James Dick Bellshill
011.08 This is a superior Cottage in Bellshill built on what was formerly the "Black Moss" , a name used in the Titles of all the Feuars on the south side of the T. P. [Turnpike] Road but not designated in common or Parochial writing as distinctive from the village name, which it is understood to form part of. The name is therefore retained to the superior cottage as the only one - on what is the Blackmoss lands, to which it is known, or now applied.
There is a good approach, having a gate at the entrance, to the Cottage. It is the property of Mrs. Young and is occupied by her and a Tenant dividing the house or cottage in two dwellings as shown on Exam.[Examination] Trace.
