The Old Edinburgh Road at Barscobe and Balmaclellan
Recent, Transport History (Roads)
TDGNHAS Series III, 86 (2012), 209(4.08 MB)
Abstract
In a recent paper by the second author, the ‘Old Edinburgh Road’ was indicated as following a route between Barscobe and Balmaclellan, following the present access road from Barscobe Castle to the present A712 and thence on to Balmaclellan. Since then, an assessment by the first author calls for this section to be revised. Further research makes it clear that this should be replaced by a more direct and anciently established route between the two places.

Abstract
The ‘Old Edinburgh Road’ marked on Ordnance Survey maps of the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright forms part of a route of great antiquity. A brief summary of its history before the turnpike era was given by the writer in a previous paper.2 The following notes are intended as an amplification of this and its extensions into Dumfriesshire and Wigtownshire, based on observations made in the intervening forty years.
