Background
History
Robert Chambers wrote of the Ae area in 1826, describing it as a moor with a glen (known as Glenae), whose inhabitants were "long famed for broils, battles, and feats of activity". Chambers wrote that most men in the area were employed in farming and transporting goods on horseback between the village and Glasgow, as well as the cities of Carlisle and Manchester. These "lads of Ae" had a reputation that preceded them, being famous for "cudgel-playing [and] boxing" at every fair and wedding the area held. The village of Ae is one of the youngest villages in Britain, having been founded in 1947 by the Forestry Commission.
