51 Reidshill
"Reidshill" is the Correct name as the
farm evidently derived its cognomen from
being in the possession of a tenant or proprietor
named Reid. The List of Farms quoted
is a good authority. Probably the verbal
Authorities spell the word as it is pronounced -
"Redshill" is quite unmeaning -
