According to M'Kerlie, Lands and Their Owners in Galloway, Vol 5, published 1876, the farm of Hermitage was part of the Spottes Estate. This sits well with the census description "Hermitage of Spottes". http://www.archive.org/stream/historylandsand00unkngoog#page/n322/mode/2up Regards, Bruce On Fri, Dec 30, 2011 at 8:24 PM, Stanley Walker <[email protected]> wrote: > The settlement of Hermitage is in the Parish of Urr, as is Spottes Hall and > Spottes Burn and Glen > http://www.scottish-places.info/parishes/pardetails1042.html > > Hermitage farm is north of Haugh of Urr > http://bit.ly/rQCD9U > > And is visible here > http://g.co/maps/r5dce > > Kind regards > > Stanley > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Les Hewett > Sent: 28 December 2011 12:15 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY] HERMITAGE, SPOTTES ? > > Can any lister tell us about (The) Hermitage (farm/house?) at/of Spottres? > What's at Spottes?
