Garpol or Garlpool Water, a burn of Kirkpatrick-Juxta parish, Dumfriesshire, rising close to the Lanarkshire border at an altitude of 1300 feet, and winding 55/8 miles east-by-southward, partly along the Moffat boundary, but mainly through the interior, till, after forming a cascade near Achincass Castle, it falls into Evan Water at a point 1½ mile SW of Moffat town. A very strong chalybeate, called Garpol Spa, near it, is properly not a spa or spring, nor perennial, but is formed, fitfully and occasionally, in warm weather, by rain water imbibing and dissolving mineral constituents from ferrugino-aluminous soil.—Ord. Sur., sh. 16, 1864.
