[edit] Questioning the stub
This piece of history doesn't make sense. It does match up with everything I found in some quick web searches, but the dates don't make sense. The Drum Tower was a part of the defenses of Aberdeen, and would have been given to an experienced soldier. By 1323, Robert the Bruce had been fighting for his kingdom fairly constantly since 1306. This would make William only 8 or 9 yeaers old when the wars started. The Grant, as shown on the Castle Drum website, was for "years of faithful service". Were there two William Irvine's back then? Scots history isn't my area, but I needed the stub for disambiguation, so I took a shot at it. If you can find better info, please fix it. Thanks, Lou I 16:38, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
