"After due intimation by direction of the Lords of Council & Session to them given: And it is farther enacted (Sect: [Section] 6th) And whereas, in some large & populous parishes, which it may be considered necessary or proper to divide into two or more parishes, there are a number of poor persons the greater portion of whom reside in or near the same locality, such locality being sometimes the least wealthy, whereby the particular
territorial division of such large & populous parish, which would be most expedient & advantageous in other respects, would operate injuriously or unjustly if each of the new parishes into which it may be divided were left to provide from its own resources for that portion of the poor of the original parish resident within the territory of such new parish: be it enacted that it shall be lawful for the said Lords of Council & Session, to declare & provide that notwithstanding such division or disjunction, the original parish & the several new or separate parishes thereby erected within the bounds thereof, shall, in so far as regards the support and management of the poor, & all matters connected therewith, remain & be regarded as one parish." There are large quantities of coal in the parish. The principal villages are Shettleston & Tollcross. There is an Est: Ch: [Established Church], A Free Ch: [Church]; A U. P. [United Presbyterian] Church. a R. C. [Roman Catholic] Chapel, & a Convent at Dalbeth, in this Parish. There are two Barony Parochial Schools besides others. |

A line of Railway between Glasgow & Carlisle. The Electric telegraph is on South side. The "Glasgow & Garnkirk Section" is the original name of the line between St Rollox in Glasgow & Whifflet in Old Monkland Parish. The Section is not generally known, all on it going under the title of Cal. Ry. [Caledonian Railway] in Time Tables. The name is according to the Act of parliament, but is now recognised by Railway Officials only. The mainline from Milton in Springburn Ph [Parish] to Buchanan St Glasgow was made by the Cal. [Caledonian] Co & is known to them as the "Glasgow Extension". The Engineer of the line considers the "Extension" unnecessary as "Caledonian" would sufficiently distinguish it. |

007.05 |
A row of one storied houses occupied by Colliers employed by the Lessee in the Pits on Garthamlock. There is a Provision store kept here for the inhabitants. This row of houses is like the generality of Colliers' dwellings, being built by the Coal Co. [Company]. It is not unlikely that they may be taken down by the Proprietor when the coal workings are done. He, however, considers the name given to be right, although they are generally called by the occupiers by a variety of terms. |

Estate Map R. Mathers, Occupier I.G. Morison, Craigend S. Hill Esqr Barlanark |
007.06 |
This is at present used as a Farm Steading. It was formerly the Manor House of the Barony of Provan, the Heritable jurisdiction of which, is said to be still in the power of the Corporation of Glasgow, who annually nominate a Baillie whose principal duties now consist in regulating the Town's Mills & the water used for them, from Frankfield & Hogganfield Lochs. The exact date of this house, & when, or by whom it was first occupied, cannot be obtained without referring to various Documents & Titles in the hands of the Town Clerk of Glasgow & in the Hunterian Museum of the University. The houses forming the west part of the Steading are evidently old, the walls being nearly three feet thick. The dwelling house on the south, fronting the garden is not very remarkable in the inside or outside, owing to modern alterations & improvements. The house north of the dwelling is now used as a stable, the roofs of the lower floor are ached & the floor above them of the upper story is flagged, Both houses are two stories high. There is a small Courtyard enclosed, between the houses, by a wall similar in thickness to those of the houses. The wall connecting the west end of the houses is plain, & about 20 feet high. The east wall is the same height, but has Portholes on each side of an Arched Gateway, which is about the centre. There are steps on the inner side leading up to the Portholes. On the outer side, immediately over the gate, on the Arch, there was a triangular stone about 2ft 6in, long each side, It bears the emblems of a rose at each angle, & in the middle there are initials "R. H" in italic capitals,with the date "1647" between. It now lies on the top of the wall, having fallen out of its place, over the Archway, about two years ago. There is a very old Yew Tree between the east end of the stable & one of the outer offices. The garden in front / south of the dwelling, is terraced, having steps in the centre of each. In Historical Accounts of the Barony of Provan there is no mention made of the "Hall" The oldest of which there is any writing, as stated by L. Hill Esqr. connected with the "Hall" or "Barony of Provan" is a Bull of Pope Adrian 6th who reigned from January 1522 until Sept. 1523. This Bull, along with a modern copy, were presented by L. Hill Esqr. to the Hunterian Museum, where they may be seen at present. In "Clelland's Annals of Glasgow", there is no mention made (Turn over) |

Provan Hall Continued,
VII - 6 Trace 4
Of the "Hall", He merely says "The City acquired the Lands, Lordship, & Barony of Provan, from Sir Robert Hamilton of Silverton Hall, in 1652", - Five years later than the date on the Coat of Arms, & it is considered by the authorities that the initials are those of Sir R. Hamilton. In "Brown's History of Glasgow, Paisley, Greenock, & Port Glasgow", it is stated that, "The City acquired, in 1662, the Lands, Lordship, & Barony of Provan, from Sir R. Hamilton of Silverton Hill, & as Lords of the Manor, they annually nominate a gentleman of the neighborhood, Baillie of Provan, with all the powers of a Baron Baillie." There is a difference of 10 years between this & Clelland's, "There was a Charter granted by King Charles II, in 1669, in favour of the Magistrates of Glasgow, for the Barony of Provan, sold to them in 1652 by Sir R. Hamilton of Silverton Hill", And according to the same authority, "In the year 1729, the Magistrates & Council sold the Lands of Provan, consisting of 2012 acres, to Robert Lang & others, at the price of 64495£. 12s. Scots, being 5374£. 8s. 8d. sterling, besides a yearly a feu duty of 103£. 8s. sterling", Clellands Annals of Glasgow. Provan Hall is now the property (with the exception of the feu duty, on superiority) of Mrs Reston Mathers, who now occupies it. Her Grandfather - a Mr Buchanan purchased it, but at what particular date is not known, without referring to the Title Deeds. |

This School is one of four - Anderston, Maryhill, Shettleston & Ruchazie, supported by the Heritors of the whole of the original Barony Parish. On the disjunction of this & the other Parishes from the Barony Parish of Glasgow, no alterations respecting these schools were made. They are therefore, as formerly, Parochial Schools of Barony, but within the newly erected Parishes. The Schoolmasters are appointed from the Barony Ph [Parish] Church meetings of the Heritors, & the sum allowed for these schools is so arranged, that if the three other schools were without Teachers, the remaining Teacher employed, would receive the salary of the whole. This school from being in Shettleston, is commonly called the Ph [Parish] School, although the one at Ruchazie is similarly supported. The Barony Heritors erected this & now pay a feu duty of £6. 10s per annum. |

As the name belongs to the Farm Steading , & the houses now called the Middlequarter of the Village of Shettleston, are built upon the Lands originally belonging to it, the name of the Farm, as stated by the Authorities, properly applies to Middlequarter Farm, as well as the Middlequarter of the Village of Shettleston. |

A superior dwelling house occupied by the incumbent of the Est. [Established] Church of Shettleston. This house was purchased by the
Managers, or Kirk Session, of the Est. [Established] Church of Shettleston. The money invested in the purchase was a charitable bequest of 500£ [£500] left in the hands of the managers as trustees. The Minister pays a nominal rent for the use of it. Since he has occupied it the name of "Earlybraes, or manse" have always been coupled. The proper name is "Earlybraes" which it always bore until it became the property of the managers of the Ch. [Church]. It cannot be said that the name is changing from the original one, or that any greater change may take place in it while occupied by the Minister of the Parish. If it were otherwise occupied, which is very unlikely to happen, the original & proper name would no doubt be resumed. |

The steading is on slightly elevated ground, & it appears more probable that the spelling in the Titles is a mistake, and that the name "Glenduffhill" is, like the similar "hills" taken from the steading being so situated (turn over) |

This Burn rises near Bargeddie in Old Monkland Parish & flowing past Swinton & Barrachnie forms the Boundary of the Parish for some distance. It flows past Sandyhills & Tollcross in this Parish & forms a Dam & a Mill Lade for Westthorn Mill, near which it enters the River Clyde. At each of the above named places this Burn bears the same name in flowing through them. Properly, there is no name belonging to it as applying to the whole, from where is rises until it enters the Clyde. Sandyhills is the central name on its course, & is as well known in that locality as "Tollcross Burn" is in the neighbourhood of the village & "House of Tollcross. As "Tollcross Burn" it cannot be said to apply farther than it is written on the Examination Traces. i.e. between the village of Sandyhills & where it enters the River Clyde. The only reason for "Tollcross Burn" being adopted for the name, is, that it is probable it bore the name of Tollcross before Sandyhills, Swinton, or Barrachnie, were in existence. |

A village near the south eastern boundary of the parish on the High Road from Glasgow to Edinburgh. This name properly applies from "Shettleston Sheddings" to the east end of "Eastmuir", including those localities, or divisions, called "Middlequarter"& "Eastmuir". The name of Shettleston is much confused with others within it, which form the principal part of the village. "Eastmuir" forms the eastern extremity of it, & comprises all the houses between the Parish Church & Crownhall. The name "Eastmuir" is taken from the houses being built on a muir which was there 25 years ago, & at that time, called the east muir of Shettleston from the village having a muir at the east & west extemities. Before the Parliamentary Boundary of Glasgow was extended, the Westmuir- now a villageof that name within the Parliamentary Boundary was part of Shettleston. "Middlequarter"is so called from being in the centre of the village & it is applied by the best authorities, to all the houses on the lands originally belongng to the farmsteading, i.e. between "Green" & the Parish Church. "Eastmuir" & Middlequarter" are so distinct as names & localities within the village, that it is difficult to shew where the name "Shettleston" (Turn over) |

Formerly, there was a Relief Church; it was taken down about 130 years ago. This name may be said to have been taken from a farm steading which stands in the parish west of the village. It is still a farm, but the name applies, now, to the village more than it. All the property of A. Buchanan Esqr. |

This Burn rises from Coal Pits on Mount Vernon property, in Old Monkland Parish, It forms the parish Bound- ary as far as Auchenshuggle, From the latter to the South Side of the Turnpike Road near Ashcraig it has been covered over & replaced by a Hedge which now forms the Parish Boundary. It flows into the River Clyde from the Turnpike Road, where it again issues, still forming the Boundary of the Parish. The origin of the name is ascribed to a battle fought in the Parish of Old Monkland. No authentic information can be obtained as to its origin. The name is well known. |
