The origin of the name of this parish is obviously Angl-Saxon, and we find it, in the records of the 12th century, spelt "Aschechyne" and AschechirK; and in more modern times, we find AshKirK, & AsKirk - AshKirk being the present name. From the large quantity of Ash Trees - with which the parish abounded, a considerable number of which still surround the church-yard, there can be no doubt regarding the origin of the name. This parish is situated in the counties of Roxburgh & SelKirK. [continued on page 2] |

The greater portion of the Parish at one time formed part of the See of Glasgow. The Bishop of Glasgow had a Palace, which stood in a field now forming part of the present Glebe lands. Some old men in parish remember to have seen part of the Walls, and the field at this day retains the name of Palace walls; and the greater number of the present proprietors still hold of the College of Glasgow. Besides the ruins of the palace of the Bishop of Glasgow already mentioned, there are two Encampments on the farm of Castleside. There was formerly a very strong Tower or Keep on the lands of Salanside scarcely visible.
The present Church was built in 1791, is in good repair and is seated for 202 persons. The seats are all free |

This moss ( which is situate on the west side of the Co. [County] Road on the farm of "Parkhead" and the estate of Sinton) was at one period a lake covering nearly 40 acres, but had been thoroughly drained and peats and marl (of which there is an excellent seam) are now taken from it. It is sometimes called "Sinton Moss" but "Stonyford" is the original name. |
