{0b} See Appendix, pp. 304, 307.
{0c} The following is the entry referred to:—
‘October 4th, 1832.—I find that this tour was both begun and ended on
a Sunday. I am sorry that it should have been so, though I hope and
trust that our thoughts and feelings were not seldom as pious and
serious as if we had duly attended a place devoted to public worship.
My sentiments have undergone a great change since 1803 respecting the
absolute necessity of keeping the Sabbath by a regular attendance at
church.
‘D. W.’
{9a} Criffel.
{9b} Annandale.
{11} See Appendix A.
{20} There is some mistake here. The Hopetoun title was not taken from
any place in the Leadhills, much less from the house shaped like an
H.—_Ed._
{27} Probably the Rev. John Aird, minister of the parish, 1801–1815.
{30} Ragweed.
{31a} Tinto.
{33} New Lanark, Robert Owen’s mills.
{36a} Lady Mary Ross.
{36b} Corehouse.
{36c} See Appendix B.
{45} The house belonging to the Earls of Hopetoun at Leadhills, not that
which bears this name about twelve miles from Edinburgh.—Ed.
{53} Glasgow Green.
{56} No doubt Erskine House, the seat of Lord Blantyre.—_Ed._
{61} A huge isolated rock in Borrowdale, Cumberland, which bears that
name.—_Ed._
{63} The inscription on the pillar was written by Professor George
Stuart of Edinburgh, John Ramsay of Ochtertyre, and Dr. Samuel Johnson;
for Dr. Johnson’s share in the work see Croker’s Boswell, p. 392.—_Ed._
{67} Camstraddan House and bay.—_Ed._
