027.15 | Tradition says that in this place called Craigmadddie Muir a battle was fought with the Danes in which one of their princes was slain. There have been Cairns found on the farm of Blochairn which may be a corruption of Bal Cairn, i.e. the Town of the Cairns". Old Statl. [Statistical] Account. In the district or in Parochial writings, this Name is spelt Blochearn & Blochern, but in Accounts &c. of the Parish it is given as adopted on Examination Traces, which from its likely derivation, is upon the first two personal authorities, the proper mode of spelling. The Proprietors of High & Low Blochairn are indifferent as to which form is used. Cotters Houses north of the steading are all comprehended under this Name - "High Blochairn". |
