CCLI.--_To the_ LADY DUNGUEICH.

[LADY DUNGEUCH, or DUNGUEICH, was sister to _Marion M'Naught_, for her own name was _Sarah M'Naught_, and she is mentioned in the Registers as "second heir to her father, _John M'Naught of Kilquhannady_" [or Kilquhanatie (Letter V.)], "on 31st March 1646, in the three merk lands of Dumgeuich, in Lanarkshire." She married Samuel Lockhart, merchant burgess in Edinburgh.

Near the Bridge of Deach, two miles from Carsphairn, not far from Earlston, there is the poor ruin of an old _Dundeuch_ castle on the roadside, mentioned in the life of John Semple. But that is not the same place, though resembling it in sound. The _Gordons_ of Dengeuch (a branch of the Lochinvar family) were no doubt connected.]
