Thread Name: Peggy Gordon: where is Ingo?
Subject: RE: Peggy Gordon: where is Ingo?
Ingo/e was a hilltop mediaeval village, involved in the reiving culture, and is now a small farming community, populated years ago by the Shaftoe family and the Dixons.
Both were in the train of the Fenwicks.

Fenwick Tower is a mile or so across the fields and the mines were there, not at Ingoe.

When Fenwick lost his lands (and his head), the Dixons got lease of the tower and mines. One of their number later moved to Glasgow and became a prominent ironmaster in a dynasty that lasted till the 1960s.
