. John Fiulay (1782-1810),famous biographer ; Joseph Black, the well-known pr<strong>of</strong>essor<strong>of</strong> chemistry in Edinburgh University ;author <strong>of</strong> Wallace, or the Vale <strong>of</strong> Ellcrslic, HistoricalDr Black-aiul Romantic Ballads (1808), etc., was a poet <strong>of</strong> greatpromise, whose life was cut short by a sudden illness atM<strong>of</strong>fat, where he lies buried. John AValker, D.D.,known, owing to his eccentricities, as the mad minister'<strong>of</strong> M<strong>of</strong>fat,' was a churchman <strong>of</strong> some note in his day.lock, the blind poet ; Hugh Blair, the divine ;andmany others, whose presence and whose name weresufficient to draw others to the place where theyhappened to be. An interesting event connected withthe visit to M<strong>of</strong>fat <strong>of</strong> Home and Macpherson is narratedin the Account <strong>of</strong> the Life and iVritings <strong>of</strong> John So-me,by Henry Mackenzie (Edinb. 1822). Mackenzie's workcontains a letter <strong>of</strong> Dr Adam Ferguson, which tells howthat Home and Macpherson met at the bowling-green,and soon became intimate. The subject <strong>of</strong> traditionarypoetry in the Highlands was discussed, and Macphersonpromised to translate some fragments which were in hispossession. These, according to the letter, were afterwardsprinted in a pamphlet, and drew that public'attention which gave rise to the further proceeding onthe subject.' The name <strong>of</strong> Burns is also connected withthe town. He visited it frequently, and in it he wrotethe famous song—'O, Willie brewed a peck o' mautAnd Rab anb Allan cam' to pree,Three blither hearts that lee-Ian; nightYe wadna find in Christendee.'And here he composed, in addition to many otherpoems, &c., the epigram called An Apology for ScrimpitNaiure.Since the 19th century began, the progress <strong>of</strong> M<strong>of</strong>fathas been both rapid and continuous. New buildingshave been erected ; fine streets have been laid out ;awater supply <strong>of</strong> 288,000 gallons per diem was broughtin to the town at a cost <strong>of</strong> £5000 in 1867 ;a new system<strong>of</strong> sewerage was then also carried out ; a cemetery, 3 acresin extent, and f mile NW <strong>of</strong> the town, was beautifullylaid out in 1872 at a cost <strong>of</strong> £700 ;and the town hasbeen lighted with gas. These and other improvements40MOFFATHe was presented to M<strong>of</strong>fat parish in 1762, was translatedto Coliuton parish in 1783, and died in 1803. DrWalker wrote several books, his favourite subject beingnatural history.The parish <strong>of</strong> M<strong>of</strong>fat is bounded N by Tweedsmuir inPeeblesshire, NE by Lyne and Megget in Peeblesshireand Ettrick in Selkirkshire, E by Ettrick and Eskdalemuir,SE by Wamphray, SW by Kirkpatrick-Juxta, andW and NW by Crawford in Lanarkshire. Its utmostlength, from ENE to WSW, is 14| miles ;its utmostbreadth is 8 J miles; and its area is 43,170 acres, <strong>of</strong>which 3119 are in Lanarkshire and 40,051 in Dumfriesshire,whilst 205 are water. The parish is traversed bythree roads, leading respectively to Edinburgh, Glasgow,Selkirk, and by a section <strong>of</strong> the C^aledonian railway,as well as by part <strong>of</strong> the Beattock and M<strong>of</strong>fatbranch. M<strong>of</strong>fat is rich in features <strong>of</strong> natural beauty.River, loch, mountain, valley, combine to render it one<strong>of</strong> the most picturesque parishes in the South <strong>of</strong> <strong>Scotland</strong>.* WiUiam Black, in big Strange Adventures <strong>of</strong> a Phaeton (1S72),obgerves that, ' if M<strong>of</strong>fat is to be likened to Baden-Baden, it formsan exceedingly Scotch and respectable Baden-Baden. The buildingin which the mineral waters are drunk looks somewh.at likean educational institution, with its prim white iron railings.Inside, instead <strong>of</strong> the splendid saloon <strong>of</strong> the Conversationshaus,we foimd a long and sober-looking reading-room. M<strong>of</strong>fat itself isa white, clean, wide-streeted place, and the hills around it aresmooth and green ; but it is very far removed from Baden-Baden.It is a good deal more proper, and a great deal more dull. Perhapswe did not visit it in the height <strong>of</strong> the season, if it has got aseason ; but wc were at all events not very sorry to get away fromit again, and out into the hilly country beyond.'
——;MOFFATMONAR, LOCHThe Annan, rising at an altitude <strong>of</strong> 1270 feet on thenorthern border, near the meeting-point <strong>of</strong> Peebles,Lanark, and Dumfries shires, and not far from sources<strong>of</strong> the Tweed and Clyde, flows 8§ miles south-southeastward—for3J miles through the north-western interior,and then along or close to the boundary withKirkpatrick-Juxta. It is fed by several small streams—Birnock Water, Frenchland Burn, etc., and is joined,2 miles below M<strong>of</strong>fat, by M<strong>of</strong>fat Water on the E andEvan Water on the W. M<strong>of</strong>lat AVater, rising at analtitude <strong>of</strong> 1800 feet in the nortli-eastern corner <strong>of</strong> theparish, close to the Selkirkshire boundary, flows 12Jmiles south-westward through the parish. It is fed bythe following streams :—on the right bank. Tail Burn,flowing from Loch Skene, and Carrifran, Blackhope,and Craigie Burns ; on the left bank, Bodesbeck, Sailfoot,Selcoth, Cr<strong>of</strong>thead, and Cornal Burns. Evan Water,which rises in Lanarkshire, flows for 3J miles southsouth-eastwardthrough the western wing <strong>of</strong> M<strong>of</strong>fat, andthen passes <strong>of</strong>f into Kirkpatrick-Juxta. Garpol Water,too, flows 2J miles eastward on the boundary with Kirkpatrick-Juxta.The only lake in the parish is ' darkLoch Skene' (6 x Ig furl. ; 1700 feet), 11 J miles NNE<strong>of</strong> M<strong>of</strong>f'at.M<strong>of</strong>fat parish is very mountainous. The chief mountainsare—on the Peeblesshire boundarv. Great Hill(1527 feet). Spout Craig (1842), Barry Grain Rig (2012),Habtfbll (2651), Hartfell Rig (2422), Raven Craig(2246), Lochcraig Head (2625); on the Selkirkshireboundary, Andrewhinney Hill (2220), Ben Craig (2046),Bodesbeck Law (2173), Capel Fell (2223), Wind Fell(2180) ; on the boundaries with Eskdalemuir, AVamphray,and Kirkpatrick-Juxta parishes. Loch Fell (2256),Cr<strong>of</strong>thead (2085), Gateshaw Rig (1853) ; on the Lanarkshireboundary, Mosshope Fell (1567), Beld Knowe(1661), Campland Hill (1571), Black Fell (1528). Theparish <strong>of</strong> M<strong>of</strong>f'at is thus girdled with mountains <strong>of</strong>higher or lower elevation. The interior <strong>of</strong> the parish,especially in the N, is, however, almost as mountainousas are the parts bordering on other parishes. Carrifran(2452 feet), Saddle Yoke (2412), Arthur's Seat (2398),Swatte Fell (2388), and White Coomb (2695), may becited as among the l<strong>of</strong>tiest. The Southern Alps, as themountains in jl<strong>of</strong>fat parish and the surrounding districtare sometimes called, differ from the Highlandmountains in being, as a rule, covered with grass up tothe very summit. This naturallj' gives them theappearance <strong>of</strong> being less rugged and bare than theranges in the north <strong>of</strong> <strong>Scotland</strong>. The valleys throughwhich the Annan and Jl<strong>of</strong>fat \aud Evan Waters floware very narrow, especially in their upper parts. Insome places there is barely room for the roads topass along the bottom <strong>of</strong> the valleys. As might beexpected, they are extremely picturesque. To quoteonce more from the Strange Adventures <strong>of</strong> a Phaeton,Mr William Black gives a fine description <strong>of</strong> the vale <strong>of</strong>the Annan above the town. 'That was a pretty driveup through Annandale. As you leave M<strong>of</strong>f'at the roadand downgradually ascends into the region <strong>of</strong> the hills ;below you lies a great vaUey, with the river Annanrunning through it, and the town <strong>of</strong> M<strong>of</strong>fat itselfgetting smaller in the distance. You catch a glimmer<strong>of</strong> the blue peaks <strong>of</strong> Westmoreland lying far away iu thesouth, half hid amid silver haze. The hills around youincrease in size, and you would not recognise the bulk<strong>of</strong> the great round slopes but for those minute dots thatyou can make out to be sheep, and for an occasionalwasp-Uke creature that you suppose to be a horse. Theevening draws in. The yellow light on the slopes <strong>of</strong>green becomes warmer. You arrive at a great circularchasm which is called by the country-folks the Devil'sor Marquis <strong>of</strong> Annandale's Beef-tub—a mighty hollow,the western sides <strong>of</strong> which are steeped in a s<strong>of</strong>tpurple shadow, while the eastern slopes burn yellow inthe sunlight. There is no house, not even a farmhousenear ; and all traces <strong>of</strong> M<strong>of</strong>fat and its neighbourhoodhave long been left out <strong>of</strong> sight. But what is thesolitude <strong>of</strong> this place to the wild and l<strong>of</strong>ty region youenter, when you reach the summits <strong>of</strong> the hills ? ' etc.In M<strong>of</strong>lTat parish the soil in the valleys is mainlyalluvial ; on the lower slopes <strong>of</strong> the hills it is light, drygravel. A considerable part <strong>of</strong> the land is in tillagebut the main part is pasture land. There are a fewwoods <strong>of</strong> some extent— the Craigieburn, Bellcraig, andDumcrieff' woods may he mentioned. In the uplands therocks are Silurian ;greywacke, containing quartz, sandstone,and gypsum are found ; but coal, copper, andlimestone, though sought for, have not been discovered.The parish contains several objects <strong>of</strong> antiquarianinterest. There is an old British fort, 2J miles I'romM<strong>of</strong>fat, on the top <strong>of</strong> Beattock Hill, and two otherforts, not far distant from the town. Cornal Tower,the keep ' ' <strong>of</strong> the Pocornal estate, is a small ruin.Blacklaw Tower is a good example <strong>of</strong> a border peelhouse.Portions <strong>of</strong> the walls remain, and attest to thestrength <strong>of</strong> the building. In addition to these, theparish also contains other border towers <strong>of</strong> a likecharacter. Places, noted for their beauty or wildness,are the glen <strong>of</strong> Bell Craig, in which many rare fernsgrow ; the Basin <strong>of</strong> Blackshope, the Deil's Beef-tub, or,as it is sometimes called, the Marquis <strong>of</strong> Aunandale'sBeef-Stand ; the famous waterfall, called the GreyMare's Tail ; Loch Skene, Erickstane, etc.Mansions, noticed separately, are Ckaigiebuen andDuMCBiEFF ; and Mr Hope Johnstone is chief proprietor.M<strong>of</strong>fat is in the presbytery <strong>of</strong> Lochmabenand synod <strong>of</strong> Dumfries ; the living is worth £460.Tlie ancient church <strong>of</strong> M<strong>of</strong>fat was transferred in 1174by Robert de Bruce to the bishop <strong>of</strong> Glasgow, andwas afterwards constituted one <strong>of</strong> the prebends <strong>of</strong> thesee. A chapel once existed between the Annan and theEvan, at the place still called Chapel. Valuation (1860)£13,251, (1884) £30,071, 5s. lOd. Pop.
