Scottish Occupation COMPLETED

[deerness]

I wonder if someone could interpret the occupation of James Hogarth on this Scottish Old Parish Register entry from 1823.  On these records, the name is always directly followed by the father's occupation but I'm blowed if I can work this one out!!   Any help greatly appreciated.

Hind.  A Hind is a married and skilled farm-workman, for whom a cottage is provided on the farm.

From the Oxford English Dictionary
A Hind; In Scotland and some parts of northern England: A married and skilled farm-workman, for whom a cottage is provided on the farm, and sometimes a cow; he has the charge of a pair of horses, and a responsible part in the working of the farm. An average-size farm has two hinds' houses besides the farm-house.
  He bears to the farmer the same relation that a skilled journeyman holds to a master tradesman, and ranks above the farm-servants and labourers. In former times he furnished a female field-worker from his own family, or by himself hiring one, to perform stated work
