• Notes

  "At the end of the Briggate in the early seventeenth century stood the great house of John Lockhart of Boghall and his wife Marion Cunningham, comprising two tenements made into one with yard and stables, and extending from High Street to the river. Both tenements are mentioned in the Obit Book and the protocol book of Gavin Ross, the one next to the Briggate as early as 1485 when it belonged to Katherine Johnson. After her death in 1525 it was purchased by Alexander Lockhart, great grandfather of John Lockhart of Boghall and Bar, and it remained in the family until the 1640s […] The Lockharts were prosperous merchants involved in the administration of the burgh and the acquisition of land."
