Tundergarth
Tundergarth is a village and parish in Annandale, Dumfriesshire. This place is supposed to have derived its name, signifying in the British language the "Inclosure at the Oak hill", from the circumstance of its having formerly abounded with wood. It extends in length about 12 miles, with a varying breadth of from one to two miles, and is bounded on the north-west by the parishes of Dryfesdale and Hutton and Corrie on the north-east by Westerkirk, on the south-east by Langholm, Middlebie, and Hoddom and on the south by St Mungo.
The two principal summits being Crive and Grange Fell, which rise about 900 feet above sea-level. The interior is watered by numerous streams falling into Milk Water, which traces the greater part of the western boundary. The village of Tundergarth is about three miles east of Lockerbie, situated on Milk Water, near the Roman way to Brunswark Hill. Here was formerly an old castle of the Johnstones.
