IRKPATRICK DURHAM is a parish and village partly aiable; the former character prevailing in the
—the latter a small one, is 85 mile- s.s w. fi oni Sdiir-j north, the later in the south of the.dMiict. A fair

fries, 7 e. from Parton, and 6 n. from Ca-tle Douglas. ' '
The parish which is skirted by the Utr water tin its
western side derives its name from the old church
dedicated to St. Patrick, and Durham, a hairnet whete
it stood— the latter appellation signifying the 'hamlet
on the water.' A new church in the Gothic s>vle wit';
a handsome tower, has been erected on the site of the
old church, built two centuries ago. Formerly a
woollen mill furnished employment to many inhabi-
tants of the village, but it is now undisiinguisi ed by
manufactures of any kind, and is a place of no trade
but that which belongs to a few shops, for the recinrn-
cal accommodation of the inhabitants. 'Ihe parish,
which is between nine and ten miles in length, and
about four miles iu breadth, is partly pastoral and
(old >tyle.)
Old Bridge of Ukr is a very inconsiderable vil-
lage in the paiish of, and two miies from Kiikpanick-
