William Douglas, 8th Earl of Douglas was master of Threave Castle, and Lord of Galloway. He was a cold, brutal warrior who was not that keen on bowing to the King. Ultimately, he came to a shocking end.

A final story from Threave for now ….
Even after the murder of William Douglas, the 8th Earl of Douglas, the Douglas Family had continued to defy James the Second, prompting him to bring the fearsome Mons Meg to Galloway to deal with them.

This infamous event from Scottish History partly inspired the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones.  
William 6th Earl of Douglas was only 14 when he became Earl.  But by the age of 16, he had been tried and executed for plotting against the King.

@dgplacenames A worthy task indeed!

[Dumfries & Galloway Libraries @DumGalLibraries]

@dgplacenames Our roving librarian did a wee video on this (although she didn't rove very far this time)
It's a great story, and so obviously the inspiration of tam o Shanter, but there could well be covenanting connections too.
