I can only see a Thornhill on the maps for the area. Perhaps you could copy and paste a picture and this may throw a different light on the spelling.

Hello Johnner Kid,

What a nice and detailed colourful map!

What year is the map and by whom?

Does this map cover the whole of Dumfriesshire?

I would love own a copy of this wonderful map for my wall :)

Thanks very much.

Charles

Hi Charles,
The map is the CRAWFORD SURVEY of DUMFRIESSHIRE of 1828.
DGFHS  www.dgfhs.org.uk own an original copy. 
It comprises four sheets, each approx the metric A1 size.
For safe keep and proper preservation, DGFHS have given it to the Ewart Library in Dumfries as a permanent loan.
DGFHS use clips from it to illustrate their MI and OPR publications.
Cheers,
Sy
