The village was always associated with the Cunningham family, the Earls of Glencairn, but the estate was sold to Henrietta Scott, the Marchioness of Titchfield in 1786.

Here's a receipt for our household's annual payment of feu duty to the Eglinton estate at Whitsunday 1965:

As well as 17s 6d in * feu duty or tacks duty ", it seems we also had to pay the munificent sum of 4d as " cess or land tax ". But in some similar bills from a year or two later we're let off that one. I've found one meaning for cess in the dictionary as being short for assessment, so that''s probably where that comes from; but what the significance is of this strange little optional extra , is quite another matter .
