hill, at a cost of over £1,200, the villages
of Stow and Killochyett having been con-

lectures and public meetings. There are
two woollen manufactories here. Hiringa
for servants are held on Friday before the
last Monday in February and the second

railway. Fountainhall is also a hamlet im
this parish, about 4 miles north-north-west
from Stow village, with a station on the
North British railway. Bowland is the
residence of William Ramsay esq. J. P. ;i
Crookston, of John Borthwick esq. J.P.
and Torsonce House, of Miss Milroy;
Ashiestiel was the residence of the late Sir

Abbotsford. Laidlawstiel is the property
of Lady Reay. The area comprises 26,138
acres; rateable value, £8,922; the popula-
tion in 1901 was 1,560 in the civil parish,
