D.S. Buchanan of Knockshinnoch

(photos too)

Knockshinnoch was acquired by D. Snodgrass Buchanan Esquire soon after James Logan's death and some time before 1794, for he is listed as one of the major landowner sin the parish by the Rev. James Young in his statistical account of the parish, compiled in 1793. Armstrong's 1775 Map of Ayrshire depicts a house at Knockshinnoch, the Logan's home rather than a two-storey tower. The Knockshinnoch 1794 date-stone may mark some new buildingwork carried out by the new tenant on what is now Knockshinnoch farm house. The inverted V is unlikely to be aheraldic symbol (Buchanan clan has a black lion rampant), but is possibly a mason's mark. Perhaps it stood over thedoor of a small entry hall at the front of the house which has since been replaced with a more recent front porch.

In Ayrshire; a descriptive picture of the County of Ayr, with relative notes on interesting local subjects, chiefly derived during a recent personal tour

1874 Author: Douglas, William Scott, 1867-1915

 

Among the older places of interest in Irvine parish may be men-

tioned Lawthorn Mount, Stane Castle, and Bourtreehill : the latter

was long the seat of a branch of the Hamiltons, and through inter-

marriage, afterwards became the property of the Eglinton family.

There is a good race-course on the Bogside flats a sandy plain

north-west of the town. A little farther north are the Longford, the

Snodgrass, and the Bartonholme Collieries, formerly the property of

the Fullerton family, and now belonging to that of Eglinton. In 1833,

a calamitous event occurred which had the effect of suspending all

operations in these mines for a period of twenty years, ruining

their owners, and causing distress among the local mining operatives.

On the 20th June of that year these very extensive workings, which

in some parts pass under the bed of the river Garnock, were suddenly

flooded through a leak occurring in the channel of the stream. For

the particulars of the disaster we refer the reader to' our foot-note,

quoted from a narrative given in the History of Fossil Fuel, 1835.*

 

* The surface of the river at a particular spot was observed to be ruffled in con-

sequence of a chink having been formed in the channel, through which the water

made its way to the pits beneath. Directly on this being observed, the whole of the

workmen were summoned from the pits, and Mr. Dodd, the manager of the works,

directed the men to place a coal-lighter laden with clay, straw, whins, &c., over the

cavity, with a view to stop the leak. All their efforts, however, proved unavailing

for the water continued to pour into the mines without obstruction. This produced

comparatively little agitation on the surface of the river till the following afternoon,

when a large space broke down, and the whole body of the stream made its way

into the pits, leaving the bed of the river quite dry for nearly a mile on either side

of the aperture, where previously had been a depth of fully six feet. At this time

the fishes in the channel were seen leaping in all directions ; but on the flowing of

the sea-tide, the depth of water between the chasm and the sea increased to about

nine feet, and then the scene of desolation became awful. ' Three men who were in

a boat near the spot had a very narrow escape from being sucked into the vortex; for

no sooner had they leaped towards the shore than the boat was drawn down the

chasm with fearful rapidity. The whole workings of the pits, which extended

many miles, were soon completely filled ; after which the river gradually assumed

its natural placidity, and the water settled at its ordinary level. At this time the

pressure in the pits became so great, that the confined air which had been forced,

back into the high workings burst through the surface of the earth in a thousand

places, and many acres of ground were seen all at once bubbling up like the boiling

of a cauldron. In some places, rents and cavities were made, measuring four or five

feet in diameter, and from these issued a roaring sound like the escape of steam

from an overcharged boiler. During five hours at this period immense quantities

of sand and water were thrown up into the air like fountain-showers ; and in course

of a short time the miners' villages of Bai'tonholme, Longford, Suodgrass, and

Nethermains we re laid under water.

The Garnock and the Kilwinning mining disaster of 1833

 

On June 20 1833 the surface of the Garnock was seen to be ruffled and it was discovered that a section of the river bed had collapsed into mineworkings beneath. The river was now flowing into miles of mineworkings of the Snodgrass, Bartonholm and Longford collieries. Attempts were made to block the breach with clay, whin, straw, etc to no avail. The miners had been safely brought to the surface and were able to witness the sight of the river standing dry for nearly a mile downstream, with fish jumping about in all directions. The tide brought in sufficient water to complete the flooding of the workings and the river level returned to normal. The weight of the floodwater was so great that the compressed air broke through the ground in many places and many acres of ground were observed to bubble up like a pan of boiling water. In some places rents and cavities appeared measuring four or five feet in diameter, and from these came a roaring sound described as being like steam escaping from a safety valve. For about five hours great volumes of water and sand were thrown up into the air like fountains and the mining villages of Bartonholm, Snodgrass, Longford and Nethermains were flooded.

Archibald William, the enterprising 13th Earl of Eglinton purchased all the lands concerned in 1852 and through the simple expedient of cutting a short canal at Bogend, across the loop of the river involved, he bypassed the breach and once the river course had been drained and sealed off he was able to have the flooded mineworkings pumped out. The breach lay on the sea side of the loop close to Bogend on the Snodgrass Holm side.[26] The Earl leased the mines to Bairds of Gartsherrie and the "Eglinton Iron Works" were born.[27]
