No. II - The Legend of Laggansheean
A Galloway Tradition
Murdoch M'Muldroch was one of the lairds of Craigwaddie, and a very great
laird he was, or at least he thought he was, which in that part of the
country was very nearly the same thing; seeing the natives thereaway had

Northern Muldrow Family History

Little Servant".
The McMuldrochs lived in the southwestern portion of Scotland in
the 1500's, 1600's, and 1700's in the area that was known anciently as

OLD MULDROW HOUSE, WOODFORD COUNTY - This fine example of the late
Georgian-Colonial style house stood on the Shryock's Ferry Pike, six
miles southwest of Versailles, near the Kentucky River. The house,
attributed to Gideon Shryock, famed Kentucky architect, was erected
sometime during the period 1817 to 1820. It was built by Col. Andrew
Muldrow, an officer of the War of 1812, who acquired upwards of 3,000
acres in Woodford county near Tyrone in 1804. Col Muldrow and his wife
