Black Morrow
Black Morrow, also known as Black Murray, is the name given to a bandit whom according to tradition was killed by a MacLellan near Kirkcudbright in Galloway, Scotland in a wood of that name just outside the present burgh boundary.〔OS〕 There are several different versions of the story, in which the slain bandit is variously described as a Gypsy, a Moor〔(The Crest of the Lord Kirkcudbright )〕 or more commonly, an Irishman.〔 http://www.araltas.com/features/clelland/〕 〔http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mymcclellandfamily/descendants_of_sir_william_m.htm〕 〔The history of Galloway: from the earliest period to the present time, by William Mackenzie〕 The stories may be explanations for the Moor's head that appears on the crest of the Arms of Lord Kirkcudbright, and in consequence the modern crest badge used by Clan MacLellan. The blazon for which is ''a naked arm supporting on the point of a sword, a moor's head''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mac Lellan )〕
==Story==
According to one tradition he and his followers occupied Clan MacLellan lands. He was killed by Sir William Mclellan when discovered in a drunken sleep, allowing the MacLellans to regain control of their land. Another version states that a £50 reward was offered for his capture or death and that MacLellan bought the land with the reward.〔David Macritchie, ''Scottish Gypsies Under the Stewarts'', Kessinger Publishing, 2003 reprint, p.24〕 In an elaborate version of the story MacLellan deliberately replaced spring-water in a well with spirits in order to get Black Morrow drunk. The location of the spring in woodland is now known as Black Morrow Wood.〔(Kirkudbright )〕〔''The Death of Black Morrow'' in''(Tales of Galloway )'' by Alan Temperley, London 1979〕 Another version of the story states that King James offered the barony of Bomby as a reward for the "''capture or death of the fierce rover, Black Morrow, who came from Ireland and is terrorising the lands of Kirkcudbright''". MacLellan is said to have gathered his followers and murdered Black Morrow and carried his head to the King. The King had forgotten his promise, and MacLellan bade him "Think On", which is now the motto of the Clan MacLellan.
