Richie Graham
Richie Graham of Brackenhill (born 1555) was a prominent Reiver active in late sixteenth century Great Britain.
Richie was the son of Fergus Graham of Mote in Lydysdale, Cumberland.[1] Fergus Graham of Mote acquired Brackenhill after 1561. He purchased it from Sir Thomas Dacre and settled the property on to his third son, Richard (Richie) around the 1580s.
In 1584 Richie built Brackenhill Tower.[2] He aided Lord Buccleuch in springing Kinmont Willie from Carlisle Castle in 1596.[3]
