built by Robert Biuce, lordof Annandale, and was the
chief residence of the Braces till the end of the thir-
teenth century. It stood on the north-west of the
lake, which was called the Castle Loch, and the castle
was surrounded by a deep moat. This ancient castle
was succeeded by a much lareer fortress, built on a
peninsula on the south-east side of the loch. This
edifice, with its outworks, covered about 16 acres;
after different grants to various relations of the
Bruces, it was annexed, by parliament, in 1487, to the
crown. Some of the walls still exist ; they are of great
thickness, and, with the melnncholy firs which mingle
with tliem, present a gloomy yet interesting mass of
luins. The peiiod of the first erection of Lochniahen
into a royal burgh is of too remote a date for conjec-
ture ; its present charter was granted by James VI,
and bears date 16th of July, 1612, from which it ap-
pears that the town was more than once destroyed
and burnt during the civil wars, its public edifices

JLiOCHIVlABEN is a town of considerable antiquity,
a royal burgh, the seat of presbytery, and capital of
the parish of its name, 65 miles s. of Edinburgh, 70
s. E. of Glasgow, 33 s. e. of Sanquhar, 30 N. w.of Car-
lisle, 21 s. E. of Thornhill, the like distance w. of
Langholm, 15 s. of Moffat, 13 N.w. of Annan, 10 w.n.w.
of Ecclefechan, 8 N.byE. of Dunifiies, and 4 w. of
Lockerbie; situate in a level country, surrounded by
a beautiful amphiteatre of hills, and by all the chat ms
which wood and water can bestow. It traces its oriain
to a very early age, and derives its name from the
loch on which it is so delightfully placed, the word
LocAmaben signifying, in the Scoio-Iiish, the lake on
the white plain. The loth, which is about three miles
in circumference, abounds with several sorts offish —
among others the vendace (or vendise), which is pe-
culiar to these waters, and is said not to be met with
any where else in Britain. The town owes its rise to
the protection of a castle of vast stringtb, which was
