  General Notes:

"Kirkintilloch Town and Parish
Municipal Government

Bailies.

Under the ancient charter of William the Lion, the burgh of Kirkintilloch no doubt continued to be governed by bailies elected under its provisions. It would have been of interest could we have furnished a list of such important personages for the period since then; but owing to the carelessness or malice of a defaulting town clerk of former days, the records have been lost or destroyed. Mr. James Hutcheson, the present town clerk, has fortunately jotted down the names of a number as they occurred in deeds, and has courteously supplied us with these; also, a list of schoolmasters. The names of councillors and police commissioners we have collected from other sources as we best could, and we here thank Mr. David Patrick for much of it. [....]

1659. James Dirrimple, and Robert Dollor."
