DINWOODIE, a chapelry (ancient), in the parish of
Applegarth, county of Dumfries, 5 miles (N. by W.)
from Lockerbie. It is situated on the road from Lockerbie
to Moffat, and a little east of the river Annan, which
bounds the parish on the west. On Dinwoodie Green is
an inn, which served as a stage to the mail between
London and Glasgow, prior to the introduction of railways.
The Caledonian railway passes here, and has a
station called the Nethercleuch station. Dinwoodie hill,
in the neighbourhood of the village, is 736 feet high.
