Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Private track to Blackmailing and Craigleith. The modern buildings of Blackmailing stand 50 metres to the east of the ruins of an earlier farmstead of that name. Records of land ownership reveal that Craigleith and Blackmailing farms were in existence as early as 1770.
Other farms that are shown nearby on the first-edition OS map (1865), but which have long since disappeared, include Burnbrae (which was at NS 4719 7370), and Gowkstone (which was located at NS 4743 7356; it was already annotated as a ruin on the first-edition map). On the 13th of May, 1568, the owner of Burnbrae and a certain John Alanson or Allison of Blackmailing took part in the Battle of Langside; the latter lost his life on that occasion ["History of the Parish of West or Old Kilpatrick", John Bruce, 1893; facsimile re-published in 1995]. The battle is commemorated by 1098221, although the battle site itself was about 500m to the east of the monument.
