I realise this post has been sometime ago but I recently did some research on the name Gillespie for a friend, they finished up in Ayrshire but I traced the line back to a couple of areas one of which was Stirlingshire, so I may have some earlier information. I have posted what I found mainly to consolidate the information already posted.
