SLATE HARBOUR Slate Harbour William Mure Esqr Kirkcudbright
Earl of Selkirk
050 A very small indent on the shore where vessels lie to unload coals etc for the house at St Mary's Isle there is a pretty good road to it, but it is an indifferent place for vessels to lie, being a rocky bottom at the water's edge, by lying 10 chains out they would obtain a sandy bottom, but a rough load across the rocks for carts etc very little use is made of this place it being quite private and in the centre of the ornamented grounds at St Mary's Isle
