"properties. It seems more probable thet the name is derived not from one well but several; namely the Buck Well, the Siller Wells, Walston Well, and many others, named and named and nameless, in the neighbourhood from which no less thab three rivulets descend in the immediate vicinity. But probably as this etymology may appear, the conjecture may still be hazarded, that, as the neighbouring parish oof Dolphinton, which anciently belonged to the same proprietors, took its name from Dolfyn, a brother of Cospatrick, the parish of Walston may have taken its name from Waldef, another brother of the same Earl, and that from Waldef's-toun, the name may have been transformed into Walyston or Walston".
In fugure, this parish approaches towards a trapezium, the northern, eastern and southern boundaries extending to about 3 miles respectively and the western to about 2 miles. It is bounded on the north by a corner of Carnwath and by Dunsyre, on the east by Dolphinton, on the south (having touched Kirkurd and Skirling in a single point) and on the west by Liberton." Stat.

A large and important stream which rises in the Co.[County] of Edinburgh, and after a very long and circuitous course unites itself with the North Medwin. the joint waters of the two streams after a short but exceedingly crooked course falling into the River Clyde. The portion of this stream belonging to the Parish of Walston has originally been very crooked, and when flooded, inundated a considerable area of valuable land, but in 1829 an artificial and more direct channel was cut for it, leaving the land which it formerly overflowed open for improvement, This stream in its course through the Co.[County] of Lanark forms portions of the boundaries of the following parishes, viz. Dolphinton, Walston, Dunsyre, Carnwath and Liberton. |
