Dalswinton

The hamlet of Dalswinton is no more than two rows of cottages on either side of the road. But it is an attractive place, built as an estate village. When Robert Burns was living locally at Ellisland Farm, Patrick Millar owned Dalswinton House, in the grounds of which (not open to the public) is Dalswinton Loch. Patrick encouraged William Symington, originally from Leadhills, to experiment with his steam-driven boat on the waters of the loch in the late 18th century, and it is thought that Burns may have been a passenger on one of the sailings.
