Parish of Inverury
KnocKinglew
If it was difficult to identify the hill, it is still more so to determine the proper form of the name. I would prefer KnocKinglewes as the most common spelling in legal documents during last 200 years. Col. [Colonel] Leslie, in the "Records of the Family of Leslie," however, spells throughout this work KnocKenlewes but gives no authority for doing so. In the 15th 16th & part of the 17th centuries KnoKinblewis was the almost uniform spelling. There is no question these names all apply to the same hill, but I have failed to discover if Conglass is a contracted form of the same name. Conglass is quite close to Middleton, Netherton & Auldtown of KnoKinglewes or KnoKinblewis, & in fact it marches with Middleton. In 1257 & 1550 it is given KnoKinglass, which is a good Gaelic name, while all the others are to me perfectly unintelligible.
If I get any further information about this name I will report. J McD
(Left margin annotated)
I notice, however since writing this note that Dr. [Doctor] Davidson in "Earldom of the Garioch" spells - glews, which has been adopted in a later local work. It may be well to follow & say - Knockinglews
