N.E. of Annan, the terminus of a branch line connecting with the North British railway system at Riddings Junction. The Esk is crossed by a three-arched stone bridge, uniting the old town on the left bank with the new on the right, and a suspension bridge. Ewes Water, which falls into the river, is spanned by a two-arched bridge, 1 m. N. of the town.

hospital

for aged poor. Already famous for its plaids and blankets, the prosperity of the burgh advanced when it took up the manufacture of tweeds. Distilling, brewing, dyeing and tanning are also important industries. The Esk and Liddel being favourite fishing streams, Langholm is the headquarters of the association which protects the rights of anglers. About 1m. to the N.W. stands Langholm
Lodge
 , a seat of the duke of Buccleuch, and some 4 M. S.E. is Gilnockie Tower, the peel-
house
  that belonged to Johnny Armstrong, the freebooter, who was executed by order of James V. in 1530.
