Trace 5
Hunthall Is written on
trace but not entered
in Name Sheets.Descriptive
RemarKs required to
be written.
The name "Hillkitty"
as applied to a hill on the
trace is rather doubtful.
Can you ascertain what
gave rise to this name.
On Stobies County map
there is shewn a house on
the south side of this hill
called "Holekelly" This
house which has, it appears,
been removed I would
be inclined to think gave
rise to the name of the
hill. Therefore should
not the hill be called
HoleKelly Hill? and
the burn at this place
Trace 6
Glendevon Castle is entered
in Name Sheets but no
authority is given for the
name. Please supply
authority for name and
Spelling. Is there any
account of its history either
traditional or otherwise
in the neighbourhood?
By whom, or when was it
built? What family possessed it?

[Hunthall]
Name Sheet now supplied
[HillKitty]
Hillkitty is proper
There is no tradition as to the
origin of the name, but a
Mr George Forbes, Glenhead gives me to
understand that he saw the records
of a Law plea which happened
some seventy years ago where in it
is designated by an Edinburgh
Lawyer as "Holy Keely" which
certainly must have been either
burlesque upon the satanick
features or bumps of the objects
or the learned gentleman was very
wrongly informed about the name
[Glendevon Castle]
Mr Martin,Teacher, & Mr
Cunningham, Minister, are authorities for
this name. It is sometimes wrongly
called "Whitehill Castle." There is no such
place nowadays as "Whitehill" There
is no tradition connected with it, more
than that at one time it was occupied
by the followers of the great Duke of
Montrose & the Earl of Crawford
to whose family it formerly belonged
Is it not called
White hills Castle as on Co. [County] maps? Whitehills, and E [Easter] Glensherup
formerly belonging to the Crawford family.
