This is the opposite view to Image The path is part of the old road mentioned in the end-note. The woods to the left (north) of the path are marked on the map. Large-scale mapping shows the names Barwood Hill and Dumbar there. A nearby house is called Barnhill: Image I believe it was, at a very early period, called Barhill, thus relating it, by the "bar" element, to the other names just mentioned; however, I cannot find a reference to confirm this at the moment. At any rate, it appears as "Barnhill" (the current spelling) on the Blaeu map of the Lennox, which is based on surveys made c.1580s—90s.
