About Annabella Menzies
Egidia Stewart, who married Sir Alexander the Menzies, and had one daughter, Annabella.
from The Red & White Book of the Menzies
The village of Durrisdeer stands at the entrance of a narrow mountain pass or gorge, and commands the passage or road between Dumfriesshire and Edinburghshire. On this invasion of the English, tradition says that Sir Alexander Menzies held this stronghold against the English army, who beseiged it for three days before they captured it ; and on the English taking possession of the country, they confiscated the lands of Sir Alexander Menzies and Annabella Menzies of Redhall, Colmanston, &c, with all they had.
