Tinwald Mill, Dumfriesshire

Hi truebritmega,

That's interesting and thanks for posting.  It's some time since I looked at my Nicholson/Jardines so I need to refresh my memory by looking at my files.  I know the parents of my Helen Jardine were David Jardine and Jane Dinwiddie, who were both deceased by 1860.  I don't think I have any more info. on the Jardines as yet but I will check over the weekend when I should have a bit more time.

Am I correct in thinking Applegarth is Lochmaben ?

well, Im not sure if its clased as Lochmaben now, some places online class it as Lockerbie, its also listed as applegarthtown...

From what I cans ee, the Jardines also owned Millhousebridge and Templand as part of there clan, land? (sorry I dont know the terminology) But My helens father, was one of the Baronetcy of Nova Scotia, passed down to him

If there are pictures of him, and members of his family further back too... surely I should be able to find a photo of my Helen? lol

And with Jardine Hall Estate being as big as it appears to be... surely there would be more photos of it, and its lodges etc?


Jardine Hall, apparently later became Holt School... this is then classed as Lockerbie from the results I have been coming across....


Applegarth(or girth) church even has  Jardine vaults, and a "Jardine Aisle" within the church

Hi, did you manage to locate the Mill? I know where it was.

Applegarth is just North of Lockerbie, Lochmaben is just south of Lockerbie

Historically, and for research purposes, Applegarth is a parish in its own right. Lochmaben is a separate parish and I believe that Lockerbie is in the parish of Dryfesdale.

Hi Harry, it's on Low Road... I live next door :-)

There are several photos of Jardine Hall on the RCAHMS Canmore site. Given the extent of the surrounding estate photos of other parts may have their own site entries. I had a look for both Tinwald Mills as well but although i could see photos of the farmhouse I couldn't locate those of the mill building next to Low Road

https://canmore.org.uk/site/256045/jardine-hall

Searching Canmore is sometimes easier by site than by keyword, so if looking for other sites in the vicinity use the open in a larger map option, zoom out a little then from the right hand menu select the top option and then terrestrial (this shows the sites as coloured squares on the map) , tap or click on a square and a pop up window provides a brief description and a link to the site which may have further details and images.

Hope this helps
