| PEGGIESTON | Peggieston Peggieston Pipers Pipers Pipers or Peggieston Pipers or Peggieston | Valuation Roll Voters' List Forests' Co. [County] Map William Jackshon. East Parkhead Matthew Cullen. Pr. [Proprietor] or Feuar James Dick Bellshill | 011.08 | These names apply to two rows of Colliers' dwellings on the east side of the T.P. [Turnpike] Road. There is a school here. The names are taken from persons who formerly lived here, & it cannot be said that either name is more correct than the other for both are used by the best & most respectable authorities in the locality. "Pipers" was the original name, but "Peggieston", similarly derived - from the occupier etc. has for a considerable time been mixed with it. The Proprietors, or Feuars, are not of a class to determine or adopt one in preference to the other, & merely say that is sometimes called "Peggieston", & at others, "Pipers." Both, or one, of these names must be retained as they are well Known and, from custom, proper names. |
| PIPERS | 011.08 |
Transcriber's notes
Peggieston and Pipers are alternative names for the same group of houses, and there is therefore only one entry on this page rather than two."proper", the second last word in the "Descriptive Remarks" section, is underlined.
