View through CrossRef
Herbert Eustace Maxwell came of an ancient Border family which has left its mark in the annals of Scottish History and particularly in regard to the counties of Wigtown, Kirkcud bright, and Dumfries. In these and other counties there are many Maxwells. The family is believed to have been of Norse extraction , and the first record of the name appears in the grant of certain lands on Tweedside still known as Maxwell heugh. A descendant from that stock, Eumerus (Aymer or Homer) Maxwell, became Sheriff of Dumfries and his eldest son was Sir Herbert Maxwell of Caerlaverock, the famous old Border castle situated some seven miles from Dumfries.
