The lands of Morishill,〔Dobie (1896), Page 199〕 Morrishill,〔(Thomson's Map ) Retrieved : 2013--06-25〕 Moorishill〔Dobie (1896), Page 216〕 or Moricehill〔 were part of the holdings of the Barony of Beith, Regality of Kilwinning and Bailiary of Cuninghame. The name may have derived from large shiellings or huts that were once erected at the site.〔 ==The History of the Lands of Morishill== In the early 17th century Robert Peibles held Moreisheills, Pedderland and Maynshill. In 1637 the lands of old extent of 'Morishill' were held by James and Janet Stewart.〔 By 1748 the Adam family had held the 20/- Land of old extent of Morishill for several generations, acquiring it through the marriage of Henry Adam with Margaret Stewart, daughter of John Stewart of Morishill.〔Dobie (1896), Page 67〕 Robert Shedden of Marshalland purchased the property from William Adam upon his return from Virginia where he had prospered as a merchant.〔 He was born on 5 October 1709 as the second son on John Shedden of Marshalland.〔 Robert also purchased the Longcroft, Hillhead, the Shortback of the hill and other lands at Townhead of Broadstone.〔Dobie (1896), Page 200〕 William Adam was rather too fond of drink and as a result he failed to manage the lands of Morishill and was advised to sell. Robert Shedden in 1748 purchased the property and this gave rise to this short ditty〔Dobie (1996), Page 69〕 -
James Dobie was of the opinion that the name 'Morishill' was derived via the old name 'Moreishiels' from the large shielings or temporary summer dwellings for shepherds erected on the site.〔
