    Thank you for the book link . I had  read it in that form , just hadn't posted it . The reason I  devided the .pdf up into 4.95 MB sections is a different .ning site I had intended to upload them to - has a 5 MB limit whereas here we have 7 MB limit . But hey , good looking out .

    80 Drysdale  men recorded in 1541 Weapon show in Annandale . Transcript was held at one time by Sir James Douglas of Drumlanrig. I have written to NRS to hopefully find an original of this. I am not holding my breath. 

    Encyclopedia Britannica

    WAPENSHAW (M.E. for “weapon-show”), a periodical muster or review of troops formerly held in every district in Scotland, the object having been to satisfy the military chiefs that the arms of their retainers were in good condition.
