We left Dumfries on August 8., and proceeded by Lochmaben to *Jardine Hall, whence we visited *Raehills. From Jardine Hall we went, by Cumroo Farm and *Kirkmichael Hall, to *Closeburn Hall. From this mansion we visited Closeburn Castle, Drumlanrig Castle, Baitford, and Kennedy's Nursery at Thornhill. On Aug. 12. we left Closeburn Hall, and, returning to Dumfries, saw Blackwood, Woodlands, and other places. We then visited the garden of St. Peter's, at the village of Dalbeattie and Munches. Next day we left the kind family at Munches for *Galston Castle and *St. Mary's Isle. From Kirkcudbright, near the latter place, we went to Gatehouse, in the neighbourhood of which we saw Enrick Farm, and *Cally House. Thence we proceeded to Newton Stewart, visiting Bargally, and glancing at Ardwell, Cairnsmuir, and a number of other places. (Mansion residences thus marked (*), for the reasons given in p. 385.)
