You really should try to see Caerlaverock Castle near Dumfries or visit the web site about it. Also, there is a Maxwell Town across the River Nith from Dumfries. Also, Sir Walter Scot had Maxwells in his lineage.His home is Abbotsford south of Edinburgh . The home of Annie Laurie near Dumfries is called Maxwelton (for the braes nearby) and I am pretty sure a Maxwell married a Laurie at some point. Pollock House, a beautiful estate near Glasgow has Maxwell family connections.Kirkconnell house near New Abbey is an ancient Maxwell home (although it may have recently been sold).Happy hunting...Suzanne
