FARMS SURROUNDING STONEHOUSE
Stonehouse being a rural village was and still is surrounded by many farms. One of the earliest records we have of residents of Stonehouse farms was an extract from the Minutes of the Kirk session which lists names of persons resident in the parish. The following information has been extracted from the information printed in Naismiths Statistical account of Stonehouse.
The following are a list of farms and (photoraphs where we have them), If you have a photograph not shown why not consider passing a copy to the hertiage group.
Our group are still adding to this page and are seeking early copies of photographs or later details of who was the owner or tennant in the farm.
This miscellanous gallery provides a map and list of land owners / tennants
As we gather information we will add it under each farm. Please note if the photograph does not appear due to its sizing please click on the photograph to enlarge. Thanks to J Young, J Monie, Mr Hamilton and all others who provided some photographs.
