Knockentiber history
Ainslie’s map of 1822 marks the site of the settlement as Bushby, although a “Knockintiber” is marked as being nearby. A small hamlet of thatched cottages was also clustered near the castle, making this a distinct settlement at that time.
Busbie Castle
Knockentiber was close to several country estates which provided employment . The old castle, a ruin since at least the 1770s was demolished in 1949 or 1952 . Busbie Estates and Collective Securities Limited owned a fair amount of land as late as the 1950s .
Knockentiber’s greenhills
At the back of Greenhill farm, on the top of a steep bank in a circular mound about 21 m in diameter and 4 m in height, may be an ancient barrow or tumulus . Some years before 1875 several stone coffins were found in a tumulus in a field, called ‘Mound field’ in 1912 on Waterpark farm .
Diehard’s raid on Greenhill Farm
Greenhill Farm was owned by Bailie Finnie, an unpopular man, due to his officious handling of the radical disturbances of the time . A hungry mob led a hungry mob to Greenhill which was known to hold considerable hoarded supplies of meal and grain . The farm domestics were taken by surprise, no difficulty was encountered in obtaining the food supplies .
