Early records of an old Glasgow family

AN OLD GLASGOW FAMILY 97
These subjects were evidently the same as the " Great tene-
ment of Land, high and laigh, back and fore, with Stables,
breuhouses, closse, well, yeards and pertinents theirof, lying in the
Wyndheid of Glasgow in that Lane called the Rottenraw," his
interest in which is assigned by Ninian Hill, the eldest son of
Ninian Hill and Mary Craufurd, with "consent of James Aird of
Millntoun, Merchant in Glasgow, and John Chapman, Wrytter
there," his Curators, to his uncle, Laurence Craufurd, in 171 i, 3 by
whom the property was subsequently sold, as after-mentioned.
A full and interesting description and account of these subjects
is given in Dr. David Murray's learned and most exhaustive paper
on " The Rottenrow of Glasgow," in the Regality Club Publica-
tions,' viz. :
The " Auld Paidagogie" of Glasgow.
"From the records of the University 3 it appears that the
'Awlde Paidagog,' — as distinguished from the 'new Pedagogy,' built
on the ground acquired from Sir Thomas Arthurlie,— was latterly
the Manse of the Parson of Luss, and we are thus enabled to trace
its history. In 1478 this property belonged to Gilbert Rerik, who
was then Archdeacon of Glasgow. In that year he settled it and
other property as an endowment for a Chaplainry in the Aisle of
St. Michael the Archangel behind the great south door of the
Cathedral. 4 He describes it as the 'tenement in the Ratonraw
( Via Ratonum) on the south side thereof, otherwise known as the
Petagogy (Petigogium), lying between the tenement of Master
John Restown on the east, and a tenement, then waste, which
formerly belonged to Sir John Brown on the west.'
