Carnock, an estate, with a mansion, on the E border of St Ninians parish, Stirlingshire, 5½ miles SE of Stirling, and 1 mile NNW of Airth station. An old round tower, Bruce's Castle, on it, is remarkable only for its name. The owner, heir and namesake of Sir Michael Shaw-Stewart of Ardgowan, was born in 1854, and holds property in the parish of a yearly value of £1670. Kernach or Carnock figures in the legend of St Kentigern as the place whence, laying the dead body of the old man Fergus in a new wain drawn by two untamed bulls, he was guided by these to Cathures or Glasgow.
