The accompanying text, taken from the volume 'Scottish Loch Scenery' by Thomas A. Croal, begins as follows
"The visitor to Scotland, entering from the south, has not far to travel before he reaches one of the loveliest lowland scenes the country posses. The very ancient burgh of Lochmaben lies on a branch line a little distance from Lockerbie junction, and, apart from its picturesque surroundings, the old place presents attractions of its own. It dates from very early times, and its burghers are known, even to this day, as 'the king's kindly tennants', many of the retainers of Robert the Bruce, to whom and whose ancestors the castle belonged, have obtained rights of property in one or other of the 'four towns of Lochmaben', under a tenancy direct from the Crown, hence forming virtually a proprietary interest."
