OS1/21/59/1 Header: Parish of Wiston and Roberton [Page] 1 [List of Names] WISTON AND ROBERTON [modes of spelling] United Parishes of Wiston and Roberton [Authority] Statistical Account Sheriffs substitute per letter T. M. Shirley Sheriffs Clerk Mr John Black Schoolmaster of Roberton Presentation of the parish Minister [Descriptive Remarks] The parishes of Wiston and Roberton were united in the year 1772. Roberton was probably so called from some eminent person of the name Robert, or, from some opulent family having conferred itas a portion upon a son of that name. Two derivations are given of the name of Wiston. By some it is supposed to have been originally Woolstown, or rather, in the Scotch language, Woostown, in course of time corrupted into Wiston and to have been so called from its having been in former times a great market for Wool. It is certain that there is still, about the middle of the village a mound or small rising ground, pointed out bythe old inhabitants as the cross or place where that market was held. By others, again, it is supposed to have been originally Wisetown, thence easily contracted into Wiston, and to have been so called from its having been the property of a man of the name of Wise. The Place, the name of a farm close upon the village, seems to indicate that it was at one time the seat of the proprietor. Neither derivation is unnatural, though which is the correct one it may

OS1/21/59/2 [United Parishes of Wiston and Roberton (continued from page 1.)] ---not be easy to determine. The united parish extends about 6 miles in length and 4 in breadth, exhibiting nearly the form of a parallelogram, containing about ---- statute acres. It is in the Presbytery of Lanark, and Synod of Glasgow and Ayr. Tinto, the Hill of Fire, which forms the northern boundary of the parish, is upwards of 2000 feet above the level of the sea, and commands in every direction a most extensive view. The principal points seen from it are Hartfell, Queensberry Hill, Cairntable, Goatfell, Isle of Arran, The Bass, the hills in the north of England, and even in the north of Ireland. The books belonging to the Kirk Session of the old parish of Roberton have unfortunately been lost, and no trace of them can be discovered. The earliest of those belonging to the old parish of Wiston bears the date of 1694, and with occasional, but trifling interruptions, they are extant from that period to the present. There are three villages in the parish, Roberton, Wiston and Newton, for the population of which see pages 10, 11 and 32. A post office subordinate to Biggar is situated in the village of Wiston. The turnpike road from Stirling to Carlisle runs through the whole length of the parish. Also the Caledonian Railway passes through the Parish. The present church is that of the old parish of Wiston. It was enlarged after the annexation of the two parishes, has since been repaired , and is at present in a very tolerable state. It is seated for 355, not the legal provision. The Manse was bulit in the year 1750, and during the present incumbency, a considerable addition was made to it. There are two Glebes, the glebe of the old parish of Roberton , and that of the old parish of Wiston. The glebes are more than two miles distant from each other, and though it is strongly recommended in the Decreet of Annexation[underlined] " to exchange the glebe and yard of Roberton for lands lying contiguous to the Glebe of Wiston", the recommendation has not yet been attended to. The tiends are exhausted, and by a decreet of Modification and locality, 1816, the Stipend was fixed at £191.11.8 and one chaldron of meal. There is a relief chapel in the village of Roberton. It was built about 30 years ago and is seated for 377. There are three schools in the Parish, two parochial and one private and unendowed. There are no detached portions of this parish, nor are there any detached portions of any other parish situated within it.

The name is a derivative from a Gaelic word signifying fire and would imply that from its most commanding and extensive view over a large tract of level country, its summit was used in feudal times as a place for beacons or signals: it is about 2400 feet above the level of the sea - the part situated in Wiston ph [Parish] presents a peculiar appearance from the number of landslips down its weather beaten sides.
