OS1/35/48/3 BELL KNOWE Bell Knowe Bell Knowe Bell Knowe Bell Knowe Rev. [Reverend] R Synnot Mr John McConchie. Mr. J. Rea George McHaffie Esq. 019 [Situation] 1/4 Mile North of the Mains of Penninghame A small pyramidal hill. when James IV. passed through Penninghame on 7th March 1506.7 on a pilgrimage to Whithorn, he gave at the Clauchan of Penninghame a donation of 9S.4g [9 shillings and four groats ] to a man that bore St. Ninians bell. From that circumstance the author of Caledonia concludes that it was a hand bell. That conjecture is almost confirmed by another circumstance. Very near to the ruins of the Old Church is a small Knoll, still denominated the "Bell Knowe" on that eminence, it seems most probable the man stood and rang the bell at the fixed hours.

[Reverend] A Synnott. states it as being the site of the secondary dwelling place of the Bishop of Galloway, and that it was destroyed about 1560. "The Rev. [Reverend] D McLeod St. Columba, Glasgow considers that the name( Penninghame) is Gaelic, and made up of two words , "signifying either the land for grazing young cattle , or the penny land ( the lot or portion) of the smith. That view "of the derivation of the name is supported by the circumstance of a pendicle of land , denominated the Smiths Croft, " lying within a short distance of the ruins of the old church .
