BIGGAR,
A
Small town in Lanarkshire, in the parish of
the same name, situated 27 miles south-west of
Edinburgh, 36 miles from Glasgow, 11 from La-
nark, and 16 from Peebles. The main street, though
not regular, is broad and spacious ; and the church,
which was built by Malcolm IIL is worthy the no-
tice of strangers. It was dedicated to the Virgin
Mary, by Lord Fleming, in 1545, and largely en-
dowed for a provost, eight prebends, four smging
boys, and six poor men. The chief employment of
the inhabitants, is weaving for the Glasgow house.?.
Tradition reports a bloody engagement to have takeri
place near the town, betwixt the Scots, under Wal-
lace, and the English army, who drove the latter
into a morass, where most of them perished. The
parish extends in length about six miles, and about
threeand a half in breadth. Biggar has three an-
nual fairs, viz. the last Thursday in January O. S.
the second Thursday in July, and the last Thursday
in October, O. S. and its market is Thursday.
POST OFFICE. — Post Master,Mi\ Alexander Moultree. Post arrives from Lanark and Glas-
gow every morning at ten, and from Mountbog and Edinburgh every morning at eleven. Post des-
patched to Lanark and Glasgow every morning at eleven, and to Mountbog and Edinburgh at the same
