018.14 | "There is a conical rising ground (gallowhill) south east of Larkhall, where it is said, culprits used in ancient times to be executed". New Statistical Account. The name applies to the houses between "Muir's Place", and "Quoad sacra church", but principally to the house by the side of the Parish road, from turnpike road, leading to "Bowmans Flat". There is no hill or knowe here now, but there appears to have been some elevated ground about the houses to which the name is written. None of the older persons of the locality remember of the hill, but from the name being so generally used to the house where the name is written, it is likely that it stands on the Gallowhill. The name could not be repeated to the elevated portion of ground. |

Ordnance Survey - Lanark county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Lanark, which is in the west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
