Dalswinton Loch
This unremarkable stretch of water deserves to be better known since it was here on 14/10/1787 that the worlds first steamship took to the water. Unnamed, it was built by Patrick Miller, (1731-1815) the landowner, & designed & engined by Wm. Symington (1763-1831).25 feet in length it was twin hulled with paddles between the hulls & achieved a speed of 5 knots. A number of notables were on board but surprisingly, since he was a tenant of Miller's & farmed across the River Nith at Ellisland, there is no mention of Robert Burns having been there. Nor did he mention it. Symington was later responsible for the world's first commercial steamship, the "Charlotte Dundas".

From an internet source: "Dalswinton House is a three-storey, classical mansion house, built of red ashlar in 1785. Additions were made in 1920 and it is listed B. It was built for Patrick Millar, among whose close friends was Alexander Nasmyth who, it is thought, may have designed the house for him."

Dalswinton Loch
A small loch used for trout fishing. Called Drum Fishery, day tickets are available. Interestingly this loch does not appear on the 1:50k map but is shown on the 1:25k even though it is of similar size to its neighbour! A quick check on Get-a-map will confirm this.
Update 27-12-08 looks like the OS have re-drawn the 1:50k so the loch now features...
