 places visited being Dr Grierson's Museum at Thornhill, the 

 ancient devotional cross at Boatford, Penpont Church and 

 Churchyard, and Glenwhargen Craig. At the Museum, which 

 was open to the party through the courtesy of the Trustees, Mr 

 and Mrs Kerr were most attentive, and before leaving a hearty 

 vote of thanks was accorded to them. Mr James Barbour acted 

 as cicerone at the Devotional Cross, and pointed out its archi- 

 tectural and other features, drawing attention to the fact that it 

 differed greatly from the engravings hitherto published. At 

 Penpont Rev. A. Pa ton and Mr R. Robson acted as 

 guides, and at Glenwhargen Dr Mair Robertson kindly provided 

 a most enjoyable repast for the members present. At the close 

 a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Dr Robertson for his 

 kindness in providing the refreshments, and for his assistance in 

 making the arrangements, and also to Mr R. Robson for so much 

 assistance willingly given in making the arrangements.
