Origin of Name of Kirkpatrick-Durham. 49 



in the parish of Rerrick, Barlok is Barlocco, in the same parish, 

 the Isle of Esthohii is the Isle of Heston opposite Balcary Point, 

 Aghenkippe is, I suppose, Kipp, in the parish of Colvend, and 

 Aghencarne is Auchencairn. In the same way a Charter* 

 belonging to the House of Kenmure, dated 8th April, 1358, 

 records a grant " by Robert Stewart of Scotland and Earl of 

 Stratherne to William de Gordon, lord of Stitchell, of the New 

 Forest of Glenkens, within the Sheriffdom of Dumfries." It 

 was nott till 1372, when Archibald Douglas received in per- 

 petual fee all the crown lands of Galloway between the Nith 

 and the Cree that the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright became 

 finally and judicially defined as separate from the County and 

 Sheriffdom of Dumfries.] 



I now return to Bain's Calendar of Documents relating to 

 Scotland. The Charter No. 1702 already quoted mentioned 

 lands within Kirkpatrick-Durand belonging to the Abbey of 

 Dundrennan. The one I am now about to quote mentions 

 lands in the same parish belonging to Newabbey or Sweetheart. 

 This one is No. 1703 and is of the same date, viz., 18th October, 

 1305 — " Charter to the Abbot and Convent of Sweetheart in 

 Galloway of free warren in all their demesne lands of Conquide- 

 lon and Kirkpatrick-Duraund in the County of Dumfries." If 

 it were necessary to show that the same place is meant it would 

 be easy to prove that a considerable part of the parish (e.g., the 

 lands of Barncailzie and Crofts) were held of Dundrennan, 

 while other parts (such as Macartney) were held of Sweetheart. 

 We see also the eponym of the parish in a slightly different form, 

 D-u-r-a-u-n-d this time instead of D-u-r-a-n-d, showing that in 

 neither case was it an error of transcription — a mistake of a 

 copyist, but that the form of it in 1305 was different from what 

 it is now. 



From those three authorities of 1273 and 1305 we mav take 

 it as an established fact that the name of the parish at that 

 time was Kirkpatrick-Dorand, Durand, or Duraund. 



The next question that falls to be answered is, was there any 

 family of this name, Durand, in the parish from whom we might
