J. McCheyne Watchman Matthew Carlin, Roadman Mrs. Hamilton, Townhead J. Hamilton, Holytown Estate Map W. Forrest, Holytown J. Webster Factor |
012.02 | A large mixed Plantation on Woodhall Estate, said to be named from the trees being at first planted in the form of O's - an appearance which it does not present at present. The name applies also to the strip which extends from the north, at "O Wood Row", along the side of "Borrowstounness Road", to the T. P. Road [Turnpike] on Trace 2.XII-6 in the south. There is a difficulty in arranging the anomaly which occurs with this name and that of the dwellings of the same name on Trace 2. The dwellings are named from the Plantation, which is in all cases called the "O Wood" , & to change the name of the houses would be altering the proper name of them. The Factor's authority for the a with O is not used by anyone else. |

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.
