Drumbuie
Drumbuie House, built in 1702, is one of the oldest inhabited houses in the Beith area and has been the home of the Boyd family for at least three generations. Drumbuie was part of the Barony of Giffen and was feud out to various local millers and farmers in the 17th-century. Close records that Drumbuie Farm incorporates an early 18th-century two storey house, originally thatched, which was built around 1736 for Hugh Patrick, this being stated on a plaque on the 1815 addition. A James Nevin of Drumbuie was a witness to the will of Hugh Nevin of Kirkwood in 1677. Drumbuie mill was located nearby on the Dusk Water, however no obvious physical remains are extant.
