The Parish Church was built in 1644 and repaired in 1840, it contains sittings for 822 persons. This edifice, Mr. Adams says, is built on the site of a more ancient structure which had been dedicated to the Virgin Mary. "In the town of Kirkintilloch stood a Chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and was endowed with the lands of Duntiblae. This is now the parish Church."

"In 1659, the Parishes of Kirkintilloch & Cumbernauld
were finally separated, A new church was built
at the east end for the new parish, and the Chapel
of the Virgin Mary, built in 1644, became the parish Church
of Kirkintilloch, as at present."

This name applies to the remains of a small Roman Fort on the summit of an arable hill a short distance west of the parish Church. It is all pretty entire with the exception of the Southwest Corner which is levelled and cultivated as a garden. That [Wall] in the Fosse on the South side next the garden, has been here from time immem[orial], it is covered with a wooden box. *
"Antoninus' Wall ran through the parish for 6 miles from east to west, and has here three large forts and Watch towers. Its most easterly post was a fort, still traceable, enclosing an area of 150 yards on the summit of Barhill, and commanding a view of almost the whole course of the wall from the Forth to the the middle post, now nearly effaced from the intersection of it by the Canal, and from other causes was at the village of Auchendowie, and appears to have been a rectangular fort of 150 yds. [yards] by 70. * The westerly Post still in most parts tolerably distinct, was a fort now called by way of distinction the Peel, on a rising ground at the west end of the town of Kirkintilloch, enclosed an area of 90 yards by 80, and had the singular property of being situated on the north side of the Wall"

This Wall cannot be traced in the neighbourhood |

"The town of Kirkintilloch, at one time called "Caerpintalloch"
may probably ascribe its origin to the period when the walls of
a Roman fortress occupied the summit of a rising ground
on which it stands." This Military Station seems to have differed
from all the others known of, in projecting outwards from the Wall,
instead of being raised, as usual, within its line: hence, no doubt,
the labour bestowed on its construction, since,
although not of the largest size, the fort of Kirkintilloch
seems to have been excelled by none in the strength
of its defences.
It had originally been of a
squared form, measuring within
the area, rather more than
300 feet upon each side.
A great earthen rampart
from 40 to 50 feet in thickness,
had surrounded this inclosure, having in front
a capacious moat, not less than 30 feet wide, and,

of proportionate depth. Horsley says that the Peel of
Kirkintilloch (the name by which the Roman station is
generally known) presented, in his time, the appearance of
having been fortified by a double wall of hewn stones -
placed, we should suppose, on the top of the above mentioned
rampart; and adds that the stones had been strongly cemented
with lime, and that many of them were chequered, in the manner
usually practised by the Roman builders. Although the greatest
part of the ancient works have now been levelled, and every
vestige of their masonry removed, there is still enough
left to shew the great size of the ditch, and the height of the
earthen mound on which the wall had stood."
The situation of this station steems to have been nearly as
good, in a Military point of view, as was that on Castle Hill

to the east of Duntocher, Why the Wall should in this instance have been changed
to the south of the fort it is impossible to say: nothing in the nature of the ground
appears to have called for such a deviation from the general practice; but without
doubt there did exist some valid reason for this unusual arrangement, although
none of our modern inquirers have been able to account for it.
Like those at Duntocher and Bemulie, the Station of Kirkintilloch stood near a point
where the passage of a stream of water had caused a break in the Wall, and where,
in consequence, an enemy might most likely have attempted to penetrate;
wherever it happened, indeed, that any rivulet had crossed the line, too wide to be
spanned by its ramparts, it is almost certain that a Fort had been established
near the spot."

"The town of Kirkintilloch is a very ancient burgh of barony. It was erected about 1170, by William, King of Scots, in favour of William Crimin, Baron of Lenzie, and Lord of Cumbernauld, and still holds of the barony of Cumbernauld, for the payment of 12 merks Scots, of yearly feu duty. The privileges with which it has been endowed, are very ample. Its burgesses elect their own magistrates, independently of the lord of the barony. The magistrates are two baillies, and are annually chosen. They are empowered by the charters of the burgh, to hold courts, levy fines, imprison offenders, and even banish them from their liberties, and in short, to exercise, every right with which the baron himself was vested before the |

erection of the burgh. These rights the community have continued ever since that period to enjoy, they were in no degree affected by the act, by which the British parliament, in 1748, abolished the heritable jurisdictions in Scotland." (Old Stat Act. [Statistical Account])
"Kirkintilloch, the capital of the parish just described, and a burgh of barony stands on Luggie Water, immediately above its confluence with the Kelvin, 3 miles south-east of Campsie, 5 miles south west of Kilsyth, 7 miles north of Glasgow, and 49 miles west of Edinburgh. A small weekly market is held on Saturday, and annual fairs chiefly for cattle, are held on the second Tuesday of May, the last Thursday of July, and the 21st. October." (Fullarton's Gazetteer)
"There are three fairs held annually in the burgh, chiefly for the sale of cattle, namely, on 2nd. Tuesday of May, the last Thursday of July, and the 21st. October. The market day is on Saturday, but is not much observed. The lintseed Saturdays were formerly great marts for the sale of the commodity, from whence they derived their names, but flax is not now so much cultivated as formerly, and these markets have accordingly declined with the cause which produced them."
