Publication Account (1978)

High Street contains a number of fine eighteenth-century dwellings, including the splendid townhouse of the Murray family, Broughtoun House (MacLeod, 1973, 23). Closes, which Heron wrote of, line High street at right angles and lead to outbuildings. A fifteenth-century font stands in the garden of the Selkirk Arms Hotel which has been a hostelry since 1777. The font, which possibly comes from Dundrennan Abbey has been variously used; as a water trough for rain water, a stepping stone, and in an outhouse at Bombie (MacLeod, 1973, 27).

Information from ‘Historic Kirkcudbright: The Archaeological Implications of Development’ (1978).
