This was once a farm house having the necessary Offices etc but the portion of land at present attached to it being so Small, it would be more Suitable for the residence of a working man. It is the property of Colonel Neill and is occupied by James Crawford
The Factor is of the opinion that the proper way of spelling the name of this place is Auchen or Auchin mead meaning (as he thinks) Stony meadow. I however quote his name more as an Authority for the word 'Old' than 'Auchenmade' which is considered pretty well established. |

"chiefly of one narrow street, about a mile in length but the two portions at
"the extremities are somewhat detached; that towards the west is called the
"Byres; because, it is believed, the monks kept their cattle there; and the
"eastern has got the name Corsehill, from its being the place where

This object at present has a pump erected on or in the well it is well known in the locality and tradition ascribes to its miraculous powers namely that it used to run ooxe blood on particular occasions. Some years ago there were leaden pipes found in the Green connecting the Abbey Church and well referred to, but whether the pipes were for domestic purpose or places as found to convey blood to the well in order to deceive the public is now a matter which cannot well be cleared up. |

" The fountains which had been blessed by St. Winning continued in high repute,
"one of them was believed to give warning of the approach of war, by flowing with
"blood on such occasions" "This fact was mentioned by Lord Hailes, among other
"miscellaneous occurrances in the first volume of his Annals of Scotland. He was, in
"consequence, accused of credulity by the critics; and in a subsequent addition of his work, he declares
"that "the author must still remain under that imputation, for he cannot submit to acknowledge
"that he does not believe that a fountain, near Kilwinning, ran blood for eight days & eight
"nights, without intermission." A recent occurrance tends to prove the truth of the story, and to
"vindicate the stubborn faith of the learned Lord. In 1826, when the square or green, in the town of Kilwinning
"to the west of the monastery, was being levelled, the workman came upon and old leaden pipe
"about an inch in diameter, which ran from the walls of the building, in the direction of a fine
"spring, now called Kyles Well. This pipe had a considerable descent, and could not have
"been used for the purpose of drawing water from the well to the Abbey. through it,
"therefore, in all probability, blood, or some liquid resembling it, had been
"caused to flow into the fountain, and thus the credulity of the people was
"imposed upon, by the appearance of a miracle, which served to enhance the
"fame of the Monastery, and the power of its priesthood."

The portion of the Ruins of this Monastic Establishment still remaining enables the visitors or Antequarian to form a tolerable idea of the extent of this once famous stronghold of popery. from the name of Alms Wall west of the monastery it is evident that its precincts extended from there eastward to Dovecot Lane as at the latter place traces of a Strong wall were discovered Some Years ago which unhapily have all been destroyed. There is a Stone Cross at the end of Dovecot Lane which was probably erected outside the wall to mark and point out the market place of the establishment. [Continued on page 80] |
