The Omen of the White Swan

The most famous “curse” or omen associated with the Kirkpatrick family of Closeburn is the appearance of a white swan on the castle loch. One notable version of the story involves a young Kirkpatrick who, upon seeing a swan, allegedly told his father he would soon be sorrowful; the young man died suddenly that same night.
