Cairn farm was combined with Glengyron by David Vallance, who accomplished this by exchanging the farm of Finlaystone, Ochiltree (which he had bought) with the Murray family occupying Cairn. When David Vallance died in 1983, part of Cairn was bought by the Boyle family, with a field going to Greenside. The rest went with Glengyron to run with Changue.
