She died of a broken heart....

"Dwine" - Scots: to wither away, to decline...

Here walks the ghost of Jean Douglas, referred to by Sir Walter Scott as "the Maid of Neidpath", the youngest daughter of William Douglas, Earl of March.

Forbidden to marry the son of the laird of Tushielaw, who was considered below her station, she dwined while her lover was sent away. When he returned she was so wasted that he did not recognise her, causing her to die of a broken heart.

She walks the ramparts dressed in a long brown dress with a white collar. Poor Jean!
