This article appears in Volume V07, Page 762 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DALBEATTIE , a police
burgh
  of
Kirkcudbrightshire
 ,
Scotland
 . Pop. (Igor) 3469. It lies on Dalbeattie Burn, 141 m. S.W. of Dumfries by the Glasgow &
South
 -Western railway. The town
dates
  from 1780 and owes its rise to the granite quarries at Craignair and elsewhere in the vicinity, from which were derived the supplies used in the construction of the Thames Embankment, the docks at Odessa and Liverpool and other works. Besides
quarrying
 , the
industries
  include granite-polishing, concrete (crushed granite) works, dye-works,
paper
 -mills and artificial manures. The estuary of the Urr, known as Rough Firth, is navigable by ships of from 8o to Too tons, and small vessels can ascend as far as the mouth of Dalbeattie Burn, within a mile of the town. A mile to the north-west stand the ruins of the castle of Buittle or Botel, where lived John de
Baliol
 , founder of
Baliol
  college, who had married Dervorguila, daughter of Alan (d. 1234), the last " king " of Galloway.
