Enterkinfoot history

---

The area is famous for its association with the Covenanters and the events of the so-called ‘Killing Times’ that occurred during the reigns of Charles II and James VII and II and led to the establishment of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. The village is now consistently known as ‘Enterkinfoot’ with its source 5 miles (8 km) away on the western slope of Lowther Hill.

Enterkinfoot Mill and Burn

Timothy Pont’s map of circa 1583-96 shows ‘Interk (?) Mill’ at the same position as the later mill. The miller’s house is of a red sandstone construction and the lean-to extensions at each gable end once housed a smithy and a shop respectively.
