Lochmaben Stone
The Lochmaben Stone is a megalith standing in a field, nearly a mile west of the Sark mouth on the Solway Firth, three hundred yards or so above high water mark on the farm of Old Graitney in Dumfries & Galloway in Scotland. Map reference: NY 3123 6600. The area is also known as Stormont. Together with a smaller stone it is all that is left of a stone circle dating back to around 3000BC.
Battle of Sark
The Battle of Sark (alternatively called the Battle of Lochmaben Stone) was fought between England and Scotland in October 1448. A large battle, it was the first significant Scottish victory over the English in over half a century, following the Battle of Otterburn of 1388. It placed the Scots in a position of strength against the English for over a decade, until Edward IV ascended the English throne, and it brought Clan Douglas to greater prominence in Scotland.
Kirkpatrick-Fleming
Kirkpatrick-Fleming is a village in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland. It is located around 5.5 kilometres north-west of Gretna, and 8 kilometres west of Annan, between the Kirtle Water and the A74(M) motorway. The name is derived from the parish church, dedicated to St Patrick, and the Fleming family, the local landowners who resided at Redhall.
Kirtle Water

Below the dam it flows in a generally southerly direction passing Waterbeck and Eaglesfield to the village of Kirtlebridge along which stretch it is closely followed both by the A74(M) motorway and the mainline railway between Carlisle and Glasgow.
