https://iknowmyownheart.co.uk/anne-lister-diary-transcriptions/anne-lister-diary-1828/anne-lister-diary-august-1828/7-august-1828/There is this possible reference to it from a diary in 1828:
All belong to the duke. At 8 10/60 very pretty, picturesque, wooded, white village of Gannaby (as pronounced)
4. Good, new church little distance right. Broad gravel-bedded Esk just below us right & cross 3 arch bridge over it. Water very low now. Beautiful here. At 8 25/60 little village of
Car-Saddle (as pronounced), white straw-thatched & some blue-slated cottages. River below. Rocky bed. Wooded banks with large, high 1 arch bridge which we cross. Very beautiful. At a short distance (right) Glenochy Castle
5, Johnny Armstrong6Square tower with the 2 high gables of the ruined roof still standing at the top. 20 minutes thro’ a wood (some fine, picturesque Swiss firs in it with some good larches here & there – how [infinitely] the best of the fir-tribe the Swiss fir!) & at 8¾ cross the Esk again (2 arch bridge), pass a whisky distillery & at 8 53/60 enter the neat little town of Langholm. ‘Tis certainly a “beautiful” richly wooded drive from Longtown to Langholm.
Have a look at the corrections too. For example, from text above:
(4) pretty, picturesque, wooded, white village of Gannaby (as pronounced) Edit 4. I’m pretty sure she means Canonbie [sic.] (5) Wooded banks with large, high 1 arch bridge which we cross. Very beautiful. At a short distance (right) Glenochy Castle Edit 5 She means Gilnockie Castle [sic.].Very rambling travalogue! If it doesn't help with location, at least you know it seems to have been a village?
