Roughwood once Ruchwood〔(Blaeu's Map ) Retrieved : 2012-05-04〕 is a farm, originally a small estate, possessing at one time a small tower castle. Situated outside the town of Beith in North Ayrshire, Scotland, the lands lay within the old Lordship of Giffen. == The history of Roughwood ==
The name 'Ruch' in Scot's relates to ground that is "difficult to traverse; broken, uneven; covered with tussocky vegetation or the like".〔(Dictionary of the Scots Language. ) Retrieved : 2012-05-04.〕 The lands consisted of 160 acres in Beith parish and 85 in Dalry parish. No improvements had been made on these lands, mainly composed of moss and clay, since 1770 and they were in a very poor state, with no roads, farm-houses ruinous, and few enclosures when acquired by the Patricks.〔Paterson, Page 115〕
