| GLENGEITH (In Ruins) | Glengeith (In Ruins) Glengeith Glengeith Glengeith |
John Williamson Dr. Martin (Leadhills) John Gill Estate Plan (Barony of Hopetoun 1760) |
050 | THis was originally the homestead for the farm of Glengeith and from the appearance of the Ruins seems to have been a place of considerable strength built in a small glen near the Glengeith Burn, there is nothing left of the original house but the vault it is built of rough whinstone slabs strongly cemented together after the style of the Medieval Castles. Tradition states that the vaults in these ancient houses were used for the concealment and Security of Cattle during the Feudal Times, and that the dwelling house was always placed above the vault, so that the inhabitants could hear if any attempt was made to Steal the cattle during the hours of darkness. G.V. Irving Esqr F.R.S. of Newton House, says these places should be regarded more as Ancient Peels than Farm houses for they were used as much for the concealment of Stolen Cattle as for protection of bona fide property. |
