Dumfriesshire would be an excellent place for any one who had the leisure and energy to test the theories of your “Early British Trackways”. Apart from such small matters as cairns holy wells etc there are in that county still to be traced 42 Camps, 128 forts, 9 moats, 36 standing stones and Druidical Circles, 5 Roman roads; 306 tumuli, 57 churches chapels & monasteries; 37 castles & 44 towers. In Moffat and the adjoining Kirkpatrick there are an especially large number of forts and moats, while from the little Bentpath Inn on the way to the Eskdalemuir Observatory one may walk in all directions with British or Roman Camps popping up everywhere. Unfortunately the writer of this p.c. an interested reader of your book is unable to do any work in this way on his own account.
