re: Alexander McCarlie died at Dunskey Home Farm, Portpatrick in 1898.
There was a message on Wig-L re book by Sir Andrew Agnew Bart of Lochnaw. It is a descriptive guide for visitors to Wigtownshire published in 1908 and is very descriptive of the area often mentioning people associated with dates and places. Information is Surname, first name,date (if given),page, place mentioned, a guide to how much is said (Number), and some details.
..................................
Of interest to me was "Dunskey" as that was the ancient castle of my Adair ancestors.
..................................
The list below shows ORR EWING Sr CHARLES L AUGUSTA 180 PORTPATRICK 4 HOTEL.

There is another book mentioning Sir Charles Orr-Ewing and his wife, Trix-Ruthven, a noted British High Society beauty.
p.4. "Our maternal grandfather Charles Orr-Ewing, lived in a house called Dunskey, near Port Patrick. His first wife was Trix Ruthven.

Wonder if Sir Charles L. Augusta Orr-Ewing was landlord of Alexander McCarlie ?
