Old Military Road at Rigfoot
There seems to be some disagreement about the origin of the Old Military Road which ran from Dumfries to Portpatrick, the port for Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries (Stranraer is a modern port). One source states that construction was instigated by James VI to facilitate the "Plantation" of Ulster, another source states that it was built by Cromwell's army. Although the road is traceable (just) over most of its length, it is only between Dumfries and Castle Douglas that it survives as a continuous stretch of modern road. This section is followed by National Cycle Network route 7.
