	James McAdam and the Loss of Waterhead
		According to her 'History of the Waterhead McAdams and the McAdams of Craigengillan' (1854), the shame was that 'All the gentility, the interest and everything that pertained to birth and breeding remained with the impoverished part of the Family - and immense wealth and coarse vice on the side of the newly risen people.' 2
		However John Loudon McAdam wrote in 1832: 'The house you enquire for was Glaisnoch near Cumnock; it was my father' s property, but my Grandfather Cochrane hired it and lived in it when my mother Susannah was born.' 15 Susannah McAdam sold the furniture of the house of Glaisnock to Stevenson for £48 6s.
		McAdam' s letters are unusual: in a conversational style he discusses his motives and intentions, and comments upon other matters such as the failure of the Douglas and Heron bank and the proper management of sheep on moorland such as his and the Waterhead lands in Carsphairn.
