Laputa Row - Riccarton
Laputa Row is situated on the West side of the Ayr-Kilmarnock road not far from Inchgotrick Farm. I have an interst in the Wilson family who used to live at "Peace & Plenty" colliers road between Laputa and Riccarton. Jean Wilson married Joseph Caldwell who was also a coalminer from Campbell Street Riccarton. They later lived at Inchgotrick Mains - now known as "Wee Inchgotrick" near Treesbanks House. Later still the family moved into "Lemonade" manufacture and my GGrandfather Joseph owned Riverbank Works in Greenholm Street Kilmarnock when he died in 1917. The earlier history of the Caldwell family was in coalmining from the St Quivox Parish in the mid 1700's and later Galston (large numbers) and Riccarton. Other branches of the family settled in Kilmaurs and Dreghorn (large numbers) and Lugar. As far as I have been able to deduce our family is the only Caldwell family that have been associated with coalmining - other Caldwell's have been farmers or weavers. My earliest known ancestors are Allan Caldwell and Janet Guthrie of St Quivox Parish last known to be living at Old Rome in Dundonald Parish.
