Burnswark Camp.—hth September, 1885. 
The last Field Meeting was held in the Annandale District, 
when it was arranged to visit 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 were 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 short description of the Camp, which had 
been furnished by Mr J. Lennox. According to Mr Lennox’s
