Hello Listers, I visited Burnhouse “Village” in April, 1993 searching for ancestors while visiting Scotland. This Burnhouse was located in Beith parish and situated at the crossroads of highways A736 and B706. Is this in Galston? It was really a hamlet, but it was referred to locally as Burnhouse Village probably because of earlier more productive years. My great, great grandparents and my great grandparents lived here as noted in the 1871 census, until my great grandparents emigrated to Ontario, Canada in !873. These ancestors were usually referred to as “agricultural labourers” and I have always thought that they must have lived in Burnhouse and worked on nearby farms. I found a community of about twenty buildings at most. There was a Caravan shop which was the most enterprising building in town. We met up with Robert and Mary Wilson on the same main street. He was a contractor. Mary’s mother had been a McCluskie, but we were unable to ever find any connection with out ancestors. I have joined this discussion with the hopes that I may learn more about the possibility of Burnhouse being some kind of a farm. Thank you Kay in Edinburgh. Lance McCluskie, Ontario, Canada
