Mackenzie’s History of the Macleods, p. 431, says it was Anna Maria who married John Wilson. He does not mention her sister Isabella at all. Burke’s Landed Gentry of 1846 mentions Isabella but not Elizabeth.

This is probably the second man shot when crouching against the wall mentioned by Andrews

The stone-throwing did not take place in the outer yard or Market Square where these two warders were, but later in the inner yard.

This is disingenuous. He says nothing about the forcible breaking open of the gate.

52

This was James Greenlaw.

53

This is contrary to the general evidence, and contrary to his subsequent admission.
