018.16 The earliest notice of Carluke parish occurs
in a charter of Robert I by which he grants to
the monks of Lesmahute ten merks yearly from
the revenue of his mills of Mauldslie for the
purpose of supporting lights at the tomb of
St.[Saint] Mahute. In a second charter of the same
monarch dated 8th March 1315 he conveys to
these monks from his mills of Carluke other ten
merks yearly to supply eight wax lights for the
tomb of Machute on sundays and festivals-
In the same reign the church of Eglis-Maluack
in Strathclyde with all its rights and pertinents
is granted by the King to the monks of Kelso.-
From these facts it is supposed that the name
of the church was Eglis-Maluack whilst the
parish in general was distinguished by the
appellation of Carluack or Carluke-. The
former of these names is supposed to be compounded from three Gaelic words
Eglis. a church Maol. shaved - hence a Saint.
and Luac. Luke. the church of St.[Saint] Luke.
Stat. Acct.[Account] - Both history & tradition are
silent as to the exact date of the removal
of the ph.[parish] church from strathclyde to the centre of the parish. (See remarks on St.[Saint]

Transcriber's notes

Template entries are sort of duplicated. I have chosen the one closest to the image. Not marked as complete only because of that discepancy and the note below.

The original actually reads
Supposed Site of
St. Luke's Church
and
Cistercian Abbey

That is somewhat different from the template.

Description is continued on the next page.
There is an abbreviation that looks like "pk" that I cannot decipher. Just realised it is "ph" See top of page. PARISH!
