Where was Munn's Land? COMPLETED

Hi Lindsay

By pure coincidence I was talking about Mount Pleasance tonight to a colleague in the village.
Kilbarchan is a long skinny village winding up the hill towards Bridge of Weir - the next village west.
The very last house on the right leaving the village is Mount Pleasance. In 1841 there were three families living there and one unoccupied dwelling (how's that for recall?). The gable of the house sits right next to the road and it looks as though it has been there for a very long time!! All kind of saggy & weary. It is a single residence nowadays though.

Interestingly there is another Mount Pleasance 2-3 miles away in Johnstone. It was a grander affair. The residence of the manager of the mill next door.

It seems that it was a popular name for a 'tenement' at that time.

Cheers

Russell
