The Auld Stackyard
The inscription says "This part of Sanquhar's common land is the traditional site where Councillors were dumped and the Burgh Charter read during the riding of the burgh marches since their revival in 1910."
Note that "dumped" in this context means "thumped on the back". In Scotland a way of celebrating someone's birthday is to "give him/her their dumps."

Opened in 1959 and closed in 1991, this is one of over 300 Royal Observer Corps (ROC) posts across Scotland. In the Cold War era the job of the ROC was to report the positions of the nuclear bomb strikes and monitor resulting fallout areas and relay these back to Group Headquarters.
