The revival fires spread from Biggar.
"The awakening and revival has also now commenced in the parishes of Broughton and Skirling, about 2 miles distance from this and at Kirkurd and Newlands the great work has been going on for some time, 8 miles distance. Crowded meetings were held here every night for some time".
