[Note] "The lands of Easter and Wester Cash, which lie S.East of Strathmiglo, formed for a considerable time a portion of that extensive Barony. Previous to coming into their possession, however, it had a separate proprietor, as the old tower where the laird resided stood upon the site of the present farm steading of Wester Cash. Tradition still speaks of the feuds which occurred between the Lairds of Cash and the Barony of Balweary; but the greater power, and for a time the better fortune of the latter family prevailed and Cash was [at] length added to their extensive possessions.
