The Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Hunt* SO far as records can be traced, it would appear that foxhunting was established in Scotland as far back as 1763, when hounds were hunting over a portion of the Linlithgow and Stirlingshire territory, so that must be regarded as the origin of the chase on this side of the Tweed. Be that as it may, it was only eight years later, or in 1771, that a pack of hounds was formed in the West, so that East country enthusiasts could not claim much in the matter of priority. " The Roberton Hunt or the Glasgow Hounds " was the title of the pack formed in 1771, and the prime movers in the concern were a Mr. J. Orr, Mr. R. Dunmore, Mr. John Baird, and Captain Roberton. The minutes of the first meeting held on 8th April of the same year go to show that much consideration was displayed regarding the Hunt uniform, which was anything if not eccentric according to present modern ideas. There were just over a score of members on the list, but at the opening meet of the hounds, which were simply a scratch lot, only half a dozen turned out, and the sport was not of much account. From the diary of the late Mr. Orr, of Barrowfield, it would appear that the quarry was only a secondary consideration, for after hunting and killing a fox on Hamilton Moor, the pack had a good run after a hare. The first record of a meeting of this Hunt held at Bothwell Bridge on 8th April, 1771, is taken from an old book : — -" It was agreed as follows by John Orr, Esq., Barrowfield, on the one part, and John Baird and Robert Dunmore, Esq. (as taking burden on them for the Glasgow Hunt), on the other part, that they shall have a united Hunt which shall be called by the name of ' The Roberton Hunt,' and which shall have two meetings at this place annually. The first of these to be some time in October or November
