William Douglas

 

 

 

Son of Sir James Douglas of Pinzearie, he inherited lands, formerly part of the collegiate of Lincluden, at Crossmichael.

James was convicted of serious crimes, and had his hand cut off before being hanged, in Edinburgh.

 

His lands were forfeited by the crown and subsequently they were granted to Sir John Murray and Sir Robert Gordon of Lochinvar, who bought much of the land sold to Sir William Douglas of Drumlanrig.
