In 1358 Walter de Maule made a grant of the lands and barony of Carnegie
(derived from the Gaelic ‘cathair an eige’ – ‘fort
at the gap’) lying in the parish of Carmylie, to John de Balinhard.
The origin of the de Balinhards are uncertain, save that their lands
were near Arbroath. Nisbet suggests that the de Balinhards were related
to the Ramsays. but there is no direct evidence of this.
