Kirkintilloch (district)

GD25/1/20 1384 refers to 40s Kirkintulloch. GD25/1/88 1465 is a transumpt of this. In both cases I think 40s is a mistake for 40m.

GD25/1/59 1454 refers to 34m Kirkintulloch.

RMS II (874) 1466 (on original of 1384) refers to the 40 merklands of Kirkintuloch in the barony of Lenzie. 40m also in Charter Chest of the Earldom of Wigtown (31) 1461 & (32) 1464.

GD25/1/24 1392 refers to the Mains (dominical lands) of Kirkintulloch and Sherreve (Shirva), Bar (Barhill?), Gartchewar (Gartshore) and Badcoll (Badcow).

GD25/1/102 1466 refers to the Easter & Wester Mains, Shervy, Bar, Badcol and Wester Gartshore.

GD25/1/103 1466 refers to the 40m Kirkintulloch called Easter & Wester Mains, Shervy, Badcol, Bar and Wester Gartshore.

 

Kirkintilloch (town)

Retours (Dumbarton) (18) 1617 refers to ½ acre and the 3½ acres within the burgh of Kirkintulloch.  Retours (Dumbarton) (42) 1643 refers to 4 acres within the burgh of Kirkintilloch. Retours (Dumbarton) (43) 1644 refers to two acres of the vicarage within Kirkintilloch.

 

Garngabber

AS II (1427) 1668 states that part of the southern boundary of the glebe or oxgang were the lands called Garngaber (Garngabber) – which belonged to Kirkintilloch Chapel. RSS VII (2047) 1579 implies this also. Certainly Duntiblae belonged to Kirkintilloch Chapel and since Garngabber and Duntiblae were neighbours it may be that some or all of the former originally belonged to the latter.

 

Gartshore

Since Wester Gartshore was 7m in 1665 and 8m in 1666 I suspect the actual figure was 7½m or £5 which would match Easter Gartshore. The lands of Wester Gartshore seem to have been much subdivided – see AS II (1283, 1285-1287, 1289-1291, 1293, 1331-1332, 1402, 1459, 1482-1485, 1521). In these sasines many of the units are described as 7s 9½d or 15s 7d or 23s 4d. At first sight such figures do not make much sense until we consider that one-twelfth of 7m is 7s 9⅓d. 15s 7d would therefore represent two-twelfths (or one-sixth) while 23s 4d would be three-twelfths (or one-quarter). I suspect that what we are seeing here is 7m of Wester Gartshore divided into 12 bovates of 7s 9⅓d each. This is intriguing because it may be that carucates in Kirkintilloch consisted of 12 bovates rather than 8. In much of eastern Scotland carucates consisted of 8 bovates but it may be that in Kirkintilloch, as in Kilpatrick (and possibly Campsie), they comprised 12. This theory doesn’t completely solve the arithmetic problem since each Gartshore was probably £5 or 7½m. There would also be a disjunction between a carucate being worth £5 in Kirkintilloch but £20 in parts of Lennox.

Charter Chest of the Earldom of Wigtown (82) 1538 deals with the marches between Gartshore and Badenheath.

 

Badenheath

GD8/180 1563 implies this may have included Ardrehill & Nether Holmes. Badinoch in GD39/1/301 1661 refers to the ‘tower fortalice’.

 

Duntiblae

RH1/2/163 1399 refers to the gift of Drumteblay (Duntiblae) with its mill to the chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Kyrkyntolach. (See also RMS 1 App 2 p 643 Index A No 1895, Index B No 49 & Register of Glasgow I, No 319 pp 296-298). See also under Garngabber.

RMS V (2311) 1593 (on an original of 1567) states that half of Dunteblay was 1m OE – therefore the whole was 2m.

Register of Glasgow, II, No 365, p 390, 1451 & Register of Cambuskenneth No 140 of 1525 show the dedication to have been to St Ninian.

 

AS II (1427) 1668 states that part of the southern boundary of the glebe or oxgang were the lands called Garngaber (Gartingiber) – which belonged to Kirkintilloch Chapel.

 

In 1451 Robert Fleming of Biggar endowed a chaplainry in Kirkintilloch church (Register of Glasgow II p 390). In 1458 he added to the endowment (Register of Glasgow II pp 408-409).

 

Charter Chest of the Earldom of Wigtown (187) 1619 refers to the Chaplainry of the Virgin Mary of Kirkintilloch.
