AND STIRLINGSHIRE HUNT 



use of the Duns Castle kennels. When he hunted 

 Lanarkshire and the Carnwath country, he had 

 kennels at Newmains and Carnbroe, and at Carn- 

 wath ; when in Forfarshire, kennels at Forfar ; and 

 when in East Lothian, kennels at Amisfield near 

 Haddington ; while the west of Fife district was 

 probably overtaken from Torryburn or some other 

 convenient centre. Captain Fleeming seems to 

 have used the Laurieston, Golfhall, and Carnwath 

 kennels during his term of office in the same way 

 that Captain Sandilands did later. In 1856, how- 

 ever, kennels at Kersewell were substituted for 

 those at Carnwath, and in the following year the 

 Laurieston kennels were given up, and those at 

 Golfhall, which had been rebuilt or repaired, were 

 constituted the headquarters. In Mr C. W. R. 

 Ramsay's short mastership there was no change, 

 the kennels used being those at Golfhall and at 

 Kersewell, but when Colonel Gillon undertook the 

 management, he reverted to the Laurieston kennels, 

 with outlying quarters at Hopetoun and at Uphall. 

 In 1869 the kennels at Golfhall again became the 

 headquarters, and there the hounds have been 

 kept ever since.
