BuRNSwARK Camp. — 5th September, 188.5. 



The last Field Meeting was held in the Annandale District, 

 when it was arranged to Adsit an outcrop of the Silurian rock in 

 the grounds at Castlemilk, proceed thence to Burnswark Camp, 

 and, if time would permit, visit Birrens Camp. A party of thirty 

 left Dumfries by the 11.5 a.m. train for Lockerbie, and on their 

 arrival, they were met by Mr G. Johnstone, who was to conduct 

 the party. Having taken their seats in two waggonettes, they 

 drove through Lockerbie, passed the pretty village of St. Mungo, 

 and halted for a short time on the bridge over the Milk to obtain 

 a view of that picturesque spot. Continuing the drive until 

 Castlemilk was reached, the party alighted there, and inspected 

 the gardens and the site of the old Castle. Under Mr Johnstone's 

 guidance they walked along the bank of the Milk for about half- 

 a-mile, until they arrived at the outcrop, or where the Old Red 

 sandstone and the Silurian formations meet at the surface. The 

 President, Dr Gilchrist, having described the different formations, 

 they returned to the machines, and proceeded on their way to 

 the Camp, halting, however, at Cowdens Old Quarry to enable 

 the geologists to obtain specimens of the Old Red of that district. 

 Burnswark Camp was reached about two o'clock, and here two 

 hours wei-e spent in examining the different encampments and 

 enjoying the delightful view of the surrounding country. 



An adjournment was subsequently made to an old quarry on 

 the southern side, where a short business meeting was held. 

 The Secretary read a sliort description of the Camp, which had 

 boon furnished by Mr J. Lennox. According to Mr Lennox's
