Cauliston is the home of first McCalls in Upper Vale
of the Nith. The precise date or manner of this acquistion has not been ascertained; but we have seen it stated that their
earliest possession of the Mccall Family by our Chieftain in the county of Dumfries, was the land of Colliston ,anciently
Cauliston, in the parish of Dunscore(before 1370). As early as the middle of the fifteenth century the McCall(MacCawils or
McCaulls) Family is mentioned in connection with the lands of Grennan or the "MacCaulis Messingers lands" of the ancient barony
of Tybaris, near to Drumlanrig. Black finds Robert McCall (M'Kawele) at Carnsalloch near Dumfries in 1370-1380.

King Arthur "McCall"? In Discover magazine in January
1999, a story of a stone found at Tintagel by Chris Morris of University of Glasgow, which had a latin inscription. Arthur"
Artognou" father of a descendent of Coll (Caul) It is almost certain that young Arthur met Druid Ronald MacCallius,
while attending the school for Kings on Isle of Mann in 400's. Later Arthur would name his spear,Ronald. All Scottish,Welsh
and Irish Kings had to attend this school til 1417. Those who didn't soon died mysteriously. Camelot would last until
a great weather change in 535 AD, which prevented crops for many years and caused many kingdoms to fail. (Many McCalls moved
to Inverness to escape)Arthur is thought to be buried in Whithorn,Scotland

Colonel James McCall of Long Cane The "Patriot", James
McCall did all the fighting portrayed by Mel Gibson. His family came from Ireland and first settled in Pa. ,then moved to
New River in 1746. In 1754 they moved to Carolina Piedmont, where James McCall married his cousin Elizabeth McCall and moved
to Calhoun's Settlement on Long Cane. At the beginning of our Revolutionary War, a number of Long Cane residents were massacred.
James McCall's Militia was created and they ultimately were instrumental in driving the British from Carolina. History books
have not been kind to Colonel James McCall, because they never gave quarter. It was his mounted militia that attacked Tarleton's
Dragoons flank at Cowpens and crushed the army and chased Tarleton Back to Charlotte and retreat to Yorktown. Col James would
die of smallpox after this battle, likely from British biological warfare. Col James McCall's Militia still rides today at
all the reenactments.

In
the hills above Sanquhar is Auchentaggart Moor and a farm ,now owned by the Duke of Buccleuch, named Auchentaggart or "Priest
Fields" McCalls have lived on this farm for hundreds of years and John and Janet Stewart McCall were there in 1700. Nearby
or crannogs or lake dwellings and a druid circle on the hill of Knockenheir. On a ridge nearby there are a number of small
tumuli, about the size of ordinary graves, which may be graves of ancient McCalls? In the winter of 1872-73, a gold lunala
was found be John Wilson, who was plowman for T.B. Stewart. When John Wilson was dying, the doctor,JJ Underwood, noticed the
yellow metal "collar" on the mantle. The doctor obtained the collar and gave it to the Duke, who now has it displayed at the
Royal Museum in Edinburgh. The collar is estimated to be 2000-2500 BC and from Ireland. Design appears to be Rhineland Beaker.
Egyptian Pharoahs wore a similar collar. Was this a collar worn by ancient McCalls?
