Paisley Abbey properties in the Paisley Rental

The Paisley Rental (Appendix L of Cameron Lees) gives a great deal of invaluable information about Paisley properties. However, as a rental, it gives more detail about rents than assessments. I have only given an assessment when that is clearly shown by the rental. For further discussion see text file.

 

Boquhanran

10m Boquhanran (RSS III (2800) 1548) – with 2m Auchingre. RMS V (1794) 1590 gives 10m OE Boquhanrane ‘cum communi pasturagio lie scheilding infra lie Glen de Glengorf secundum veterem consuetudinem’ (with common grazing ‘the sheiling’ in the glen of Glengorf following old custom). I do not know where Glen Gorf is but it may be for Glen Garbh (i.e. Rough Glen). See also RMS VI (825) 1598-99 on original of 1585.

 

Chapel-land of Boquhanran

Cameron Lees, Appendix L, p cxxix, refers to:

The chapelland of Boquhanran set to Will Atkyn payand therfor zheirly xiijs iiijd wyth ane bed to trawellouris for goddis sak and our fundouris wyth all fredomys wsyt of befor xxvi decembris in anno xviij.

(The chapel land of Boquhanran set to Will Atkyn paying therefore yearly 13s 4d with a bed for travellers for God’s sake and our founders’, with all freedoms accustomed prior to 26 December [15]18).

This obligation to provide accommodation to travellers is reminiscent of Beda Ferdan over 300 years before.

 

Dalmuir

Cartularium de Levenax p 42, Malcolm, earl of Lennox to Walter Sprewl:

totam terram meam de Dalmore … Faciendo … forinsecum servitium domini Regis quantum pertinet ad quartam partem unius carucate terre in Levenax

(my whole land of Dalmore, … doing … the King’s forinsec service – as much as pertains to a quarter-carucate in Lennox)

 

Duntocher or Milton

Both these names seem to have been used from the late 15th century. Originally £4 6s 8d, it divided into two halves in the late 16th century. 46s 8d (3½m) Drumtocher & Millcroft (1587). ‘Half the town & lands of Milntoun of Duntochir & the lands called Milnecroft – in all a 40s & 40d land’ (40s 40d = 3¼m) in AS II (733) 1643. J Bruce, Kilpatrick, p 265, states that the Duntocher farms became Milton-Douglas and Milton-Spreull. The mill was obviously an important one and is called the mill of the Lennox in the Paisley Rental.

 

Dun Otter/Dalnotter

Fraser, Lennox, II, No 206, pp 403-4 – Charter by Malcolm, son of Maldouen earl of Lennox to Hugh, son of Simon, of:

terras de Dallenoter et de Blarmor que site sunt intra Candouan et Lentrelloc

(lands of Dallenoter and of Blarmor which are situated between Candouan and Lentrelloc)

Fraser dates this c. 1248 but GD124/1/405 is a confirmation by Alexander II, dated 15 June 1235, that Malcolm, son of the Earl of Lennox, had granted Dallenoter and Blarmor to Hugh, son of Simon. The NRS catalogue entry reads lands of Dallenoter and Blarmor, lying between Candouan and Sentressoc. This also appears in the POMS online database which renders the last two place-names as Candoueran and Senterssoc. POMS states Blarmor is now Braidfield or Dalmuir and Candoueran is possibly Cleddans. I do not find these attributions particularly persuasive. Dalmuir appears on p 42 of the Lennox Cartulary as Dalmore in the late thirteenth century. Braidfield apears more likely but looks too far away. It is even possible that Blarmor was Dunnotyr’s unnamed hill-pasture referred to in RMP p 176. RMP pp 171-2 also describes a unnamed grazing north of Backan and refers to Salvari where Dufgall’s men had their sheilings.

 

Candouan or Candoueran and Lentrelloc or Sentressoc or Senterssoc are problematic. For Dalnotter and Blarmor to lie between them we should be looking for significant place-names to east and west. There is nothing in the local toponymy which is anything like them and I know of nothing in the historical record. There is another enigmatic contemporary place-name which features in the Lennox Cartulary called Strochelmakessoc (p 27) or Arochelmakessec (p 107) which was near Auchincloich and which presumably had to do with St Kessog’s chapel at Chapel Couch – but this seems too far distant.

 

The place-name Dunnotyr occurs in the Paisley Register (p 176) in a document dateable to c. 1271-1274 (not p. 1488 as suggested in the Tabula p xiv).

It is directed to Laurence, dean of Lennox, who was active c. 1274 (see Watt: Fasti, p 233, quoting CL pp 85-6). It also refers to a property called Kynmunchayr which belonged to Hugh Fleming (Hugonem Flandrensem) who, (as Hugonis Flandrensis), was a member of an inquest in 1271 (RMP pp 191-2). (For discussion of Kynmunchayr see under Kilmannan in Killearn parish). The context of the document is a dispute over whether the lands of Dunnotyr properly belonged to Paisley Abbey. Hugh Fleming was being held answerable which confirms that he claimed Dunnotyr as his own and can therefore be identified with the Hugh, son of Simon, who was granted Dunnotyr in or before 1235.

 

This Hugh, son of Simon, appears in other documents of the same period. He was a witness to Fergus Cunningham’s resignation of ‘both’ Drumdinanis, Cultbuche (Kilbowie) and Reinfode (RMP p 173) which must have taken place after Paisley Abbey’s court triumph of 1233. Hugh, son of Simon, and his presumed father, Simon, son of Bertolf, were both present at an agreement between Gilbert, son of Samuel of Renfrew, and Maldowen, earl of Lennox, in 1235 (RMP 170-1). Gilbert had instituted legal proceedings against the earl because he (Gilbert) had to give up his claim on Monachkennaran despite having a charter and confirmation for it from Maldowen. (Paisley claimed Monachkennaran as a Kilpatrick possession and the preceding three documents in RMP (pp 166-70) show the evidence led and the overwhelming ecclesiastical and secular influences Paisley brought to bear in order to oust Gilbert). Gilbert had not just proved contumacious with Paisley but now he wanted satisfaction from the earl. Maldowen agreed to pay him off with 60 merks and the earl’s guarantors (‘plegios’) included Hugh, son of Simon, and Simon, son of Bertolf. In a Lennox context Hugh Fleming was an important, well-connected and wealthy man.

 

This is the only time the name Dunnotyr appears in the Paisley Register and so the Abbey either dropped their claim or were unsuccessful. It is difficult to know if this was because they had no claim or if it was weak. There are a number of early Paisley properties which still cannot be identified. These include Baccan, Finbealach, Drumcreue, Drumdinanis, Reinfode, Sedes Patricii and Salvari. Dunnotyr cannot be the same as Baccan (p 176) because they occur in the same document. It cannot be either Drumdinanis or Reinfode (p 173) because these were held by Fergus Cunningham. Salvari (p 171) was where the men of Dufgall, Maldowen’s brother, had their sheilings. Finbealach was likely a pass in the Kilpatrick Hills (pp 171-2) and Sedes Patricii (literally Patrick’s Seat) was probably very small. This only leaves Drumcreue.

 

RRS IV Pt 1 No 258 p 217 1271 should be seen as part of an attempt to unscramble another disputed set of Kilpatrick properties (cf  RMP pp 180-3). The editors identify Fimbalauch as Finnich, Backan as Ballagan and Druncreue as Drumcruin. I know of no evidence to support these identifications and regard them as wrong. However, the fact that John de Wardroba and his wife Mary claimed these properties as heirs of Dufgall, Maldowen’s brother, proves that neither Fimbalauch nor Druncreue can be equated with Dunnotyr. This exhausts the list of unidentified Paisley properties. However there is one other relevant property in the Paisley records.

 

Drunlosset features on p 163 of the Paisley Register where Dufgall, brother of Maldoven, earl of Lennox, grants four properties to Paisley:

totam terram de Fimbelach, cum medietate de Duncreue, et cum quibusdam terrulis que Craginbrentalach et Drunlosset appellantur

(all of Fimbelach and half Duncreue, and with certain ‘terrulis’ (small pieces of land) called Craginbrentalach and Drunlosset)

Craginbrentalach was probably Craigbanzeoch (NS 4974) which was the shieling for Edinbarnet. Drunlosset suggests the ridge above Losset which would just be pasture-ground. The use of the word ‘terrulis’ implies they were either physically small or of relatively low value.

 

The place-name Losset is mentioned twice in the Register of Paisley (pp 164 & 165). It is obvious from the context and order of properties that Losset is the same as Drunlosset above. Drunlosset looks to be composed of two elements: Sc.G. druim (hill-ridge) + Sc.G. losaid (kneading-trough). The latter occurs as a standalone place-name in Islay and Kintyre and the meaning usually given is that this was a site of remarkable fertility. OS 6″ 1st Series Dumbartonshire Sheet XXIII (1861) marks Lusset Cottage just E of Kilpatrick Railway Station and Lusset Burn just to SE (NS 4672/4772). Modern transcriptions of the nineteenth-century Ordnance Survey Name Books are available at www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/. On the OS 6″ map (as above) Dalnotter Burn and Lusset Burn are marked hard by each other although the latter does not appear in the Name Book. However Lusset Glen does appear in the Name Book where it is described as ‘A Glen along Dalnotter Burn’. If Lusset and Dunnoter were so closely entwined in the nineteenth century it seems reasonable to conclude they were always so. However the name Dalnotter also applied to farmland to the east whereas the name Lusset seems to have been confined to Lusset Glen. According to Bruce (p 252) the Lusset Burn formed the western boundary of Dalnotter estate. Was Paisley’s claim to Losset the basis for its claim to Dalnotter c. 1271-4?

 

At this distance it is impossible to know. If all that Dufgall actually granted to Paisley was a grazing called Drumlosset then perhaps Paisley were just taking a gamble by claiming Losset and so Dalnotter. Dufgall’s gift to Paisley on pp 162-3 gives the impression of being dictated (literally) by Paisley clerics. It is the only document which refers to ‘half of’ Duncreue and the use of the description ‘terrulis’ is also unusual. The two documents which refer to Losset were drawn up in the parish church of Ayr in 1234 and are very obviously the work of church officials. It is easy to see that they would have been dependent on Paisley men to provide the details. Who would notice if Lusset replaced Drumlusset? Perhaps it was all part of some sinister proprietorial creep by the monks.

 

Anyway they seem to have met their match in Hugh Fleming. Did he persuade them that Losset and Drumlosset should not be conflated? Did he have more powerful secular connections than Gilbert Samuelson of Renfrew? Is it, perhaps, significant that he was given Dalnotter by Malcolm, Maldowen’s son, and not by Maldowen himself? Or did he come to a settlement with Paisley? It is interesting that Dalnotter is one of only two properties that Paisley did not pursue through the courts – the other being Gartconnel.

 

Dunnotyr later appears as Dalnotir (Dalnotter) which belonged to Isabel Flemyng c. 1360 (GD124/1/411 & 412). In January 1368/9 the Flemings exchanged their lands of Dalnotar (Dalnotter) for lands in Lenzie (Kirkintilloch) – see GD45/27/142.

 

The names alternate confusingly between Dun- and Dal- as the following examples illustrate:

Dunnotyr in RMP p 176 c. 1271-1274; Dunotyr in Pont (32) & Blaeu; Dun Otter in Roy (GM19); Dunotter in AS II (787) 1653; Dunottir in AS II (1257) 1666.

Dalnotir in GD124/1/411 & 412 c. 1360; Dalnotar in GD45/27/142 1368-9; Dalnoter in GD124/1/418 [1377]; two Dalnoteris in GD124/1/427 1448; Dalnottaris in RMS II (657) 1458-9; Dalnotter in OS (1861).

J Bruce, Kilpatrick, p 252, gives estate bounds. Bruce, p 179, says Dalnottar lands lay on E side of Lusset burn.

 

Laing Charters (3052-4) 1710 also refer to Oatter.

 

Auchinleck

RMS V (128) 1580-1 (on original of 1580) gives 1½ quarter parts of Auchinlek extending to 37s 6d OE. This implies Auchinleck as a whole was 100s or £5. We have references to 37s 6d Auchenleeck (Charter Chest of the Earldom of Dundonald, No 143, 1587), 25s of Auchinleck & 12s 6d of Auchinleck (Dumbarton Retours (33) 1637); 12s 6d of Auchinleck (Dumbarton Retours (34) 1637); 12s 6d and 6s 3d Achinleck (AS I (498) 1673); 31s 3d of Achinleck (AS I (499) 1673). (31s 3d = 25s + 6s 3d (or ¼ of 25s)). These all represent portions of what was once a 100s or £5 unit.

 

Old Edinbarnet

Cameron Lees, Appendix L, (Paisley Rental) p lxix 1465 gives a quarter rented at 20s 20d, a bovate rented at 10s 10d and an eighth rented at 10s 10d. The whole (a carucate, although that word is not mentioned) was made up of eight parts (or bovates) and amounted to £4 6s 8d (6½m). However RMS V (128) 1580-1 does suggest the whole was £5. There is a disjunction between the number of bovates here and the number in other Old Kilpatrick farms.

 

Cochno

Cochinach (or similar) appears over 20 times in the Paisley Register. On p 165 and p166 we find references to:

 

illa dimidia carrucate terre de Cochmanach or illa dimidia carrucata terre de Cochmanach

(that half carucate land of Cochmanach)

 

which Paisley Abbey decided to leave in Dougal’s hands during his lifetime. It was 1234 and Dougal (of the Lennox family) had lost his legal battle with Paisley Abbey for the lands belonging to Kilpatrick church. This half-carucate was plainly a sweetener but I don’t think it meant all of Cochno.

 

By the latter half of the sixteenth century Cochno was divided into the two farms of Easter and Wester Cochno, each worth 10m. In the seventeenth century the two Cochnos are often associated with Belwarthill, Hutchestoun, Coillieheuchland and Hoill but I am not sure quite how these properties articulated with Cochno. RMS V (1956) 1591 suggests E. Cochno included a loch and fishery. Blaeu gives Cochna Loch to the north – as it is today.

 

Belwarthill

This is known in PR as the chapel-land of West Cochno. The problem is that the current Belwarthill Hospital is some 5½ kms from West Cochno. I do not know if this was always the case or whether the name has been transferred. It is linked with Cochno not just in the PR but also in AS II (15) 1618, (134) 1622, (751) 1647 and AS I (224) 1622. See also under Renfrew parish.

 

Hutcheson

Linked with Cochno in AS II (15) 1618, (134) 1622 and AS I (224) 1622.

 

Coillieheuchland

Linked with Cochno in AS II (15) 1618, (134) 1622 and AS I (224) 1622. Ross (1777) marks Coal just inside W. Kilpatrick.

 

Hoill

Linked with Cochno in AS II (15) 1618, (134) 1622 and AS I (224) 1622.

 

Duntiglennan

Spellings in RMP include Drumtechglunan (p 157), Drumthecglunan (p 158), Drumthglunan (p 159, 204, 205), Dumtechglunan (p 166) and Drumtglunan (p 207). Spellings in PR are Duntrachman (p lxviii), Drumtoclunan (p lxxvi), Dunterclunan (p lxxviii, xciii, cxxv, cxxxvi 1521, clxiii). Is the middle element from tech or teach ‘house’? I have analysed all the farm-names in Lorn, Islay, Kintyre and Cowal – areas which were unequivocally Dalriadic. There is not a single tech– name amongst them. Could Drumtechglunan be an example in Dumbartonshire? The only other name in Lennox which might include this element is Inveruchitan in Luss parish.

Cameron Lees, Appendix L, (Paisley Rental) p cxxxvi, 1521, gives £4 13s 4d land (7m). ¼ = 23s 4d Dirtaglennan (AS I (182) 1621) so whole = 93s 4d (7m). AS II (799) 1653 refers to half the 46s 8d (3½m) Duntaglenan; AS II (839) 1654 refers to 23s 4d (i.e. half of 46s 8d) Duntiglenan.

 

Old Kilpatrick

AS II (761) 1648 refers to half the 22/2½ (22s 2½d?) land of Easter Kilpatrick. AS II (1319) 1666 refers to 22s 2⅔d land of Kilpatrick. 22s 2⅔d would be ⅓ of 66s 8d or 5m (or one-sixth of 10m). AS I (497) 1673 refers to 8s 4d land called Ridge Cowbutt which was (part of?) the one-sixth part of 10m Easter Kilpatrick. (See H Campbell’s comments – which the arithmetic supports). See Bruce, 1893, p 179 ff for boundaries and farms included (Gavinburn, Mount Pleasant, Blackmailing, Closs, Hole, Craigleith & Burnbrae). Bruce, p 181, refers to 1/12th of E Kilpatrick extending to 11s 3d land OE in 1784. Now 12 x 11s 3d actually comes to 10m 1s 8d but I think we can overlook this as the sort of minor arithmetic discrepancy that creeps in over the centuries. (One-twelfth of 10m would be 11s 1⅓d). The point is that Easter Kilpatrick was divided into twelfths which adds to the other evidence that in this parish, as elsewhere in the Lennox, carucates had 12 bovates each. Wester Kilpatrick included Gavinburn.

 

Morishland

In PR p lxvii, 1465 it is coupled with Huchon Lande; on p lxxv with Huchonland; on p xcii with Huchonisland. The latter does not appear in the later sections of the rental so the name may have fallen from use. Because Morishland was such a small property (2m) I am inclined to think Huchon Land (Hugh’s land?) was part of it (probably half). From the internal evidence it is probable they were right beside Kilpatrick church – perhaps sandwiched between the farms of East and West Kilpatrick. I think this was the property associated with providing hospitality and have dealt with this issue at length in the text file for this parish. 2m Moreisland RMS V (128) 1580, 2m Morishland (Charter Chest of the Earldom of Dundonald, No 143, 1587).

½ Morisland was 6s 8d (½m) in AS I (619) 1675.

 

Spittal (Glenarbuck)

J Bruce, Kilpatrick, pp 155 & 184 locates this at Glenarbuck. It must therefore be regarded as distinct from the Temple of Auchentorlie. With the fishery called the ‘Spittale-schot’ in RMS II (1383) 1478. Linked to Auchentorlie and Dunnerbuck in RMS IV (530) 1550 – + the fishery called Spittellschottis. (Again in Dumbarton Retours (6) 1602 & (17) 1617, (69) 1676, (78) 1685).  Part of £10 lands in AS I (4) of 1617. Referred to in RMS II (1383) 1478 + fishery of Spittale-schot. Specified as 20s (1½m) in RSS II (3301) 1539-40, AS II (859) 1654 & (1448) 1668 where it is linked with the fishing called the Spittal Shoot in the River Clyde. See also AS I (561) 1674. Bruce, p 154, gives a 1752 reference to Bowland of Spittle (now Bowling).

 

Auchentorlie and Dunnerbuck

Auchintwerely & Dunnerbok were linked c. 1360 (GD124/1/411); in 1466 (RMS II (871) and together £10 in 1489 (RMS II (1868-9)) and (with Spittal) in 1550 (GD8/145 & RMS IV (530)). In RMS IV (932) 1554 there is reference to an 8m of Auchintwerely & Dunnerbok in 1550. Auchintuirle is given as 5m in AS I (56) 1618. AS II (76) 1619 refers to 26s 10d Auchintourlie and 10m Denerback & Auchintourlie. The Auchentorlie and Dunnerbuck estate also included a fishery called ‘Cruikitschot’ on the Clyde.

See Bruce, 1893, p 202 for farms included.

 

Temple (Auchentorlie)

Distinct from Spittal above. See J Bruce, Kilpatrick, pp 198 & 224.

 

Dumbuck

J Bruce, Kilpatrick, pp 106 & 235, states that Carcaston was the old name for the Mains of Dumbuck. Fraser, Chiefs of Colquhoun, I, p 173, gives 2m Garcastoun, Long Inche & Green Inche in 1595. (For Green Inch see under Milton Island in table above.)

 

Chapelton

See J Bruce, Kilpatrick, pp 231-2. He states High Chapelton became Mattockhill (NS 429749).

 

Mains of Colquhoun

Cartularium de Levenax p 25, Maldoney, earl of Lennox, granted Umfridus de Kilpatrik:

totam terram de Colquhoune … faciendo inde … tertiam partem servitii unius militis

(the whole land of Colquhoun … doing thence … the third part of the service of one knight).

 

Colquhoun is one of the 14 ‘davachtis’ referred to in 1223 (RMS VII (190) 1609).

Documents such as RMS VI (1373) 1602, RMS VIII (2239) 1633 and RMS IX (489) 1636 suggest Dunglas was at one time a centre for Colquhoun.

 

Barnhill

AS I (584) 1674 refers to ⅔ of the lands of Barnehill – 35s 6d land in all. The whole lands should therefore amount to 53s 3d but it is more likely that this should be 53s 4d (4m). Dumbarton Retours (81) 1685 refers to ‘binis partibus 25 (vel 35)s 6d’ (two parts 25 (or 35)s 6d) which again suggests ⅔ at 35s 6d. The lands are described as within the barony of Colquhoun. Fraser, Chiefs of Colquhoun, II, p 263, refers to 2m land of wester half of Barnhill in 1543.
