As it says I have the booklet. It wasn't of much use to me but I'd be happy to do look ups if it helps anyone else out.
There isn't a great coverage as it only goes from 1729-1748 and 1800-1818. Also it generally covers the purchase of mortcloths so doesn't necessarily mean the person listed was buried.
Regards
Tracey

Hi Tracey 
I think I'm interested in the years that don't exist but would be very grateful for anything on Burges(s), Watret and Spalding (sometimes Pauling, Spadie, etc.)
Thanks

Its looks like the Kirkmahoe records were not very well kept unfortunately 
Fingers crossed some of these may be yours!
Watret
John Watret, Taylor, mortcloth Duncow Mar 1739
Mary Watret, wife of Wm Porter, mortcloth Feb 1736
Robert Watret, mortcloth Carzield June 1733
Robert Watret, mortcloth Apr 1735
No Burgess or Spaldings or variants unfortunately.
Tracey

Thank you, Tracey. That's interesting - there's a Porter there as well. I'm going to have to work this lot out!

John may have been buried in one of the gap years. The Crombie may not be related, but I dont think spelling was the minister's/ school master's strong point so you never know, which is why I listed it.
Regards
Tracey

hi again tracey,
yes david is definitely one of mine, b. 1796 d.1803. i think brandyburn must have been a farm. so great, thats a little mystery sorted.
james crombie, i agree with you he could well be a crosbie. he doesn't fit in at present but he will go on file as a possible.
i have another look up for you if thats ok. wauchope scott
regards

Branbyburn is still a farm:
put this grid reference into the o.s website http://getamap.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/getamap/frames.htm or similar and it will show you where it is (its actually named on the OS map)
Brandyburn Farm
Dalswinton
Dumfries and Galloway DG2 0XE
Grid reference NX 928 852
As for your other surnames, we have:
Scot ? mortcloth Carnsalloch Apr 1744
Scot Agnes, coffin Mar 1734
no Wauchope, but we have:
Wauch Janet, mo-in-law to And. Bell, mortcloth Duncow July 1746
Wauch Robert, mortcloth Boat June 1730
I'm not sure what 'boat' means but that is what it says for place, maybe he lived on a boat on the Nith?!? I'd love to know!

hi tracey,
thank you once again, its very interesting to view the os map, i hadn't thought about checking that out. i wonder if 'boat' is an abbreviation of the place name 'boatrig' which is north, north, west of brandburn.
i shall have to do a little digging to check out the names you have listed, they don't immediately fall into place on the tree, but are looking very likely.
these local place names are really interesting dead man's hole, doctor's knowle, wild cat glen etc. i shall have to take a trip up there at some point i think and have a look around.
thanks again tracey, regards purlin

My pleasure Purlin
I must confess I don't know the area North of Dalswinton too well, but the area south I know very well, but I did pass Brandyburn every day on the bus on my way to school 
If you do take a trip up I see by google searching Brandyburn let out a self catering flat! Amazing what you can find out on google!!

did you know the farm as brandyburn then, when you were passing to school. is it a large farm? it seems to have been occupied, perhaps tenanted by members of the family over quite a period.
yes google is a real educator isn't it. i checked out the self catering flat advert. that would be a master stroke wouldn't it to stay there, thanks for that.
kind regards Tracey, thank you
