T.B.
The last Gordon of Gight, Aberdeenshire, was the mother of Byron. If I am not mistaken he was born there, he certainly attended the school in Aberdeen,
Thomas The Rymer made a prophecy about the 11th.C.? bridge over the river Don:----"Brig O Balgownie, black be yer faa, a weedows yae son on a horses yae foal."   Young Byron at the age of 12, being his mothers only child aquired a horse and rode over the brig----it still stands!.   [he blamed the horse]
He also composed a version of the well known song "We'll gang nae mair a roving" as a poem.
