Dumcrieff, a handsome mansion, with finely wooded grounds, in Moffat parish, N Dumfriesshire, on the right bank of Moffat Water, 2 miles SE of Moffat town. Owned first by Murrays, then by the future Sir George Clerk of Penicuik, it was the residence about 1785 of John Loudon Macadam, of road-making celebrity, and next of Burns's biographer, Dr James Currie (17561805), by whom, a few months before his death, it was sold to Dr John Rogerson (1741-1823), court physician at St Petersburg for close upon fifty years. It now belongs to his great-grandson, Lord Rollo, who holds 7220 acres in the shire, valued at £3044 per annum. See Duncrub.
