Parish of Stevenston -- County of Ayr
There was a small village of antiquity, called
Piper heugh, of which there are some remains in the
wood at Ardeer. The inhabitants were chiefly Trump
makers: and there are some it would appear, in Stevenston of the same profession, for in the
Commissariat of Glasgow we find the record of the death, in 1627, of Agnes Glasgow, spouse to John Logane, trump
-maker in Stevenston; The trump which they manufactured at Piperheugh was the Jews' Harp; and from the name of
their residence it would appear that this little colony possessed the united accomplishments of Jubal and Tubal being not [only]
'artificers in [brass] and iron' but 'handlers of the harp', and [it is probable] of the pipe.
