Early records of an old Glasgow family

76 THE EARLY RECORDS OF
Ninian Hill's Landed Estates, vi2. :
Ninian Hill succeeded to landed estates of considerable extent
through both his father and mother, viz. :
Garioch.
From his father he obtained the £4 6s. 8d. land of Garioch,
mention of which has already been fully made.
Granges.
Through his mother, Helen Hutcheson, he succeeded or
derived right to the five merkland of Granges, in Ayrshire,
also previously referred to in this narrative ; and he further
succeeded through his mother to the after-mentioned properties,
respecting which the following Notanda may here be given.
Nether Carmyle, called " Hutchesoune T
The one merkland of Nether Carmyle called " Hutchesoune
would seem, from its inclusion in the " Inventar of the Wrytes
and Evidentis" of lands "belonging to Master Niniane Hill,
heritabillie, and qrof Marioune Stewart, relict of umquhyll
Master Thomas Hucheson of Lambhill is lyfrentar," 1 to have
belonged to Ninian Hill, but I have not been able to trace
the actual title, nor when, precisely, it passed out of the
family.
The property was that of a small holding, as a " Kindly
tenant," or " Rentaller," of the Archbishopric, originally belonging
to Thomas Hutcheson, the father of George and Thomas
Hutcheson, Founders of the Hospital, this merkland being in-
cluded in the " Chartour granted by Walter Lord Feu-fermerar
of ye twa merkland of Lambhill and ane merkland of Nether
