| has gloss | eng: Gillemachoi was a serf quitclaimed by King William I of Scotland to Jocelin, Bishop of Glasgow. His name means "lad" or "servant" of "St Mungo". In a charter issued at Selkirk at some point between 1175 and 1190, King William acknowledges the full ownership of "Gillemachoi de Conglud" and all his relatives and dependents to the "church of St Kentigern of Glasgow". It is not clear why Jocelin sought confirmation of ownership, since the bishopric had possessed the land of "Conglud", that is, Kinclaith (modern Glasgow Green) since the reign of King Máel Coluim IV. |
