Lord Alemoor
Lord Alemoor, whose town house was in Niddry’s
Wynd, was resident at Hawkhill, where he died in
1776 ; and five years before that period the village
was the*scene of great festal rejoicings, when
Patrick Macdowal of Freugh, fifth Earl of Dumfries,
was married to ” Miss Peggy Crawford, daughter of
Ronald Crawford, Esq., of Restalrig.”
