Old Photograph Terregles Scotland
Old photograph of cottages in Terregles, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The name Terregles means Kirk land. The parish contains the beautiful ruin of Lincluden Abbey, and Terregles House, once the seat of William Maxwell, last Earl of Nithsdale. William, born 1676, died 1744, was a Catholic nobleman, who took part in the Jacobite Rising of 1715. He was the eldest son of Robert, fourth Earl of Nithsdale, and Lady Lucie Douglas, daughter of William, eleventh earl of Angus and first Marquess of Douglas. The early death of his father ensured that he was raised by his mother, the Dowager Countess, who educated him to be a faithful and conventionally devout Roman Catholic and a partisan of the Stuart cause.
