"In the last Statistical Report it is stated that this parish was anciently called Drumsargard; but this appears to be a mistake. In the seventeenth century, the name of the barony of Drumsharg or Drumsargard, which includes the larger portion of the parish, was changed to Cambuslang, the name the parish always bore. Lying at the north-west extremity of the great trough of the Clyde, near the western boundary of the district of Clydesdale, the greater part of the parish exhibits a low undulating surface, and forms part of the great vale on which the City of Glasgow stands." New Statistical Account.
"The parish is bounded on the North by Old Monkland; on the South by East Kilbryde; East, by Blantyre; and on the west by Rutherglen. Dechmont Hill rises from an altitude of 600 feet, and commands an extensive and varied prospect, coal abounds in this district, where it has been wrought for upwards of 800 years. A strata of limestone usually called Cambuslang Marble, is found in some of the coal pits at the depth of 200 feet." Gazetteer.
Cambuslang & Kirkhill villages are the principal ones in the Parish. There are several smaller villages. The Northern Calder water forms the eastern boundary of the Parish.
"The parish of Cambuslang derived its singular name from the Celtic Cambus-lain , signifying the bending water-bank or the bank on the bend of the water". Cam in the British and Gaelic signifies bending, bowed; and usg or uisg means water, From these vocables was formed the Celtic word camus, which applied to the bend or curve of any water, either of a stream, a lake or of the sea. Camus, thus applied, appears in a number of names in the topography of Scotland; and in the Scots-Saxon districts it has uniformly obtained the name Cambus; as Cambus-lang." Chalmers Caledonia Vol 3-p 694
There is not any portion of the Parish of Cambuslang detached within any other Parish, nor is there any portion of any other Parish contained within the bounds of this Parish. |

The principal village in the parish, lying near the north western boundary & chiefly occupied by colliers and weavers. It was formerly called Bushyhill from a hill which stands on the south side of the village. "Bushyhill" is often applied to the village, but properly it belongs only to the object - the hill shown. The Clydesdale Junction of the Caledonian Railway runs near to the south side of the houses of the village. There is a station at the west end. "Sauchiebog" forms part of the east end of the village, & has gas works in it which supply the village & also Kirkhill. There is a Free Church, a congregational Chapel, an Old Nr P Church, and a subscription school in Cambuslang. The Parish Church and school are in Kirkhill - a village about ¼ mile south-east of Cambuslang. The Toll Gate is the eastern extremity of the village. The railway station the western. |

"In the parish of Cambuslang about a quarter of a mile below the parish church, there was,in former times, a chapel, which was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which was popularly called the Lady Chapel of Kirkburn.", (Chalmers Caledonia).
No traces whatsoever of the Chapel remain now, nor has anyone in the locality ever remembered to have seen any. It has been handed down to the authorities given as having stood where the cottage named 'Chapel' stands. James Park remembers the parish church incumbent in 1791, when collecting information for 'Sir John Sinclair's Statistical Account', having said that the Chapel stood on the place shown. It is believed that this information was supplied to Sir John Sinclair , but no particulars of it appear.
"There was on the banks of the Kirk Burn, about ¼ of a mile below the Kirk, a chapel which was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, to which belonged 4 acres of land, which still retain the name of Chapel" (Old Stat Acct, John 5,p 266)
"The chapel of the Lady of the Kirkburn was situated on a ravine, about a quarter of a mile lower than the church", "In 1380 William Monypenny, rector of the parish, founded a chaplaincy in the chapel of St Mary of Cambuslang" (Origines Parochiales Scotiae) |

A small village lying about ¼ mile south of the village of Camberslang. The hill upon which it Stands terminates on the west by the slopes shown on the side of "Kick Burn". It mingles so gradually with the grounds on its other sides, that it cannot be represented as a hill feature, without confusing the name with the houses, & name of the villoage, which sufficiently applies to both. Th Parish Church, School & the Manse, are the principal buildings here. The population is chiefly Weavers. "Preaching Brae" lies south of the Churchyard. "THe village of Kirkhill is not well supplied with water, in the summer season in particular the inhabitants are obliged to go a considerable distance to the Burn Well, a small open Spring at the bottom of Conversion Brae" New Statistical Account.
There are several Wells on the side of Kirk Burn, as well as one on the east of the road Reaching from the School to the Church. |

It is evidently a work of art, and resembles those artificial mounds on which the Ancient Britons & Saxons built their fortresses. It was here that the Castle of Drumsargard formerly stood."

The extent of the bottom of the ridge is shewn in yellow and the mound on the west of it, is shewn on Examination Trace so it appears on the ground. The Slopes from the top are gradual, but easily defined & may continue so for a considerable time. The ground is ploughed over the ridge and the mound. The site is well known throughout the district.

"This monument, from its regularity, is plainly the worK of art, and resembles
those artificial mounts on which the Britons and Saxons built their fortresses.
When the South of Scotland was possessed by the Britons and Saxons, it is
probable that one of their fortresses might stand on this mount; but however
this may be, it is certain that the Castle of Drumsargard stood upon it."
"Drumsargard or Druim- searg- aird in Gaelic, signifies this ridge of
dry or parched height; a name which is descriptive either of the partiicular
spot where the Castle stood or of a long ridge, at a little distance from it.

The term "Castle" seems to have been recently applied, but is generally known. From the strength, date and appearance of the building, it is evidenyt that it has never been a fortress. It is now nearly in ruin, and is occupied bt the Duke of Hamilton's Game Keeper. There are two turrets on the south side on the upper story and rising as high as the top of the roof. The date (1607) appears on the east side over one of the windows in the topmost story. The door is on the same side. There is a winding starcase of stone leading to the upper rooms.

"The lands of Gilbertfield were anciently forced out by the Earls of Douglas: upon which there is built a good house tolerably situated. The date of the present house is 1607 which may be seen engraved over one of the windoows high up. on the side where the door is Hamilton
"Dec 19th 1629 is the date of the "Testament of Rev Robert Cunningham of Gilbertfield, Knight within the parish of Camberslang. He died in the month of December 1628. This shows that there was an estate at best bearing the name of Gilbertfield- and it is highly probable there was a house or castle where he resided. The probability is that that residence was the old fortification or castle and that it stood on the position of the cottages which still remains in old documents is Castle chapmns which in all probability is a corruption of Castle Cummssus. The family of the Cummins frequently inter married with the Douglasses." written by Revd J.S. Johnstone |
