I am researching the history of Old Kilpatrick and Rhu. Do you have info on those places.

I know a bit about Rhu or Row, for example:
[From The Regality Court of Dunfermline, 1700-1747, [RH11/27] and the Dunfermline Burgh Deeds (B20), 1748-1884. Note that the earlier volumes of the Regality consist mostly of Bonds; these Bonds have not been included in this present indexing]
