Duchall Castle
Near to this river (Grief) upon the confluence of two rivulets, stand the Castle and Barony of Duchal, the seat & designation of the Barons Lyll. The first mention I find of this family is in that grant which "Baldwin de Bigres" made to the Monks of Pasly, of the church of Innerkip, where "Radulphhus de Insula" is mentioned among the witnesses thereto. Likeas "Radulphhus de Insula Dominus de Duchal" is mentioned in the Register of that Monastery, as witness to several donations to that Abby an. [in the year] 1243, in King Alexander II's time, etc. etc. Crawfurd's History.
