Hi Stoop,
I do know that the word "loaning" means the pathway the cows would take on their way down the fields to the milking byre.
What a lovely name-Greenbrae loaning!
Meadow Bank, where my mother lived, was part of the farm and the other half of the house was the byre, the Carricks used to live there. I think there were twin boys, Ronald was one.

Hi Greenbrae folks,
My great aunts the Glendinnings lived at the bottom of the loaning and we spent all our holidays  as children there and loved it.  I used to go through the park to Noblehill cafe which had the best ice lollies in the shape of animals.  My mother always told me not to go near the old man's shelter!  I remember Swan's farm- didn't they have a race horse called Black Jack? 
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who remembers the Glendinnings.

Hi Fiona
I have John Hyslop born c1730 in Durisdeer married to Agnes Ker. Their son Andrew married Isabella Reid. I don't have much more on this John.
Thanks for the offer of photos. We are off to Penpont and Keir tomorrow for a search-again!! I live in Fife.
I am unsure how to PM. This is a new site for me. I have spent a fortune on Scotland's People website.
regards,
Glenda

John Hyslop's brother Edward was my great grandmother Fora Hyslop's grandfather. my mother was born in Penpont.
Honeyhole is an isolated cottage on a farm called Auchenbainzie. It lies between Marr Burn Road and Scaur Water Road, north east of Penpont.
My grandmother used to say that if you stood at the gate of Penpont graveyard and threw a stone it would hit one of my relations! Plenty of Hyslops lived in Penpont area.
