References to 'older brother' and ' brothers' but maybe only Thomas. He was in Penninghamme Parish in 1711 and was offered the position of church elder so he must have returned.
Interesting. I made a video about Lag Tower near Dunscore as well and the graveyard where Cruel Lag is buried at Old Dunscore Kirk. If you are a Grierson then Dr.Grierson on Thornhill was highly respected and set up a renowned museum.

Just visited the site. Thanks for the history. Any detail on the castle
Yes. I made a video about it.
Margaret is one of my ancestors. It's interesting to know more about what happened but also sad.
Later generations more than made up for it.
