Lanarkshire -- Lamington and Wandel Parish

contd: Quendal or Gwendall, signifying in the British language the white meadow, The parish was also designated in former times, the parochin of Hartside alias Wandle, the former being the name by which a particular district of it towards the northern extremity is still known. The same authority also tells us that the name Lammingtoune, now familiarly abreviated into Lamington was confirred upon the norther division, of this united parish, from a Fleming called Lambinus, one of three brothers who came over from Flanders and settled in Scotland in the reign of David I, and upon whom that monarch confirred the territory, which has since under various modifications, borne the designation of Lambinstoun, Lambingtoun, and Lammingtoune. In a charter by David II to Sir William Baillie in 1367, the lands are designated as those of Lambinstoun. Wandell, reckoning from the southern extremity, where it is bounded by Crawford extends in a north easterly direction to the parish kirk, a distance of about 6 miles. The general character of this parish, like the district in which it lies, is hilly, or perhaphs it may be called mountainous. Deer are said to have existed in abundance in this parish, in former times. Hence the name of Hartside, still applied to a portion of what is now denominated Wandell. The Kirk of Wandell and Lammingtoune is situated on the boundaries of these two ancient parishes, the area of the Kirk being held as the exact line of march between them." (New Stat Act. [Statistical Account]
"The parish church of Hartside or Wandel, was allowed to fall into ruins, and the church of Lamington serves the united parish, the patronage whereof belongs to Baillie of Lamington, as patron of the old parish of Lamington, and to Lord Douglas as patron of the old parish of Hartside or Wandel, who have the right of presenting a minister to th eunited parish by turns." (Chalmers Cala [Caledonia] Vol 3. P[--]
"The parish of Wandal was joined to that of Lamington in the year 1608." (Origiones Parochiales Scotiae.)
