The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner

It appears from tradition, as well as some parish registers still extant, that the lands of Dalcastle (or Dalchastel, as it is often spelled) were possessed by a family of the name of Colwan, about one hundred and fifty years ago, and for at least a century previous to that period.

根据传统以及一些仍然存在的教区登记册，Dalcastle（或Dalchastel，如常拼写）的土地约一百五十年前由一个名为Colwan的家族拥有，且至少一个世纪以前也是如此。

This George was a rich man, or supposed to be so, and was married, when considerably advanced in life, to the sole heiress and reputed daughter of a Baillie Orde, of Glasgow.
