  • Place-Names in and Around the Fleet Valley ==== D ==== Daffin Daffin Is a Farm at the Head of the Cleugh of Doon Above Carsluith
    Place-names in and around the Fleet Valley ==== D ==== Daffin Daffin is a farm at the head of the Cleugh of Doon above Carsluith. There is a Daffin Tree marked on the 1st edition OS map at Killochy in Balmaclellan parish, and Daffin Hill in this location on current OS maps, across the Dee from Kenmure Castle; Castle Daffin is a hill in Parton parish and a house by Auchencairn. This is likely to be Gaelic *Dà pheiginn ‘two pennylands’. Peighinn is ‘a penny’, but in place-names it refers to a unit of land, based on yield rather than area. It probably originated in the Gaelic-Norse context of Argyll and the southern Hebrides, and was introduced into the south-west by the Gall- Ghàidheil (see Ardwell above). It occurs in place-names in Galloway and, especially, Carrick as ‘Pin- ‘ as first element, ‘-fin’ with ‘softened ‘ph’ after a numeral or other pre-positioned adjective. Originally a pennyland was a relatively small division of a davoch (dabhach, see Cullendoch above), but in the south-west places whose names contain this element appear in mediaeval records as holdings of relatively substantial landowners, comprising good extents of pasture, meadow and woodland as well as the arable core, and yielding much higher taxes than the pennylands further north. Indeed, peighinn may have come to be used more generally in the region for a fairly substantial estate without implying a specific valuation. *Dà pheiginn ‘two pennylands’ would, then, have been a large and productive landholding. However, a Scots origin is also possible, or if the origin was Gaelic, reinterpretation by Scots speakers is possible: daffin or daffen is a Scots word for ‘daffodil’, but as a verb, daffin(g) is ‘playing daft, larking about’.

  • A Miscellany of Bastle Houses by Tam Ward
    A Miscellany Of Bastle Houses by Tam Ward. 2017 . Further archaeological work done within the Daer Reservoir, South Lanarkshire PAGE 1 A Miscellany of Clydesdale Bastle Houses. Tam Ward With contribution by Ann Mathieson 2017 Abstract Since 1981 after the discovery that Windgate House near Coulter was a bastle house, search, survey and in some instances excavation, has revealed a series of hitherto unknown such houses in Upper Clydesdale. Research continues on the subject of Scottish bastle houses, and fieldwork, although now scaled down, continues also. This paper presents several sites which have seen less intensive research but are nevertheless important as part of the grouping of bastles and probably bastles in Upper Clydesdale, now part of South Lanarkshire. Introduction The following sites are given in this paper since they have not merited individual reports compared to those places which have been more thoroughly investigated, mainly by excavation and which are given on the BAG website (see references below). This work completes the reporting of sites which are confidently interpreted as bastle houses in Clydesdale, although other possible sites are known, and numerous localities where only historical references are now available, are also suspected as being of the bastle tradition of building and occupation in the 17th century (see Zeune 1992). Sites CARNWATH MILL Tam Ward 2015 By shear chance when visiting the late owner, Mr Tom Alison at Carnwath Mill Farm and on Biggar Museum business, the writer realised that the kitchen he was sitting in, and while having a cup of tea, was in fact part of a bastle house.

  • Chairman's Report, 2015/16
    LOWTHER HILLS SKI CLUB Chairman's Report, 2015/16 1. Thank you Last season 2015/16 was the second season of operations of Lowther Hills Ski Club. Two years ago, in November 2014, we were at Rab Paul's garage, greasing and welding the pylons of the ski tow that we had just brought from Harwood. At this point, we did not have any facilities on Lowther Hill, or the permission to run any skiing facilities on the hill. Before going through last year's achievements, let us remember that the Lowther Hills Ski Club is run by volunteers and gratitude should be expressed to all those who have contributed in different ways to make this happen. Building a snowfence, servicing the quad bike, designing a ski pass, welcoming visitors at the nursery slope... in the past two years over 100 people have helped the Ski Club in different capacities. This makes Lowther Hills the largest volunteer-based ski development in Scotland since Scottish Ski Club members created Glencoe in the 1950s. What we are doing is inspiring many people. To everybody, members who support Lowther Hills Ski Club with their membership, people who have donated towards the Club's crowdfunders, and volunteers who give unpaid hours of their time and work for the common good, thank you for making this happen. 2. Membership and volunteers Lowther Hills Ski Club closed the season 2015/16 with 232 members. 50% of the membership is based in the Lowther Hills and surrounding areas of Biggar, Lanark and Nithsdale. The highest concentration of members (30%) is in the Lowther villages of Leadhills and Wanlockhead, where the Ski Club remains the most popular local group in terms of membership numbers (most local families with children are members of the Club).
