extends westward from the Clyde; the house upon it being, possibly from the extreme beauty of the situation, occupied by one of the owners of the extensive cotton-mills at New Lanark, and, from the rate on the roll, it must be mansion-like. Newhouse (298-1240) farm is of small extent, is south of Kirkfield Mains, and between the river Clyde and the road from Carmichael and Douglas. Clyde Villa (298), grounds, etc., occupied in 1858-9 by a local manufacturer, are of considerable value, as is a place held as grass land, and named Distillery Park. Ten parcels houses and land, in the adjacent village of Kirkfieldbank, averaging above £7 of rental, make out the estate. The Birkenhead estate (300) is on the south-west of the parish, in the Coalburn and Cumberhead district; the farm of Birkenhead (300-993) being of fair extent, those of Cleughbar (300-1235), of Craigbank (300--), and Hill (300-1238), being of small size, and near the Nethan-water. The lime-works appear to be of considerable value. Brackenhill, Brownhills, Coalburn, Deanside, and Midholm, are parcels of land, averaging about £22 each, and make up the rent-roll.
