SANQUHAR

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 154 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SANQUHAR , a royal and police
burgh
  of Dumfriesshire,
Scotland
 . Pop. (1901) 1379. It is situated on the Nith, 26 m.
N.W. of Dumfries by the Glasgow &
South
 -Western railway. It became a
burgh
  of barony in 1484 and a royal burgh in 1596,
and was the scene of the exhibition of the
Covenanters
 ' Declaration, attached to the market cross in 168o by Richard Cameron and in 1685 by James Renwick. The
industries
  include coal-mining and the making of bricks and tiles, spades and shovels. The coal-field, measuring 7 M. long by 22 M. broad, is the most extensive in the shire and is the main source of
supply
  for Dumfries and other towns. The cattle and sheep fairs are important, and an agricultural show is held every May. Sanquhar Castle, on a hill overlooking the Nith, once belonged to the Crichtons, ancestors of the marquess of Bute, but is now a ruin. Eliock
House
 , in the parish, was the birthplace of James (" the Admirable ")
Crichton
  in 156o.
