' Seven Centuries of Farming '
Thomas Howie
Thomas Howie represents what is probably the longest succession of tenant farmers in Scotland. His father is the forty-second lineal descendant of the original Howie to live at Lochgoin Farm, near Fenwick, Ayrshire.
The Howies originally came from
Central Europe, having migrated owing to the persecution of the Albigenses about the middle of the twelfth century. The eldest of three brothers settled in Ayrshire about 1178. The most prominent member of the family was John Howie (1735-1793), author of the famous book ' The Scots Worthies', in which he described the sufferings of the Covenanters.
Lochgoin was pillaged twelve times during the' killing times ', but the occupants returned when Scotland was quieter, and the family has remained there ever since.
