• Notes

  http://www.electricscotland.com/history/kilmarnock/part2c18.htm When the troublous times of the Revolution were over a hill was laid before Parliament to rescind all fines and forfeitures that had occurred after the year 1665. The bill after much opposition was passed, and the castle and the lands of Cessnock were restored to the family. Sir George Campbell of Cessnock, the sharer of much of the persecution directed against his father, came into possession in March, 1691, but having no male issue with the property devolved upon Sir Alexander Hume, Earl of Marchmont, who married his daughter Margaret. In turn he was succeeded by his son Hugh, who alienated the estate and confined his landed property to Berkshire. Since that time Cessnock has been in the possession of several individuals.
