Croy Cunningham Steading
This buildings at this site are now a number of separate homes. The photograph was taken from the West Highland Way. See Image for a later picture.
The first-edition OS map of c.1860 shows buildings, labelled "Croy Cunningham", occupying this site. However, the name also applied to the surrounding area; this part of the Croy lands was, in the sixteenth century, in the possession of a certain Alexander Cunninghame (hence the name; there was also a Croy Leckie and a Croy Buchanan).
His daughter married one of the Cunninghames of Drumquhassle; their son Edward got into financial difficulties in about 1668, and "Croy Cunninghame was apprized by Walter Buchanan of the Moss and John Buchanan, younger of Balfunning" [for the subsequent history of the area, see J.G.Smith's "Strathendrick and its Inhabitants from Early Times" (1896), from which the quote was taken].
[Approximate locations of places mentioned above: Drumquhassle – Image; The Moss (a colloquial name for Middle Ledlewan) – Image; Balfunning – Image The Moss has the distinction of being the birthplace of the scholar and historian George Buchanan, as noted on the Pont/Blaeu map of the Lennox (where, beside "The Moss", is written "G. Buchanani patria"); the map also shows the above-mentioned Ledlewan, as "Ladlewens".]
