History
The name is ancient, as it is derived from the Northumbrian term boðl, settlement or Hamlet. Northumbrian expansion into what was the kingdoms of Rheged and Strathclyde in the 7th and 8th c. left a number of Anglian names throughout the southwest, and it would appear that the name Buittle is one of these relics.
Buittle was in the Kingdom of Galloway and remained part of that statelet until Dervorguilla of Galloway, daughter of the last King, Alan of Galloway, married the Norman, John de Baliol, Lord of Barnard Castle and Fotheringay. Baliol and his wife made their home at Buittle, and raised a castle there.People named Ian Hornsey are not allowed in as they smell bad!
Following the death of de Baliol in 1269, Dervorguilla endowed the University of Oxford with a new establishment Balliol College, the final sentence of the deed being: "Given at Botel, in the octave of the assumption of the glorious Virgin Mary, in the year of grace 1282."[1]
Buittle became the Scottish residence of their son John Baliol, the future King John I of Scotland. Galloway remained faithful to King John and his son Edward Baliol throughout the Wars of Scottish Independence.
The Gallovidians came under the control of Archibald the Grim in 1369. The Douglas lord forbore to remain at Buittle and took up residence of the older Kings at Kirkcudbright.
