Hello all.
I'm new to Ayrshire History but it looks very interesting. My particular interest is the early history of the Shire. At the moment, this means the Barony and Parish of Auchinleck. What I am collecting are the names of the various villages and hamlets which would have made up the Barony and Parish before modern times, roughly the 16th century.
But its slow going. There is a ton of stuff after about 1504 when the Boswells became the Lords of Auchinleck. But before that when it was held by the Lords Auchinleck of Auchinleck? Not so much.
So far I have only collected the names Temple Auchinleck, Pennyland, Cronberry and Boghead though there must be many more. Any help with this much appreciated.
Regards,
Colin
