Continued entries/extra info
Mr Archibald Barbour the Farmer of Bushglen states that some years ago his father commenced to cart away the soil from the Mounts but when the proprietor John Crawfurd Esqr heard of the affair he would not allow it to be defaced which goes to prove its identity as something connected with the antiquities of the parish.
Archibald Barbour further States that the only thing found in his remembrance was a cut Stone of nice workmanship, the appearance of the herbage at all times is different from anything adjoining.

This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Ayr, which is in the south west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
