Early records of an old Glasgow family

6o THE EARLY RECORDS OF
Garioch, as already stated, extended in all to a £i t 6s. 8d.
land of old extent, the whole of which came into the possession
of the Hill family, and is thus described in their titles, viz. :
"All and Haill the £\ 6s. 8d. land of old extent of Garioch with
the Tower, Fortalice, Manour Place, houses, biggings, yards,
Orchyards, Mill, mill-lands, multures and sequeles thereof, Walk-
mill, Coall, coall-heughs, Chappell and chappell lands, pasturadges,
parts, pendicles and pertinents of the same, whatsoever, lying
within the Barony Parish of Glasgow, Regality thereof, and
Sheriffdom of Lanark." 1
It may be mentioned here, although the period and the writ is
that of Ninian Hill of Garioch's son, that in 1681, as appears from
a clear and distinctly written paper giving full details, titled " Mr.
Ninian Hill of Lambhill, his Rental], 13th Sepb r ', 1681," 2 the lands
of Garioch were occupied by 13 tenants, the farms or holdings
being named " Mains of Garroch," " Milne lands," " Milne,"
"Chappell," " Lochburn," " Hunter's-brae," " Margaret's Meallin '
(i.e. Mailing), " Gilshochhill," "Burn," " Glenhead," and two
" crofts," one tenanted by a " weiver," and the other by a smith,
the rental from the whole amounting to and consisting of viz., 43
bolls, 3 firlots of meal, 2 pecks of groats, 44 hens, 6 capons, of kain
rent, and ^521 13s. Scots of "silver rent"; from which on the
other hand, as appears from another document, apparently of
about the same date as the above-mentioned Rental, and titled,
" Compt of what is payit out of Mr. Ninian Hill's land to the
Bishop," 3 there was payable to the Archbishop of Glasgow, of
whom the lands were holden, viz. : 4 bolls of malt, 1 boll of
