" Airdrie House which is Situated in one of the most beautiful and commanding positions in the parish is embosomed in wood in every direction except the South whence the finest view is to be had but liKe the other ancient dwellings it is no longer the habitation of a belted Knight or noble peer. Yet the ancient tower and most of the walls of the Original house remain entire though the enterior arrangements to modern taste. Of this place Says "in King David II's [The Second's] reign I found it belonged to Dundemore of that ilk. Afterwards it Came to the Lumsdens who had it in 1466." The family of Lumsden possessed it until at least the end of the 16th Century as is proved by a fine monument erected in the churchyard of date 1598. From the Lumsdens Says the Same writer it was purchased by Sir John Preston of PennycuiK President of the Court of Session in King James VI's time though it would appear he inherited it through his lady. This Baronet Seems along with many of the gentlemen in his neighbourhood to have Keenly espoused the Cause of Charles I, and to have been Subjected to pains and penalties in Consequence. For within a month after the death of that ill fated monarch we find in the record of the KirK Session in February 1649 that Lord Balcomie Sir John Preston of Airdrie Lawrence Cunningham of Barns John Lindsay of Wormistone and a number of others whose names are mentioned, had to appear before the Congregation to acknowledge publicly their Sinful engagement and Sign the Covenant. In the Seventeenth Century Airdrie became the property of General Anstruther who greatly enlarged the house by the addition of two wings, of which the one was a large and lofty hall with figures in niches, picture on the walls many chandeliers for lights and a Splendid Chimney-piece of white marble which he brought workmen from Italy to execute. After the general's death the estate was purchased by Methven Erskine Esq. afterwards Earl of Kellie, who died there in 1830, upon |

15th Augt. 1853. [15 Aug 1853]
Dear Sir.
A doubt occurs
Respecting the Correct Mode
of Spelling the name of
the parish of which you
are the incumbent. I
Shall feel much obliged
if you will inform me,
for the purposes of the
Ordnance Survey, whether
Dunino or Denino is the
proper Spelling.
In a list of parishes
lately received here from
the Sheriff Depute of
the Co.[County] Fife it is Spelled
Denino and I find this
is generally the Spelling
in all the published
accounts relating to the
Parish.
Revd. J. Burns
Minister of
Dunino
Dunino Manse, Aug 22nd 1853 [22 Aug 1853]
Dear Sir,
After inspecting the
parish registers I find the name of
this parish variously spelled at differ-
ent times:
In 1666 it is called Dinninou,
In 1697 it is called Dennino,
In 1650 it is called Dynnino,
In 1736 it is called Dununnow,
at present it is written Dunino or Denino.
I have heard the derivation of the name
to be, as you indicated in the note at the
end of your letter, the hill of young
women, but I am not aware of any
evidence to prove the correctness of this.
There are no remains of a convent
on the hill; but Several Stone Coffins
were found there Some years ago.
I know no means of ascertaining
what Mode of Spelling the name
is the most accurate.
I am, Your Mo: Obed. Servt. [Most Obedient Servant]
John Burns.
Minister of Dunino |

Will you please inform
me what is the spelling of
this name in the parochial
Registers & other documents
Connected with the parish
or Any record you may
have access to, that may
be Considered of Authority.
An early reply on the
margin of this letter will
Oblige me very much.
I am Revd. [Reverend] Sir
Your most Obedt. Sert. [Obedient Servant]
Henry James
Captain R. Engs. [Royal Engineers]
Note
"Dun nan Oghe" Signifying in Gaelic
"The virgins Hill" This was probably
Corrupted to Dunino or Denino from
a Convent which is Said to have Stood
on a hill not far from the church.

Extract from the Stat: Acct: [Statistical Account] of Fifeshire, page 356
" The parish of Dunino, pronounced by the inhabitants Dununie, is of more consideration for its Antiquity, neighbourhood, and recent rapidity of improvement, than for its extent, or value as a Section of the County. The reporter to Sir John Sinclair on this parish first assurres that its name is Den-ino, which it is not: And then proceeds to account for its derivation from words Signifying"a Village on a large and deep den" But there has not been, time out of mind, anything which can be called a village in the parish: And the "den, so deep and large", is nothing more than the beds which have been formed by two little streams, which after their union are able to turn a Saw-mill. For fifty four years after the Commencement of the Parochial register in 1643, the name of the parish is uniformly spelt Duynyno, Duynynow, or Dunnonow, the first Syllable being always "Dun", till 1697 when it was first Corrupted into "Dennino." |
