MacLellan's Castle, standing in the heart of Kirkcudbright in Dumfries & Galloway. It was built in 1569 after the Reformation brought about the abandonment of the Convent of Greyfriars, which had stood on the site it occupies since 1449. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kir

Here's a very niche question:

Seeking a #Local with knowledge of #History / #Genealogy of the #Kirkcudbright area, which I believe was formerly known as #Kirkcudbrightshire

Particularly, I am interested in the prevalence of the name #Cavet / #Cavett (or alternate spellings) in the area during the late 17thC. I am trying to decide whether a hunch based upon limited data warrants full (and time-consuming) research. If anyone cares to chat, I'd much appreciate it.
