Re Peelhill:
The Estate of Lanfine in the Parishes of Galston and Avondale.
When Lanfine consisted of land in Avondale Parish this land was part of the Duke of Hamilton's estate which he had to sell to pay debts. Michael Cochrane was farming Peel Hill Farm, Avondale, by 1854. This farm was the home farm of the Hamilton Estate."
Peel Hill Farm is 5 miles East of Lanfine.
