014 An Ancient Farm House occupied by Mr. Thomas Howie, Son to the Author of the Scotch Worthies, and the property of the Marquis of Hastings. The following account copied from Robertsons History of Ayrshire corresponds with that which the present Mr. Howie gives of his family.
"Far up among the moors in the Barony of Rowallan, there is a large Sheep Farm Called Lochgoine. It has been possessed for many generations by a family by the name of Howie which from their own account fled here as refugees from the persecution raised against the Waldenses in France, and have resided in this place for some hundred years. They met with their Share of troubles here also, in the persecuting reigns of the two last Kings of the Stewart line. for with the Same unbending Spirit of their Ancestors, they resisted encroachment on the religious liberties.
There are Still preserved here the Colours, that the Covenanters of this Parish carried with them to the Battle of Bothwell Bridge, which some of them had the address to carry off Safe, and they shew also the sword of Capt. [Captain] Paton of Meadowhead and some other things which are considered as precious Relics." The other things Shewn are a drum which belonged to the Covenanters of this Parish, Capt. [Captain] Patons Bible, and Several Silver Coins of the 13th Century. [continued] over
