Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.

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.

Re: What is a "bailliary"?
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 .
