I found the "Did you know" detail interesting. I did not realise that Boswell was a traveller-related name. That explains the excellent Jeremy James Taylor's choice of "Bendigo Boswell" as the title of one of his splendid young persons' musicals. (The Ballad of Salomon Pavey remains my favourite, however.)
Nor did I know about the name Boswell but a rather famous holder of it did travel a lot with a certain Dr Johnson.
9th Laird of Auchinleck - Auchinleck House is now in the hands of the Landmark Trust and available for large family / group get togethers. Outbuidlings have been made into a coffee house/cafe/gift shop named after Boswell.
When I first moved up to Ayr from Surrey I rented a top floor flat in Failford House which was the home of the now late Sherriff Neil Gow, who I had previously met as an expert witness in his court and who was a staunch supporter of the Boswell Society.
