In 1941, the land passed to William, Earl of Douglas, and later on to the Boswells of Auchinleck. The 17th century saw Chalmers of Gadgirth and Reid of Barskimming holding parts of the barony of Trabboch.

Trabboch Lochs – formed due to the flooded mineworkings of Drumdow Colliery during the late 19th century. The Loch of Trabboch was an ancient glacial loch which was later a curling pond and which is now a wetland that is important for birdlife.

The Shaw Kirk or Stair Free Church – built in 1843-4 and is now in ruins. It's located close to the Shaw Burn on the parish boundary.
