This [Circumstance from]
This date - and is sufficient to warrant the entry in G. Text
Bothwell occasionally resided here, but that does not make it have an antiquity, the occasional occupation of a building by celebrated character for his own purposes has nothing whatever to do with its antiquity.
Is the house 400 years old - Has it been besieged - fortified - moated - Has it been attacked and defended? or has it been in any way connected with the wars, or reformation - or public transactions of 14th or 15th centuries OMO [Ordnance Mapping Office]
