8 THE JOHNESTOUNS' SERVICES TO THE CROWN march into Scotland. "The houses of the gentlemen are small towers with thick walls which even fire will not destroy. As for the common people, they dwell in mere huts, and, if the English choose to burn them, a few trees from the wood is all that is required to rebuild them." The murder of Douglas was the more impolitic as his brother had commanded the army which defeated 6000 Englishmen under Earl Percy and Sir John Pennyton in Oct. 1448. His colleagues were " Sir John Wallace, the Lord of Johnstoun, Lord Somerville's son, Steuart of Castlemilk, the Sheriff of Ayr, with other sundry gentles of the Westland. Their men were called 4000." So far the chronicler of Auchinleck ; but Holinshed also mentions Maxwell. The battle was fought at Lochmabenstane, in Graitney, but Murray, who claimed both Comlongan and Graitney, is not mentioned. It was obvious that so important a post as Graitney could not be left unguarded or in doubtful hands, and five years afterwards Gilbert de Johnstoun de Gretno signs his name to a Maxwell retour at Dumfries, showing that one of Sir Adam de Johnstoun's relatives was in Graitney Tower. The Johnstouns had opposed the Welsh (or Galloway) men, the fiercest detachment of the enemy—a special service to the county where Galloway men were notorious for their barbarity. The next time that the English with Douglas's followers entered Scotland they avoided Graitney and came by Langholm, where they were defeated by the Maxwells, Johnstouns, Scotts, and Carliles in 1455. According to the Auchinleck chronicler the Lord of Johnstoun's two sons took the royal Castle of Lochmaben from the two sons of Carruthers of Mouswald, and they kept it for the King; and as Mouswald's Tower at Lochwood and one of Douglas's forts at Lochous came to Johnstoun at this time, it was probably in acknowledgment of these services. But the chief part of the Douglas and March estate was given by the King to his second son, Alexander, Duke of Albany, a child of three, who was made Lord of Annandale and Galloway. Before he was seven his father was killed by the bursting of a gun, and twenty-four years later he recalled Douglas from his long exile in England to assist him in driving his brother, James III., from the throne. Henry VII. sent an army to assist the wild crew which Albany had recruited in Galloway, but they were defeated at Lochmaben and on the Kirtle by Maxwell, Johnstoun, Murray of Cockpool, Crichton of Sanquhar, Carruthers of Holmains, and Charteris of Amisfield in 1484, and Albany's lands appropri- ated to the Crown and redistributed among the loyal chiefs. The Crown had no power on the Borders except through the chiefs, and the recipients had to secure the confiscated lands as they best could, opposed by the armed dependents of the late owners, and as often by neighbours, who thought they had a prior claim. There were no maps, and the kings of Scotland were certainly not acquainted with the details of the estates they gave away. The Carliles had a grant " from Wamfray to Greistna grene inclusive," from William the Lion ; and the Murray grant of 1320, of Comlongan, Ruvell, and Rampatrick (Gretna, Dornock, etc.), overlapped the Carlile boundaries. The Corries succeeded the Carliles, and the Barony of Corrie, confiscated for
