These are some of the families mentioned from The Upper Ward of
Lanarkshire, mentioned in the collected Tales and Legends of the Upper
Ward of Lanarkshire, Scotland, published in Biggar, Scotland by D.
Lockhart. Probably previously published in a newspaper in Biggar,
Scotland, before being published in 1860 as a book.

Margory Weir, a tale of James V -- Popular superstitions -- William
Dawson, the Covenanter -- Hunting lodge of James V -- The marriage of
Wallace -- Death of young Hasileig -- The murder of Marion -- Mary
Dickson, a tale of Douglas -- De Vere, of Craig-Lockhart Castle --
William Douglas, of Covington Castle -- Sir Symon Lockhart -- The
Knights of the Thummle -- The blood-stained altar -- Forrest, the rebel
trooper -- Ada De Vere, a legend of Stonebyres.

The record gives no author, but rather D. Lockhart as publisher, in Biggar.

Is the book in someone's library or a book seller's library somewhere?
Would anyone who has read any of these tales tell us what they are about.

I have ancestors names among the families mentioned in the Tales.
