FOOTNOTES:
[A] The figures refer to Notes at the end.
[B] Bennies Croft is now the well known field of Allan Park.
[C] The parish Church of Stirling, prior to the Reformation in 1559, was attached to the Monastery of Dominicans or Black Friars, near the foot of Friar’s Wynd. This Monastery, again, was dependent upon the Monastery of Benedictines or Black Monks at Dunfermline. Hence the circumstance of the lands of Southfield having belonged to the Abbot and Convent of Dunfermline; and hence, too, the circumstance of the first minister of Stirling’s glebe having been originally situated in Southfield, and of Southfield being still in the parish of Stirling, and not in the parish of St. Ninians.
