Weeaza, Thank you so much for locating Kingston for me. I don't think there is any sign of this little hamlet/village today.

Oh dear!!!! I did forget about trains. The time span I'm interested in is 1790 -1830. As in today there is the right to roam, would inhabitants of either village go cross country? Would anybody know if this happened. Gray865

Renfrewshire / Travelling between Neilston and Lochwinnoch 1800s

Would there be different routes used from present day to travel between Neilston and Lochwinnoch?
I only know of via Paisley and it would seem such a distance to travel in those bygone days. Gray865

I've been searching for information on Kingston, Dunlop without any success. I know of Kingston Rd., from Neilston to Dunlop but that is all I have. I hope someone can help. Gray865

Lanarkshire / Re: Where is Foulgate, Bothwell?

Well, no wonder I couldn't find Foulgate at the present place of Bothwell! The marked boundary of the old parish of Bothwell was a revelation. Thank you DonM and Lodger

Lanarkshire / Where is Foulgate, Bothwell?

I have a birth certificate of 1805 naming place Foulgate, Bothwell. Can someone tell me where it is situated. I have tried looking at various maps with no luck. Thanks

Thanks BonnieJean and Falkyrn. I guess back in 1795 there may have been a small farm there but at least your description of locality certainly helps me to home in on Raws of Grougar.
Many thanks
Many thanks

I have been searching for Raws of Grougar. In 1795 a birth shows that it was registered in Kilmarnock district but where? Father was a farmer. Thanks.
