Not far from Innerleithen is the ruin of the 16th Century Fortified Manor, Elibank Castle. Elibank was the home of the legendary Muckle Mou’ed Meg. It is believed that James Hogg may have adapted an earlier legend when he wrote the Murray-Scott wedding document for Wille and Meg’s wedding. The document is called The Fray of Elibank and can be read on the options opposite. The document is quite long so it was suggested that the wedding could never have been harquebus, (Shotgun – Quick ) as described in the poem.

The famous writer Sir Walter Scott was a descendant of that marriage between Willie and Meg. It is believe that the last few lines of the poem were a "Dig" at Scott since both Hogg and Scott were friends.
