G.W.S. Barrow, _The Anglo-Norman Era in Scottish History_ (Oxford, 1980), p. 31: "As a consequence of Malcolm IV's subjugation of Galloway in 1160, Hugh de Morville the younger, son of Hugh de Morville the elder who died, as constable of the king of Scots and founder of Dryburgh Abbey, in 1162, was put in possession of Borgue, between Kirkcudbright and Gatehouse of Fleet, but evidently abandoned this estate after the anti-foreign revolt of Uhtred and Gilbert of Galloway in 1174, when, as Roger of Howden tells us, the Gallovidians slew or expelled the officials placed over them by the Scottish Crown, killed many Frenchmen and Englishmen, and destroyed those castles--no doubt of the motte and bailey type--which the incomers had had time to erect in that stubbornly separatist province."
