OS1/26/3/56A [page] 56A Eaglesham Ph. [Parish] Old Stat. [Statistical] Account. Page 117 Yr. [Year] 1791 "Before the village was built, which gives it's name to this parish, there were several woods in it, particularly one of great extent on the banks of the river, an English mile south of the village. This wood & the rocks in this neighbourhood, were much frequented by eagles; & as they often perched on the holm, or low ground, where afterwards the village was built, it was thence called Eaglesholm, or Eaglesham. Others derive the name from Ecclesia-holm, or, the church in the hollow." Page 119. "Several rivulets rise out of the muirs of Eaglesham, and fall into the River Cart, on the East side of the parish. This river takes it's rise out of the muirs of Kilbride & Eaglesham, about four miles south of the village of Eaglesham; & in it's course Northwards divides the Counties of Lanark & Renfrew, and this parish from Kilbride & Carmunnock." - "There are two mineral springs in this parish; the one is of a purgative quality, and when used in cases of Complaints in the Stomach, gives immediate relief. The other is used as a remedy for the Muir-ill in black cattle, and is Carried to a great distance for that purpose" - "At Balegich-hill, two miles west of the village, there have been lately observed Several pieces of the barytes, or heavy stone. It is of a red -"

This circumstance, joined with other signs render it probable, that there are silver & lead in this part of the parish.- There are also found large masses of the Osmund, which seems to be a volcanic production. It stands the strongest heat without renting, for which it is used in building ovens & other furnaces". Page 120 [Left margin] Antiquities. "Upon the banks of the Cart, a few miles from it's source there is still standing a part of the walls of the Castle of Punoon or Poinon. Sir John Montgomerie of Eaglesham at the Battle of Otterburne, in 1388, took Henry Piercy (the famous hotspur) prisoner, with his own hand, and with the ransom or poind money, built that Castle whence its name is derived" [Left margin] Old Chapel. "An old popish chapel, a very diminutive place, was used for public worship, till within these two years when Lord Eglinton, much to his honour, erected a most elegant church, of an octagonal form, and fitted it up in the best manner."

The principal Rivers are three - viz. White & Black Cart, and the river of Grief. [note: out of Ph (Parish)] White Cart hath its source between Eagelsham in this shire, and Evandale & Kilbride in Clydesdale, upon the bank of which (some few miles from its Source) Stands first, the Castle of Punnoon, the principal messuage of the Barony of Eagelsham an ancient possession of the Montgommeries. Continuation by Robertson: "Eaglesham Parish" see Page 23. This Parish is situated in the South-east corner of the County, and contains 15.436 English acres. It continues still to belong, nearly all, to the Earl of Eglinton. The lands of Achinhood (containing the farms of Netherton, Holehall, Holemuir and Manlouther which, in Crawfurd's time, belonged to a Cadet of the noble family of Eglinton, have since, in [...] been reunited to the other property of its Chief. There are only four other heritors in the Parish, and their properties are comparatively Small, and who hold them as vassals in feu of the Earl. Namely, 1. Millhall; John Mather, whose father acquired this small, but pleasant spot, by marrying Mary, the only surviving child of Robert Dunlop of Millhall, whose ancestor was a younger son of Dunlop of that ilk. The extent is about 10 acres of fertile land, on which there is a neat small mansion, and also a mill, pleasantly Situated on the water of White Cart, about a mile S.E. [South east] of the village of Eagleshame.

[North] of Eagleshame, all good land, acquired Succession, about 150 years ago, from a family of the name Anderson. 3. Muirhouse, East [and] 4. Muirhouse, West purchased in 1742, by their grandfather from Baron Mure of Caldwell. These two properties, lying conterminous to each other, are situated about two miles west from Eagleshame, and partake, much [of the] nature of the muirish Country they are surrounded with, partly Cultivated, partly natural meadow, and partly in enough unreclaimed lands, well stocked with muir-fowl.

P. 383 The Parish of Eaglesham is nearly a square about 6 miles in a direction from north to south, and 5½ miles from East to west, it is bounded on the east by the White Cart which Seperates it from the parishes of East Kilbride and Carmunnock, on the north, by Mearns or Earnwater, which seperate it from Mearns and the lands of Humbie; on the west by the parish of [Left margin 384] Fenwick; and on the South, by the parish of Loudon. The highest hills in the parish are Balagich, Dunwan, [Mires] and Blackwood, which vary in height from 1000 to 1200 feet.

OS1/26/3/56F [page] 56F County of Renfrew Parish of Eaglesham [Continued] The highest part of the Village is about 800 feet above the Sealevel; the best arable lands from 500 to 800. With the exception of Misty Law in Lochwinnoch, the above are the highest hills in the county. The Earnwater is a considerable stream on the north-west of the parish, falling into the Cart at a house called St Helena; as it stands on a sort of island formed by the junction of the two waters, and a mill lead that joins them together. The Kevoch burn, near the centre of the parish, is also a considerable stream. The parish abounds everywhere in excellent springs. Two of these are mineral. One at Munzie Hill, on the South Side of the parish, is slightly laxative; the other, at Bonninton, on the north Side, has long been famous for the cure of muir-ill in cattle. The most striking feature in the hydrography of this parish is the great extent of ground covered by reservoirs for the Supply of the mills at Eaglesham, Busby, Fenwick, etc. Upwards of 237 acres are thus permanently inundated. There are no less than three lochs at Picket Law; a fourth on the lands of Dunnan, Greenfield, Braehead & Holehall; a fifth on the lands of Dunnan, Blackwood, and Blackwood Hills; and a sixth at Binend. The extent of ground covered by each is as follows: ------------------------------------------------Acres.--Roods.--Falls. 1. Picket Law and Kirkton Reservoirs 26--------3---------6 2. Dunnan. Greenfield. etc Reservoir 64--------1--------36 3. Dunwan. Blackwood, etc Reservoir 96--------0--------31 4. Binend Loch. 50--------0----------7 Total 237--------2----------0 These measurements do not contain the portion belonging to the Marquis of Hastings. The Torburn and Thriepland burn join at Millhouse dam, after which their combined waters form the White Cart. A little below Craigenfeich, at Allerton farm, limestone is seen in the bed of the Cart. After disappearing for some time it appears again a quarter of a mile above Nethercraig bridge. The whin comes in again at Hole, and at the bridge on the road between Eaglesham and East Kilbride. The Cheif messuage was the Castle of Punoon, or, as it is sometimes written, Polnone or Polnoon, vulgarly pronounced Pownoon. This barony seems all along to have remained in the quiet possession of the Eglinton family. The Earls of Eglinton have Still
