Boghall Castle

[1] During 1473 Queen Margaret, wife of James III of Scotland, stayed the night at Boghall on her way to the shrine of St. Ninian in Whithorn.

He did not slight or demolish it, because Lord Fleming held Dumbarton Castle against him, and he hoped to negotiate.

[2] On 14 November 1569, Regent Moray gave soldiers commanded by James Cunningham 20 shillings in drinksilver for their labours confiscating the goods of Lord Fleming at Boghall.

[3] The farm stock taken from Boghall included 8 oxen, 13 cows, a bull, and a flock of 617 sheep.

[4] Regent Lennox sacked the houses of Cumbernauld and Boghall in September and October 1570, and expelled Lord Fleming's wife Elizabeth Ross and her three infant children from her properties.
