The McMORRANs of Crawfordjohn, Lanarkshire
Last updated 26 June 2002

The McMorrans of Glespin

Glespin (also spelt Glaspin) i.e. Greenhill is found in names of places in Crawford, Douglas, Crawfordjohn, and elsewhere in the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire

The McMorran surname is recorded in Crawfordjohn, Lanarkshire from the 16th century. A William Makmorane of Glaspin, an estate situated between Crawfordjohn and the neighbouring village of Douglas is recorded there in 1538. James McMorran was the Laird of Glespin from the early 17th century, the estate passing to his son also named James McMorran of Glespin who is mentioned in probate records having died10/10/1668 of Glespin & Cairn currishaw in the barony of Crawfordjohn. James M'Morrane of Glespen, parish of Crawford (probably the son of the Laird referred to above) had probate granted 23 Nov 1691. Claud McMorran of Glespin is mentioned in probate records as the son and heir of this James McMorran. He and his wife Elizabeth Paton or Sitoun (? Seton) had sons James (bapt. 19 Sep 1695) and John (bapt. 3 Aug 1696). William Black entered upon the farm of Sheriffcleugh and on the 13th November 1694 he is recorded to have paid his rent at Douglas to Claud Macmorran of Glespin as tacksman (sic) for the said farm. Claud's probate was sworn in 1712.

The Crawfordjohn Kirk session records make several further references to the McMorrans of Glespin, all in respect of alleged illegitimate children.

"June 28 1727. Katherine Stewart and acknowledged herself to be with child to Robert Mcmorrane son to the Laird of Glespen and that the child was begot Octr 20 1726 in her mother's house, The session exhorted her to repentance but delay her compearance in regard the said Robert Mcmorrane is in England and appoint the moderator to write a letter to him." Robert Mcmorrane denied responsibility and eventually on his return to Crawfordjohn in 1729 the summonds to get him to appear before the kirk session was abandoned after he attacked the officer trying to serve it. (Scottish Record Office. CH2/397/2 pp. 63-66)

"Janry 7 1733. Compeared voluntarily James Mcmorran of Glespen and acknowledged himself to be the father and guilty with Elisabeth Stewart, conformed to her confession." (Scottish Record Office CH2/397/2 pp. 70 & 72)

"May 6 (1770). Which day the session met & constitute by prayer compeared Hanna McDonald late servant to the Laird of Glespin and acknowledged she was with child and that William Mcmorran merchant in Douglas was the father of her child.  Being interrogate where he was guilty with her she answered at Glespin about four months ago was asked if she had told him that she was with child to him answered in the affirmative and say he did not deny it.  She was suitably exhorted to repentance.  The session considering that the said William Mcmorran did not reside in this parish appointed their clerk to write him concerning the affair and require an answer when he will wait on the session." (Scottish Record Office CH2/397/2 pp. 169)

"May 20th 1770. The session met & constitute by prayer compeared William Mcmorran antemeridian and after Hanna McDonald's confession was read over to him he acknowledged had been guilty with her.  He was exhorted by the moderator to repentance and desired to make his first publick appearance this day.

(Scottish Record Office CH2/397/2 pp. 236) (see family tree below)

"May 31st (1795)  Agnes Forsythe was rebuked pro primo." (Scottish Record Office CH2/397/2 pp. 254-256)

The following is an extract about Glespin taken from "History of the Parish of Crawfordjohn, Upper Ward of Lanarkshire. 1153 to 1928." by Thomas Reid. Printed by Turnbull & Spiers, Edinburgh, 1928.

"The earliest recorded notice of the lands of Glespin indicate that in the first half of the seventeenth century this property was held by a family of the name of Macmorran, and alludes to an incident not connected with the Laird, But with the Lady of Glespin. The latter had given expression of opinions at the time of Montrose's descent upon the Lowlands favourable to the Highland host and contrary to those of the Presbytery of Lanark. Cited for her utterances on 3rd September 1646 before the court, the "Lady of Glespin compears and confesses she said, 'If Montrose and his people were present she would not be worse used than be our awine.'" She was "ordained to confess her fault privately before the Session, and being humbled, to be received."

Prior to 1654, James Macmorran, probably this lady's husband, was then laird. In The Inquis. Speciales, 250, February 27, 1654, "James Macmorane of Glespin, heir of James Macmorane of Glespin, his father, in the 9 merk lands of Glespin, 0. E. 9 m, N. E. 36 m; the ane merk land of Cairnecureshaw, within the barony of Crawfordjohn, 0. E. 1 m., N. E. 4 m."

One has to pass over a hundred years ere there is found any reference to the lands of Glespin. It was then the time of the '45, and Scotland was in a state of disorder quite equal to the confusion attending Montrose's campaign. The disorderly ranks of Prince Charles Stuart's army on their retreat from Derby passed through the Upper Ward, marching from Drumlanrig by Lamington, Crawfordjohn, Douglas and Lesmahagow to Glasgow, and onwards to the Highlands and Culloden Moor. On this occasion the then Laird of Glespin is found on the side of the Government. He was one of those who mustered at Lamington for the purpose of capturing the disorganised forces of Prince Charles. One of the parishioners of Crawfordjohn is said to have violently taken possession of a musket snatched from the enfeebled hands of a Highland soldier.

The Macmorran family appear to have ceased to be proprietors of Glespin about the commencement of the nineteenth century. They have left behind them little trace of family history, except that, according to popular tradition, Glespin was long possessed by lairds who had the reputation of being miser and spendthrift alternately.

The old house of the Macmorrans was one of considerable extent and appears to have been coeval with the lifetime of the two James Macmorrans mentioned under date 1654.

The successor to the Macmorrans of Glespin was a Glasgow merchant, who in turn disposed of it to Messrs Inglis & Wood, lawyers in Edinburgh. Before the old house of Glespin was demolished these new proprietors were wont to derive a fair rent for the right of shooting over the moor on the estate. For such tenants outhouses, stables and barns of considerable extent were erected for their horses and attendants, and these are still standing.  From the firm of Inglis & Wood, Glespin came into the hands of the Douglas family about 1840. On the valuation roll of 1858-59 it appears as belonging to Lady Montague of Douglas, sister of the then Countess of Home."

The Glespin McMorran succession appears to as follows:

A Jacob McMorane is recorded in Crawfordjohn in 1621. Geillis M'Morrane, in Onsett, in Crawfurdjohn had probate granted in 13 Apr 1635. James McMorran and Jean Ruan had a son David baptised in Crawfordjohn in November 1694. Another James McMorran married Margaret Watsone at Crawfordjohn on 19 December 1699 and they had the following children baptised: Margaret (2 February 1702), Elizabeth (6 May 1705) and Robert (28 May 1710) (this is the line of the maintainer of this site Marcel Safier - see below).

The map below shows the location of Crawfordjohn, Glespin and Douglas and other surrounding villages. Note Crawfordjohn's proximity to Crawford, Roberton, Wiston and Quothquan (see the McMORRANs of Wiston, LKS) and Biggar, all areas where McMorran families resided. Skirling, just over the border in Peebleshire is another village where McMorrans lived (see the McMORRANS of Peebleshire and the McMORRANs of Peebleshire/Lanarkshire).
