- (Research):In 1860, it is recorded:
The occupiers make use some[times] of the distinctions of Burnbrae House & Burnbrae Farm but these are not more than distinctive titles of their own, which are unnecessary in this case. "Burnbrae" is the property of Mr. McAllister Douglas.
A small establishment for dyeing Yarn at which about 30 persons are employed. Some little printing of the Yarn is done here also, but not generally, the trade he[re is] for yarn dyeing. The Tenant is not desirous of having Printing mentioned in the description of the place. It is the property of Mr McAll[ister] Douglas. The Name has not been written to the works as it may be [now].
