My Truth...A Mist in Time


 
Wilbrighton Hall was a manor held by Eleanora Douglas Bagot and left in trust to her youngest son, Sir Archibald Douglas Regent of Scotland
Cruggleton Castle in Galloway was a stronghold of Archibald the Grim, youngest son of James Lord Douglas; a painting of the ruins by Peggy Connolly
 
Hermitage Castle was held by William the first Earl of Douglas
Westerkirk mains today; once the sole manor retained by Hugh Lord Douglas for his sustenance when he resigned the lordship in 1342 in favor of his nephew William
The 14th century castle at Otterburn was held by a long time Douglas foe, Sir Robert de Umfraville; the battle fought at the Otter Burn nearby was made famous when James the second Earl of Douglas won the field though dead
 
Bewcastle was once a Roman Fort in the north of Cumbria; always included in the Scottish raids of the 14th century only the church and the castle ruins remain today in the location of the former medieval village
The Douglas armorial bearings at Sweatheart Abbey; added during the restoration of Archibald Douglas Lord of Galloway
 
Chateau Gaillard in Les Andelys, France became their temporary home exile for Douglas sons John, William and their cousin, a very young Archibald later called The Grim; staying in the household of King David II after the great defeat at Halidon Hill in 1333
Pilgrims coming to Whithorn by the sea would stop first at Saint Ninian's Chapel; believed to be a site of a 12th century place of worship, it was restored in the early 1300's; standing on the shoreline in medieval times it was often said that one could see five kingdomes: England, Scotland, Mann, Ireland...and Heaven.
