OS1/3/36/16A Extract from Appendix No. 1. Hopes Minor Practicks. Besides the regular Religious Houses, Abbacies, Priories & Convents, in Scotland at the time of the Reformation, there were several Colleges erected for secular Canons. They were called "Praepositurae." or Collegiate Churches & were governed by a Dean or Provost. They were instituted for the performance of Divine Service, and of Masses for the Souls of the Founders & Patrons or their Friends ~ These Institutions consisted of Prebendaries or Canons, who had their several degrees or Stalls, in which they sat for singing more orderly the Canonical Hours & they with their Dean or Provost, composed the Chapter. They were commonly erected out of several Parish Churches united for that purpose, or out of the Chaplainries that were founded under the roof of their Churches. They were about thirty three in number and the seventeenth in Spottiswood's List is: 'Kilmaures in the Shire of Air, founded the 14th May, 1403. for a Provost & eight Prebendaries, with two singing Boys by Sir William Cuningham of Kilmaures' [Continued on next page 16B]
OS1/3/36/16B [Continued from previous page 16A] The ancient Church of Kilmaurs, was dedicated to Saint Maure, a Scottish Saint who is said to have died Anno. Dom: [Domini] 899. She was commemorated on the 2nd November. During the reign of William (1165 to 1214) Robert, the son of Wernebald the progenitor of the Glencairn Family, who held the township of Cuningham under Richard Morville Constable of Scotland granted the church of Kilmaurs to the Monks of Kelso An account of the property of that Abbacy made up in the reign of Robert 1st. (1306-1329) states that the Church of Kilmaurs was then their property, & it was of the value of £40 yearly In the reign of James 5th. (1570) the vicarage of Kilmaurs was taxed at £2.13.4 being one tenth of the estimated value. The Vicar at this time paid 20 Marks annually to the Curate. At the Reformation the vicarage was held by Mr Andrew Layng, & produced about £30 yearly. The vicars Church lands had been let for 20 years to Cuningham of Robertland at the very small rent of 8 Marks yearly. The lands appear to have been of considerable extent; at the Reformation they all passed into lay hands - A portion still called the "Girnal Croft," was in 1505 [Continued on next page 16C]
OS1/3/36/16C [ Continued from previous page 16B] granted by Robert Abbot of Kelso to Cuningham of Craigens for payment of 6/8 [£0.6.8] yearly. In 1633, Charles 2nd. founding the Bishoprick of Edinburgh, granted Kilmaurs Church Tythes to the Dean of St. Giles. The Church of Kilmaurs is of considerable antiquity & appears to have undergone many alterations. It has always been the Burial place of the family of Glencairn. Their Tomb which is close to the Church was erected by Earl James in 1660. The Church is beautifully placed on an eminence near the town of Kilmaurs, a Borough of Barony erected in the reign of James 5. Its earliest charter is granted in 1507 by Cuthbert Earl of Glencairn. In 1811 it contained 750 Inhabitants. The Stream called Kilmaurs or Carmel Water, which rises in the parish of Fenwich & after lingering around the ancient towers of Rowallan & gliding in mazy links thro' [through] the meadows of Kilmaurs, falls into the Irvine in the Parish of Dreghorn. In a hollow near the bank of this Stream stands a ruined tower & dovecot evidently part of the Establishment founded by Sir William Cuningham in 1403. An ancient orchard occupies the ground between it and [Continued on next page 16D]
OS1/3/36/16D [Continued from previous page] [Page] 16D the Church, & a rudely built well still called the "Lady's Well" are now all that remains of the Collegiate Church of Kilmaurs. X (all still estant- [extant] ) Chalmers appears to think that the syllable Kil, the beginning of many names of Ayrshire & of Scotch Localities is without doubt derived from the Gaelic Cil or Latin Cella, signifying "Burial Place," but in the oldest papers, places now spelled "Kil" appear as "Kyl" as Kylmaures, Kylkirran. The name of the district of Kyle is said to be derived from a traditionary King Coilus and perhaps some of these Ayrshire Localities may owe their names to some connexion [connection] with that district rather than to their having been burial places. In an ancient M.S. [Manuscript] book known as the "Affleck Manuscript" but titled " The Antiquities of Airshire" The Tour is mentioned in a table of distances of places in Air as The Tour, west syd, 4 myl fra Irving' Immediately before it, is Achinhervie 2 myl south fra the River, 4 myl fra Irving' The Tour here alluded to is certainly the ruined building near the Church of [Continued on next page]
OS1/3/36/16E [Continued from previous page 16D] Kilmaurs. At Busby in the Parish of Kilmaurs there was a chapel with a separate endowment. After the Reformation it was allowed to go to Ruin & the endowment was appropriated by the Patron. It belonged to the Eglington Family in 1661 but how or when it was acquired does not appear. x - Busby Castle is now the property of Mr William Wallace - The Tower- (Tour) & Girnall Croft & also [Jocksthorn,] the site of Kilmaurs (or Glencairn) Castle the ancient residence of the Lords of Glencairn & Kilmaurs are now the property of Robert Parker Adam, of Tour. The Orchard is still an Orchard & the Dove Cot entire - only the sides of the old Tower is now standing - but the Lady's Well still affords the best water in the neighbourhood - Mr. Adams Tith Deeds go back [Continued on next page 16F]

OS1/3/36/55 Kilmaurs Parish [inverted] Extracts from Paterson's History of Ayrshire [Left column] Page 209 There was a chapel at Busbie which had an appropriate Endowment for its Chaplain. - After the Reformation the Chapel was allowed to fall into Ruins. Possibly this Site cannot be identified. [Right column] Mauchline 24.5.56 [24 May 1856] Sir Attended to [Left column] Kilmaurs Castle. Of the Castle of Kilmaurs described by Pont, there seems to be now no certain remains. From Pont's Map however, where the castle is dotted, and Carmel Wood (still so called) the faire parke by which it was [Environed], Some idea of its Situation may be formed. It appears to have stood Some distance east of the church, probably as conjectured by Robertson, on the farm called Jock's Thorn where Some ruins can Still be pointed out. It is curious that its position should be a matter of dubiety - when Pont Surveyed the district in 1608, the Castle of Kilmaurs Existed in all the pomp of family distinction - and now, about 240 years since,Or is its Grandeur worn out even the traditional ruin that its site cannot be identified with certainty. [Right column] Supposed site shown on trace on the authority of R P Adam Esqr. of Tour and others [Left column] "Kilmaurs House" - A seat of the Earls of "Glencairn" - a portion of this building looks Ancient, but I cannot find about the date of its erection - can you obtain any local information? to warrant its being written in G.

The extent of this name renders it quite inapplicable to Maps and it might be extended to Embrace even more Coal fields.

[Left hand side of page] 1 The plan when the coffins were found was one of the 3 barrows or Tumuli referred to 2 The Site of the other was pointed out by the Occupier of Greenhill farm [RHS] The most remarkable of the three being situated close to Greenhill farm house. -- [LHS] 3 Yes [Right hand side of page] This still leaves one large tumulus -- [LHS] Site identified unaccounted for on the Greenhill farm.
