Location

The site holds an elevated position on Sanquhar Moor, around 1 mile northeast of the town centre.

Sanquhar, with a population of around 2,000, is a small town located towards the north of Dumfries & Galloway and straddles the A76 trunk road.

The town lies approximately 27 miles northwest of Dumfries and 32 miles southeast of Ayr.

Access to the A74(M) motorway is available via the B740 near Crawfordjohn (Junction 13) and the B7040 at Elvanfoot (Junction 14).

The site is accessed from the town centre via St Mary's Street and is set on the northwestern side of Cow's Wynd near Lochside Farm.

Cow's Wynd is a single lane access track and is understood to be in private ownership.

Please Note: We are advised the Title contains no express access servitude rights. Prospective purchasers must therefore satisfy themselves on the rights in the Title and any supplementary rights required by them should be negotiated and obtained directly from the relevant landowner, post completion of the sale.

In addition, Cow's Wynd forms part of the Southern Upland Way coast-to-coast walking trail, which extends 214 miles from Portpatrick in the southwest to Cocksburnpath in the east.

The site also lies around half a mile from Black Loch, which contains a small island and the remains of an iron age round house (cranog).
