Route Heritage – Lochmaben to St Ann’s/Raehills

Introducion

The following historical ‘snapshots’ are intended only to give the walker some brief details of the various places of interest that he will pass as he proceeds along the Kentigern way. They are organised south to north in the direction of the walk and in the order he will encounter them. It is hoped that they will serve to add interest to the route and offer a glimpse of the rich historical context of the landscape he is traversing.

The information contained in these short descriptions has been gleaned from many sources – too many to list individually here. The author wishes to pay due tribute to the work of those others that he has made use of while admitting full culpability for any errors or misinterpretations that have occurred.
