OS1/3/37/1 KIRKMICHAEL [parish] Kirkmichael Kirkmichael Kirkmichael Kirkmichael Statistical Account Patterson's History of Ayrshire Johnston's County Map County Voters' List 039 ; 040 ; 045 ; 051 "The name of this parish, which is common to no fewer than five parishes in Scotland, is obviously derived from St. Michael, a saint of great note in the Romish Breviary, - who flourished in the tenth century. ** The character of the parish is hilly. On the banks of the rivers and streams, there are considerable tracts of level ground; but these bear a small proportion to what are unequal and undulating. The hill-pasture continues fresh & green, for most part of the season. In the upland farms, there is some little heath and moss, but no naked rock. The ground to the south from the Girvan Water continues to rise, with some interruptions, till it reaches the hill of Glenalla, which is 1612 feet above the level of the sea." Statistical Account (1842) "The name of this parish is obviously derived from St. Michael, to whom the church was dedicated. It was called in former times Kirkmichael of Gemilstoun, from the name, no doubt, of the proprietor, John de Gemilstoun, by whom the church was granted to the Prior and Canons of Whithern. The parish lies north and east, and is in length about twelve miles, and five broad, including an area of upwards of 15,000 imperial acres. ** More than a thirteenth part of the parish is wooded, natural and planted. ** six lochs of considerable extent Drumore 9 imperial Acres; Kirkmichael, 5; Shankston, 12; Croot, 10 Barnshean 28 and Spalander 45 - in all about 109 acres, less 5 acres of Spalander which are in the parish of Straiton. ** 'There are,' says the Statistical Account, 'traces of five British or Danish fortlets in this parish, two in the farm of 'Guiltreehill, [continued on page 2]
OS1/3/37/1 [Page] 1 Parish of Kirkmichael Part 1 "There is a local tradition, besides some proofs from ancient documents that Blairquhan is within the original land-marks of this parish . Convenience, no doubt, suggests the propriety of its belonging to Straiton, and possibly, in this way, the old parochial connexion may have been altered without further title or deed of an- -nexation, ecclesiastical or civil. The main part of the beautiful approach to the castle, along the banks of the river, is within the present admitted boundary of the parish". Statistical Account (1842)
OS1/3/37/2 KIRKMICHAEL [Continued from page 1] "'Guiltreehill, one in Keostan, one in Cassanton, and another in Castle Downans. They are all circular, and are supposed to belong to the early period of the fourteenth century! This must be a mistake for the fourth century, because, whether British or Danish, their era must be much earlier than the fourteenth century. There is every reason to believe, as the Roman road from Galloway to Ayr traverses the course of the Doon at no great distance, that they are British remains of the Roman period. They are about a hundred yards in diameter and with a ditch of nearly fifteen feet wide. Where they have been ploughed up, numerous fragments of pitchers, spears, horns &c. were discovered. From the name of a farm in the immediate vicinity - Dunree, in Gaelic Dun-righ, signifying the King's stronghold - it is inferred that the fort was distinguished by a royal appellative."

When Several years were Spent & Gone and lady Cassillis had brought her husband three children this passion led to a dreadful Catastrophe, her youthful lover Seizing an Opportunity when the Earl was from home Came to Cassillis, he was disguised as a Gypsy and attended by a band of these desperate Outcasts, Sang Some Songs which was Known to the Countess & she immediately recognised them, the Countess right Soon Condescended to elope with her lover, the Earl returning home & Missing the Countess, when he learnt the fact of her elopement immediately Set Out in Pursuit accompanyed by a band which put resistance out of the question, he Overtook & captured the Whole Party near a ford Over the Doon, Still Called the "Gypsies Steps", having brought them back to the Castle, he hanged all the Gypsys, including Sir John. upon the "Dule Tree", the Countess being made to survey the dreadful Scene, the Particular room where the unhappy lady endured this horrible torture, is still called the Countess's Room after undergoing a Short confinement in that apartment, she was removed to the Castle of Maybole & Confined there for the rest of her life, While Confined in the latter Place, she is said to have wrought a Prodigious quantity of tapestry so as to have Completely Covered the Walls of her Prison.
