GLENCROSS, or GLENCORSE.

[Was a parish before the Reformation, but was held with Dalkeith and Lasswade 15 74-80, and with Lasswade 1585, 1586. In 1588 it was held with Penicuik, and from 1589 downwards with Lasswade, to which it was united by Act of Parliament before Jan. 1611. It was proposed to unite the parish to Penicuik, 10th June 1612. In 1615 the Presbytery was approached with the view to a separate minister being appointed. This seems to have led to the appointment of a colleague in Lasswade in 1616, who probably had a special charge of Glencorse. Hence the statement that the erection of the parish took place in 1616, though it is certain no minister was appointed till 1636.]
