Wilsons Of The Smiddy At Lochfoot

A Memory of Lochrutton Loch.

From at least 1793 well into the 19th Century, my GGGgrandfather, William Wilson and his descendants were blacksmiths at Lochfoot, and owned the wee houses there. My grandfather and his brothers had memories of visiting the smiddy from their home in Dumfries and seemed to be very happy there, beside the Loch. For those interested, there are still signs of the smiddy at the edge of the loch behind the houses. I would be interested in having information about Lochfoot Wilsons or the smiddy, if anyone has it.
