Cargen, a rivulet of E Kirkcudbrightshire. It issues from Lochrutton Lake in Lochrutton parish; runs about a mile north-north-eastward to the southern boundary with Terregles; traces that boundary 2½ miles east-north-eastward, and 1¼ mile south-eastward; and proceeds, within Troqueer parish, 2 miles south-south-eastward, to the Nith at a point 2½ miles S of Dumfries. Its course, till it leaves Terregles, is brisk and picturesque; but, through Troqueer, is sluggish and naturally tame. Cargen House, Troqueer, 3¼ miles SSW of Dumfries, is a large edifice, with tasteful grounds and a fine mineralogical museum; its owner, Patrick Dudgeon, Esq. (b. 1817), holds 871 acres in the shire, valued at £1631 per annum. On the left or opposite bank, ¾¾ mile higher up, stands Cargenholm
