J.L. Stewart Esq Hector McLean Esq[ui]r[e] Rev[eren]d John Wylie Daniel Rankin Esq. A Charter of the farm called Hill of Kilncadzow Charter dated 1762 Charter dated 1423 Charter dated 1492 Charter dated 1583 Charter dated 1644 Statistical Account of Lanarkshire Johnston's County Map dated 1816 Forrest's County Map |
025.03 | A small village situated in the S.E. of the parish on the T.P. road from Edinburgh to Glasgow, and contiguous to Kilncadzow Law, the most elevated ground in the parish. It contains a private adventure school, a small public house, and a rural and mining population of about 200. From the village and circumjacent ground of a clear day the spires of Glasgow are visible, and a most extensive view of the valley of the Clyde is obtained on the north; and on the south the horizon is bounded by the towering mountains of Crawford and Crawfordjohn - upwards of 20 miles distant. The Roman Road from Agricola's camp in Lanark parish, passes near the village, and it is probable that their was a Roman station on the neighbouring Law. |

Transcriber's notes
The authorities for the various spellings are complex and difficult to enter in the template.The original name of Kilncadzow was ascribed to Messrs McLean, Stewart Wylie and Rankin and also to the farm charter and the Charter of 1762
Kilcagdow - to the Charter dated 1423
Kilcairdzie - to the Charters dated 1492 and 1583
Kincadzow - to the Charter dated 1644
Kilcadzow - to the Statistical Account of Lanarkshire and the 2 County Maps
Locally the village name is pronounced KILCAIGIE and one can see that derivation from a couple of the spellings (with a bit of imagination!)
It is unclear why the spelling of the name of such an insignificant little hamlet attracted so much attention but there is a bit of correspondence in the sheets towards the end of the Carluke Parish stuff.
