The following may be of interest.
   Reign of James 11 [1436-1460]
   Patrick McLellan of Bombie captured & beheaded by 8th Earl of
   Douglas 1452[this was a land grab by the Earl who terrorised
   all the smaller surrounding lairds who would not toe his line]
   The gypsies landed from Ireland shortly thereafter. James 11
   issued a proclamation offering the lands of Bombie to anyone
   who would bring him the leader of this band, dead or alive,
   Blackmorrow[blackamoor?]. This proclamation incited the true
   heir of Bombie, William McL. nephew of the tutor of Bombie[P.McL]
   to devise a plan to regain his lands.This plan succeded & young
   W.McL.[a youth of 16 or17] carried the head of B. to the king in
   the East & was reinstated in his lands.

   Only those parts in brackets have been inserted by me.The rest
