"This is a large dwelling house of three storeys with garden, occupied by Mr Russell; the proprietor O. T. Bruce Esq. Nuthill. This name and that of Templelands and a well called Ladywell, seem to point out the existence of a religious house. Regarding such a house, nothing traditionary exists in this neighbourhood."[5]
"On the approach from the SE, a pair of sentries on the hillside to the L, Glebelands, the old Parish Manse, by Thomas Barclay, 1807. The early C19 Chapelyard House next door is much smarter, with a pilastered doorpiece and round-arched windows in the wings."[6]
"My Lord,
We had a meeting of the Works Committee yesterday evening at the Glebe, with reference to the water supply to the Manse and Chapelyard. The present old horseshoe pipes conducting the water from a spring in the Glebe to a tank at the bottom of it have become defective and choked up.
Your obedient servant, George Gavin."[7]
