Wreathes Dumfrieshire

[Ruskie]

I found this snippet about Wreath's Tower:
It's thought that it was built sometime during the 16th century, and is said to have belonged to the Scottish Regent, James Douglas, 4th Earl of Morton. James Douglas was one of four regents who oversaw Scotland during the early years of James VI's rule. He was famous for introducing the Maiden to Scotland...a Scottish version of the Guillotine. Ironically, he was executed using the maiden in 1581.
I do not know if the information is accurate.

Hi Kathleen,
Thanks for the clarification on this.

I do not think that if William is of the Wreathes down there he is mine. However if there were to be a Wreathes or name that is similar up near Moffat/Kirkpatrick Juxta in the 17th Century then I think it could be mine.
