DAILLY.
JIN the midst of scenery celebrated for Its superi-
ority abore any in the county of Ayr, and near to
the beautiful water of Girvan, is seen the village of
Dailly, surrounded on ercrj- side by the elegant
juansions of affluence. It is nniety-four miles south-
west of Edinburgh, through Maybole and Ayr,
fifty-two south by west of Glasgow, seventeen south
by east of Ayr, thirty soutli by west of Kilmarnock,
SIX north-east of Girvau, nineteen north-north-east
of Ballantrae, thirty-seven north-north-east of
Stranraer, and forty-six north- north-east of Port-
patrick by the new road, which is longer by three
miles tlian that along the coast. This place was an-
ciently culled Dalmakerau, or Dalmaokeran. 'i'he
old church, which is now disused, was dedicated to
St. Michael ; and the present one, a neat and appro-
priate edifice, was erected in 1766. Tlie parochial
school is well conducted, and gives eveiy instruc-
tion to the children of the poor inhabitants. Tlie
neighbourhood furnishes abuudance of coal and
lime, aud there is a little done in the weavingof cot-
ton goods. There are no fair."*, nor is there any market.

twenty-four north-east of Girvan, and six to the
eastward of Strait/)n. It is said to derive its name
from a lady of rank, who built a castle near the
place, vvhence it was called Dame Ellen's town, the
lady's name being Ellen. It has, of late years, be-
come a fashionable resort for parties of plea-
sure, particularly for gentlemen, who are fond of
fishing, as this amusement may be pursued with
every prospect of success in the small pleasure boats,
that await the visitors on the banks of Loch Doon.
This beautiful pisce of water, six miles long, abounds
with trout, and has a hard rocky shore. On an is-
land in this lake are the remains of Balloch castle.
A fishing party, a short time ago, fancied they per-
ceived something like boats at the bottom of the
Loch; the inhabitants of Dalniellington hearing this,
seventeen of them provided themselves with all ne-
cessary apparatus for the expedition, and succeeded
in raising, and lauding at llie castle, three canoes,
the largest mea.suring twenty-four feet in length
by four in breadth, aud hewn out of a solid log of
oak. Two of them were very much decayed, but
one was in so complete a state of preservation, as
to admit of being paddled up and down for a consi-
derable time. The town itself, situated at the bot-
tom of a hill, is pleasantly pervaded by the Murk,
a river, over which are two useful bridges.—
Near to Dalmellingtou is a much admired eminence,
from the top of which is to be viewed a complete
scene of rude and lofty mountains. Two woollen
manufactories, and the weaving of cotton goods,
give employment to a great part of the industrious
population. Fairs are held in Vlarch, May, and
December.
POST OFFICE.— Post Muster, Mr. Robt. Smith. The mail arrives ever Sunday, Tuesday, and
Friday afteruuouat two, and is despatched at five the same mornings.
