PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 HE accompanying Cata- 
 logue has been prepared 
 under conditions which 
 have rendered it im- 
 possible to give to the 
 compilation of the work 
 that amount of deliberate 
 care and attention which the importance of the 
 Collection renders desirable. In very many 
 cases the descriptions and attributions of the 
 owners of objects have, of necessity, been 
 accepted without question and without investi- 
 gation. While the Committee therefore deem 
 it necessary to disclaim responsibility for the 
 
 5 
 
prefatory Bote 
 
 accuracy of everything which is advanced in 
 the following pages, they nevertheless submit 
 the statements generally with a considerable 
 amount of confidence. The bulk of the con- 
 tributions have been received from sources of 
 such undoubted authenticity, and their genuine- 
 ness has been otherwise so well attested, that 
 they may at once be accepted as undoubtedly 
 the illustrations of Scottish history, life, and 
 manners which they purport to be. The 
 Committee hope at an early date to issue a 
 work which will more fully and worthily 
 illustrate the extremely important Collection 
 which, by the kind co-operation of a great 
 number of lenders, it has been their good 
 fortune to bring together.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE 
 CASTLE OF GLASGOW 
 
 HE old Castle of Glasgow, for several centuries 
 the residence of the Bishops and Archbishops 
 of the see, stood, as was natural, in the 
 immediate neighbourhood of the Cathedral, 
 its site being now covered by the buildings of 
 the Royal Infirmary. It is not known when or by whom the 
 original portion of the edifice was erected, but it probably dated 
 from the latter half of the thirteenth century. By the beginning 
 of the fourteenth century the Castle had come to be recognised 
 as a place of some strength, and in 1301 was occupied by a 
 body of English men-at-arms under the command of the redoubt- 
 able Bishop Beck of Durham, whom Edward I., in the course of 
 his attempt to subdue Scotland, had nominated to the see of 
 Glasgow in room of the patriotic Bishop Wishart. The 
 Southrons did not, however, long maintain their position, as 
 Wallace made a descent upon Glasgow, and after a skirmish 
 in the High Street, known afterwards as ^ the Battle of the 
 Bell o' the Brae,' from the name of the part of the street where 
 the conflict took place, succeeded in completely defeating Beck 
 and the English, who retired to the Border.

Cfte IBigljop's Castle 
 
 At this time the Castle was in all probability nothing more 
 than a plain battlemented structure, surrounded by a moat. 
 The first important addition to it seems to have been made by 
 Bishop Cameron (1426-46), who erected at the south-west of the 
 main building a strong tower five stories in height, which is 
 frequently referred to in later days as the ' Great Tower,' or 
 ' Bishop Cameron's Tower.' A few years before the battle of 
 Flodden, Archbishop Beaton enclosed the Castle with an em- 
 battled wall fifteen feet high, having a bastion in front of the 
 angle formed by the junction of the western and south-western 
 portions of the barrier."^ 
 
 One effect of the works undertaken by Archbishop Beaton 
 was to elevate the Castle of Glasgow into a position of consider- 
 able importance in the eyes of the contending factions who 
 during the minority of James v. were striving for the control of 
 the kingdom, and make its possession an object of no small 
 moment. During Beaton's own episcopal reign the fortress was 
 twice subjected to a siege. The first of these took place in Feb- 
 ruary 1 5 15, when a number of the west-country nobles, among 
 whom were the Earls of Arran, Lennox, and Glencairn, made 
 a determined effort to oust the Duke of Albany from the 
 
 * M'Ure, the old historian of Glasgow (who wrote in 1736), also 
 ascribes to Beaton the erection as part of the wall of ' a stately tower 
 * * * fronting to the High Street,' but as Mr. George MacGregor, 
 F.S.A. Scot., in his valuable Historical Notices of the Castle of Glas- 
 gow {Glasgow Archceological Society's Transactions, 2d Ser. vol. i. 232), 
 has pointed out, this statement is inaccurate, unless the chronicler 
 meant to refer to a circular tower which stood at the north-western 
 corner in line with the present front wall of the Royal Infirmary.

 Regency. The Archbishop was Chancellor of the kingdom 
 under Albany, and, as was only natural, his castle became one 
 of the chief rallying-places of the Regent's party. John Mure 
 of Caldwell, an active partisan of the opposing faction, saw that 
 it would be greatly to the advantage of his leaders if he could 
 obtain possession of the fortress, not only from its importance 
 as a place of strength, but also from the fact that it seems to 
 have been used at the time as a depot for stores and artillery. 
 He accordingly invested it, and, though the garrison made a 
 gallant stand, succeeded in taking it. He held it for a short 
 period ; but as Albany, with a strong following, advanced upon 
 Glasgow, he was compelled to evacuate it. Before, however, 
 doing so, he pillaged the Castle, and the ravages he executed 
 upon the furniture and belongings of its unfortunate owner sub- 
 sequently formed the ground of civil proceedings by the latter 
 against him. The decree which was pronounced in the action, 
 of date 4th March 15 17, has been preserved, and affords very 
 interesting illustrations of the domestic conditions of the house- 
 hold of a Scottish prelate in the early portion of the sixteenth 
 century. Among the articles which John Mure was ordered 
 by this decree to restore to the Bishop, 'or the avale and 
 prices of thame,' may be mentioned ' xiii fedder beds, price of 
 ilk bed five merks, xviii verdour beds price of the pece xl s. 
 ^ ^ ^ ^ vi ruffs and courtings of say and four of lynning, price

 also found liable in payment to the Bishop of 200 marks ' for 
 the scaith sustenit be the said reverend fader in the destructioun 
 of his said castell and palice of Glasgow.' 
 
 The second investment of the Castle occurred in 15 17, when 
 the Earl of Lennox laid siege to it. But the defences had 
 evidently in the interval been sufficiently restored to enable 
 the garrison to make a stand until the Regent could again 
 march on Glasgow and compel the insurgents to retire. 
 
 Beaton was succeeded in the see by Archbishop Dunbar, 
 during whose episcopate the buildings of the Castle received 
 a further addition in the embattled gatehouse, with its two 
 flanking towers, erected at the south-eastern corner of the wall. 
 
 A few years before Archbishop Dunbar's tenure of the see 
 came to an end by his death in 1547, the fortress was subjected 
 to a siege of much greater severity than any of those which 
 had preceded it. This event took place in 1544, during the 
 Regency of Arran. The Earls of Lennox and Glencairn were 
 the leaders of the faction opposed to the Hamiltons, and a 
 garrison of their followers took possession of the Castle 
 14 
 
g)istorical ^feetcf) 
 
 Arran resolved to capture the place at all hazards, and 
 surrounded it with a large force. Despite great privations 
 and the severe cannonade to which they were exposed from 
 the Regent's artillery, the garrison held out for ten days, and 
 even then only surrendered on being promised quarter and a 
 safe conduct. This promise was, however, basely broken, and 
 the gallant defenders were, by Arran's orders, cruelly slain. 
 The siege of the Castle was almost immediately followed by 
 the ' Battle of the Butts,' on the adjoining Gallowmuir, between 
 the Regent's forces and those of Glencairn. 
 
 In June 1545 a meeting of the Privy Council (at which 
 Mary of Guise was present) was held in the Castle. 
 
 During the stormy period of the Reformation it was inevit- 
 able that the Castle (which a few years later was designated 
 in the Privy Council Registers ^ ane of the principall keyis of 
 the cuntrie ') should become involved in the strifes and bicker- 
 ings of the time. The then Archbishop, James Beaton (2), a 
 nephew of the Cardinal's, but a man of a much higher type, 
 in order to preserve the many valuable possessions of the 
 Cathedral from spoliation, had removed them to the com- 
 parative safety of the Castle, in which was a small garrison of 
 the Queen Regent's French troops. He had also shortly before 
 entered into an arrangement with Arran (whom he appointed 
 Bailie of the Regality of Glasgow for the period of nineteen 
 years), under which the Duke became bound not only not to 
 interfere with the Archbishop or his people, but to defend him 
 and them from all wrong and molestation, and against all 
 persons save the sovereign. In flagrant breach of this covenant 
 
 15 
 
Cbe TBi0!)op'0 Castle 
 
 Arran, in 1559, seized the Castle of Glasgow, and it was only 
 by the aid of a timely re-inforcement of French men-at-arms 
 that its owner was able to drive out the Hamiltons and regain 
 possession of his residence. Beaton now saw that it was his 
 best course to seek safety in flight, and he therefore escaped to 
 France, taking with him the records and treasures of his diocese. 
 After his departure Arran again entered into occupation of the 
 Castle, from which he was finally ejected by the Earl of Lennox. 
 
 The last occasion on which the old fortress was besieged 
 was 1570, at which time the garrison seems to have consisted 
 of a mere handful of soldiers, who were holding it on behalf 
 of Lennox, the then Governor of the kingdom. They were 
 attacked by a considerable force of the supporters of the cause 
 of the ill-starred Mary (then a prisoner at Tutbury in Stafford- 
 shire), but, offering a stout resistance, the assailants were driven 
 back and eventually compelled, by the near approach of Lennox, 
 to abandon the siege. 
 
 After this the history of the Castle possesses little interest ; 
 and though during the periods in which AngHcan Episcopacy 
 was recognised as the established religion of Scotland it be- 
 came from time to time the residence of the Archbishops, it 
 seems latterly to have been principally used as a prison. 
 During the episcopate of Archbishop Spottiswoode (1603-15), it 
 was repaired and restored to somewhat of its former condition, 
 but by 1634 it had again fallen into evil case, and is described 
 by Sir William Brereton, who travelled through Scotland in that 
 year, as 'a poor and mean place.' In 1689 Morer, in his Short 
 AccoMit of Scotland, speaks of it as 'in ruines,' except Svhat 
 i6

 was the ancient prison/ by which he evidently means Bishop 
 Cameron's Tower. The latter was used in 171 5 as a place in 
 which to incarcerate 300 Highlanders who had been concerned 
 in the rising of that year, and this is the last occasion on which 
 we hear of the old fortress figuring in the city annals. 
 
 As Glasgow began to increase in extent and importance, the 
 ruins of the Castle came to be looked on by the people who 
 were erecting houses in its neighbourhood as a useful and con- 
 venient quarry from which to convey building material. In 1720 
 a complaint as to this practice was addressed to the Barons of 
 Exchequer, apparently without result, and in 1755 the Town 
 Council, with inexcusable vandalism, expressly authorised the 
 removal from the Castle of the stones for the erection of the 
 Saracen's Head Inn, Gallowgate. In 1788, by the widening of 
 Castle Street, further ravages took place, and on the erection of 
 the Royal Infirmary in 1792 all the remaining vestiges of the 
 edifice were swept away. Thus, within little more than a cen- 
 tury, by the barbarous action of the burghal authorities, and 
 the conduct of a small section of the citizens, the old Castle 
 of Glasgow, a building of considerable architectural interest, 
 and around which many historic memories clustered, was need- 
 lessly destroyed ; and it is most appropriate that, by a happy 
 thought of Mr. Sellars, an edifice reproducing its characteristic 
 features should have been erected in the grounds of the Inter- 
 national Exhibition as the home of the Arch^ological and 
 Historical Collection. 
 
 It may be mentioned in conclusion that the only portions of the 
 stonework of the Castle which have been preserved and can be 
 
 B 17 
 
Cf)e aBi0l)op'0 Castle 
 
 identified are three sculptured stones. One of these bears the 
 arms of Archbishop Beaton, and is beheved to have formed part 
 of his enclosing wall. It is now in the porchof St. Joseph's CathoHc 
 Church, North Woodside Road, but a cast of it has been in- 
 serted by Mr. Sellars above the doorway of the Bishop's Castle. 
 The other two, which came from the Gatehouse erected by 
 Archbishop Dunbar, bear the coats armorial of that prelate 
 and James Houston, then the Sub-Dean of the Cathedral, and 
 in the upper compartment the Royal Arms of Scotland, with 
 ' I 5 ' (James v.) at the foot of the shield. These last-mentioned 
 stones were for a long time built into the wall of a tenement 
 at 22 High Street, but are now at Mochrum, Wigtownshire, the 
 seat of Sir William Dunbar, the present representative of the 
 house of which the Archbishop was a cadet. 
 
 The only remaining portion of the wood-work is a portion 
 of a carved panel of walnut, which is the property of the 
 Glasgow Archaeological Society, and which, by permission of 
 that learned body, forms part of the Bishop's Castle Collection. 
 
 There are, however, considerable remains of the Castle wall 
 beneath part of the buildings of the Infirmary; and as lately as 
 1853, in the course of some excavations, there were found traces 
 of the moat and portions of the drawbridge which spanned it.

 93 Sculptured Stone (in fragments). 'In the Museum at Perth is 
 
 preserved an object which is believed to have been near one of 
 the Roman Camps in Strathmore, and had for a long period been 
 used as a hearthstone, with the back placed uppermost, in a 
 cottage which stood near the place of its discovery. It is a slab 
 of freestone, about 4 feet in length by 20 inches in breadth, 
 much mutilated, and representing in bas-relief a military figure 
 seated on a car and drawn by a couple of what seem to be lions or 
 
 30 ^ 
 
leopards. On one arm he carries an oval shield, while the other 
 is extended in the act of lashing forward his savage team. From 
 the fragment of an inscription said to have been found along 
 with it, and which contains the word * Mercurius,' the figure in 
 question would seem to represent the Messenger of the Gods 
 subduing the fiercest animals to his will, and hastening along the 
 fields of earth, with perhaps some errand from on high. Un- 
 fortunately, however, it has been so much injured by the ravages 
 of time, that little more than the general outline can now be 
 distinguished.'

 101 The * Bachuill More,' the pastoral staff of St. Moloc, the immediate 
 follower of St. Columba, who was a zealous worker in the intro- 
 duction of the Christian Faith into Scotland in the commence- 
 ment of the 7th century. A family named Livingstone, living 
 in the Island of Lismore, which was the seat of the ancient 
 bishopric of Argyll, were hereditary custodiers of the staff, and 
 enjoyed their little freehold in virtue of the trust. Their lands, 
 however, became the property of the Duke of Argyll, and the 
 ancient symbol of feudal tenure passed into the muniment chamber 
 at Inverary. It is, in its present defaced condition, a plain curved 
 staff, 34 inches in length ; the surface presents indications of the 
 rivets by which a metal casing, probably highly enriched with 
 ornament, had been originally attached to the wood, some frag- 
 ments of copperplate still remaining.

 121 The Douglas Clephane Horn. This horn has been in the possession 
 of the Clephanes of Kirkness and Carslogie from time immemorial. 
 It is said that it was used by the inmates of one castle to summon 
 those of the other to repulse attacks. The ornamentation of it is 
 Carlovingian work of the Qth Century, in imitation of Byzantine, 
 and consists of carvings of chariot races, and combats of men and 
 animals. Figured and described in Sir Walter Scott's Border 
 Antiquities, vol. ii. p. 206.

 122 The Iron Hand of the Douglas Clephanes of Carslogie. This hand 
 is said to have been made by order of the Bruce for his faithful 
 follower De Clephane, who lost his left hand in one of the Bruce 
 battles, and was intended to enable him to hold his horse's reins 
 when riding. Figured and described by Sir Walter Scott, in his 
 Border Antiquities, vol. ii. p. 206.

 124 A Two-handed Sword, formerly preserved at Clackmannan Tower 
 as having belonged to King Robert Bruce, by whose successor, 
 David II., that stronghold, with the manor and other lands, was 
 granted, in 1359, to his kinsman, Robert de Bruys, ancestor of the 
 Bruces, Barons of Clackmannan. According to local tradition, 
 Robert Bruce had actually resided there, and certain vestiges had 
 long been regarded with veneration as associated with his history ; 
 among these was the sword. The descent of the Barons of Clack- 
 mannan may be seen in Douglas's Baronage^ p. 239. The line 
 became extinct on the death of Henry Bruce of Clackmannan in 
 1772. * His relict, Catherine Bruce,' Douglas relates, ' survived 
 till November 1 791.' At her death she bequeathed the sword 
 and a helmet, both said to have been used by Bruce at the battle 
 of Bannockburn, to the Earl of Elgin, considering his Lordship as 
 the chief of the family. They are now preserved at Lord Elgin's 
 seat, Broomhall, Fifeshire. 
 
 Lent by the Earl of Elgin. 
 
 125 The Sword which King Robert the Bruce on his deathhed gave 
 to Sir James Douglas, called the ' Good Sir James.' On one side 
 of the blade is the engraving of a heart, to which two hands point. 
 Over the one hand are the letters ' K.R.B.,' and over the other the 
 letters ' I.D.' On the other side are shown the Royal Arms of 
 Scotland. The following legend is on the two sides : - 
 
 'so MONV GVID AS OF THE DOUGLAS BEINE,

 129 The Brooch of Lorne, said to have been borne by Robert the 
 Bruce, and which fastened his plaid at the battle of Dal-Righ (the 
 King's Field) with the Lord of Lorne, Allaster or Alexander 
 M*Dougall, on the borders of Argyllshire, August 1306, and 
 which he had to leave along with his plaid in the dying grasp of 
 the M*Keochs. 
 
 The brooch was long preserved at Dunolly Castle, the seat of 
 Lords of Lorne, but disappeared in the 17th Century, when the 
 castle was burned by the M 'Neils, assisted by the Campbells of Bar- 
 Gleann. It was believed in the country to have been carried off 
 by the latter, while the former was either seeking or ransacking 
 the charter chest. The Bar-Gleann family, however, overawed by 
 the neighbourhood of their powerful enemies, never displayed the 
 brooch or boasted of its possession ; but having lately fallen into 
 decay, they are reported to have sold it no longer ago than the 
 year 1822. Soon after it is said to have been observed by General 
 Campbell, of Lochnell, in the window of a jeweller in London. 
 The General, a near neighbour of M*Dougall, recognising, if not 
 the Brooch of Lorne, which he never saw, a very curious and 
 ancient Highland relic, entered the shop and inquired its history, 
 when he was told it was the lost Brooch of Lorne, and, with very 
 generous feeling, immediately purchased the valuable relic and 
 presented it to its hereditary owner. Another account says this 
 relic continued in the M*Dougall family till the year 1674, when 
 the castle of Goalen, in the island of Kerrera, having been taken, 
 sacked, and burnt by General Leslie's troops, Campbell of Inveraw 
 
 39 
 
C!)0 aBi0|)op*0 Ca0tle 
 
 possessed himself of the Brooch of Lorne ; in that family it re- 
 mained until it passed into the hands of a cadet of that house who, 
 fully aware of its value, appointed it by testament to be sold, and 
 the proceeds to be divided among his younger children. It was 
 accordingly sent to Messrs. Rundell and Bridge, London, to be 
 exposed for sale at the price of ;^iooo. It is said that the late 
 George iv., then Prince Regent, offered ;/^5oo for it; this sum 
 was refused, and the brooch withdrawn. Ultimately, in 1825, 
 General Campbell of Lochnell, being anxious to bestow some 
 mark of grateful regard on his esteemed friend and neighbour, 
 M'Dougall, purchased the brooch, and presented it to him through 
 his chief, the Duke of Argyll, at a social meeting of the land- 
 holders of the county. 
 
 The said Brooch of Lorne w^as borne by Captain M^Dougall, 
 R.N., of Lorne, in full Highland garb, who commanded and 
 steered the royal barge in which the Queen and Prince Albert 
 sailed up Loch Tay during the time they were the guests of the 
 Marquis of Breadalbane at Taymouth Castle, on their visit to 
 Scotland in 1842. Lord Breadalbane presented the wearer to the 
 Queen, mentioning his profession, and that he bore the celebrated 
 Brooch of Lorne which belonged to Robert the Bruce. The 
 Queen took the brooch in her hand and examined it minutely, 
 asking about the centre stone, etc. 
 
 The following description of the brooch, along with part of the 
 foregoing, is from Sir Thomas Dick Lauder's Royal Progress in 
 Scotland in 1842 : — 
 
 ' It is of silver, of very curious form and ancient workmanship, 
 and consists of a circular plate about four inches in diameter, with 
 a tongue like that of a common buckle on the under side. The 
 margin of the upper side has a rim rising from it, with hollows cut 
 in the edge at certain distances, like the embrasures in an embattled 
 wall. From the circle within this rim eight very delicately-wrought 
 tapering cones start up at regular intervals to the height of an inch 
 40 
 
and a quarter, each having a large pearl in its apex. Concentric 
 with these there is an inner circle, also ornamented with carved 
 work, within which there is a raised circular case occupying the 
 whole disc of the brooch, and slightly overtopping the cones. The 
 circle exterior to this case projects into eight semi-cylinders, 
 relieving it from all appearance of heaviness. The upper part is 
 also very elegantly carved, and the centre is filled by a very large 
 unpolished gem. Nobody has yet been able to determine the 
 nature of this central stone. The present proprietor had it 
 examined by Messrs. Rundell and Bridge of London, but they could 
 form no judgment regarding it without its being polished, which, 
 of course, he had too much antiquarian feeling to allow. '

 130 Calthrop, from Field of Bannockburn. One of King Robert

 the field of Bannockburn.

 138 The Black Chanter or Feadan Dul>h of Clan Chattan. 
 
 Note.—Oi the many singular traditions regarding the Chanter, one is that its 
 original fell from Heaven during the memorable Clan battle fought 
 between the Macphersons and the Davidsons in presence of King Robert 
 III,, his Queen, and Nobles, on the North Inch of Perth in 1396, and that, 
 being made of crystal, it was broken by the fall, and the existing one made 
 in facsimile. Another tradition is to the effect that this is the genuine 
 original, and that the cracks were occasioned by its violent contact with 
 the ground. The Chanter is highly prized, and has a peculiar interest for 
 the Cluny family, the prosperity of the house of Cluny being supposed to 
 be dependent on its possession. Vide the Article, ' The Last of the Old 
 Highland Chiefs,' in Good Words for July 1885 ; also notes to Fair Maid 
 of Perth.

 when repairs were going on, and was rescued by a local resident,

 probably the only portrait in existence known to have been in one 
 of the Scottish residences of the later Stuart sovereigns.

 175 Silver Gilt Ciborium and Cover, gifted by Queen Mary to the 
 Cathedral of St. John, Perth. The hexagonal base is ornamented 
 by fruit and flowers in repousse ; the bowl is ornamented with 
 shields, strapwork, and flower ornament in repousse, satyrs in 
 arches, projecting busts and heads, and rims of engraved and 
 repousse ornament. The bell-shaped cover has also engraved and 
 repousse ornament with projecting cherubs' heads, a coiled serpent 
 forming a ring at the top. English — 1 6th Century ; height, i6{ 
 inches ; diameter at mouth, 54 inches.

 176 Citoorium and Cover, of copper gilt, and most elaborately en- 
 amelled ; one of the finest existing examples of the chainpleve 
 process, as practised by the enamellers in the 12th Century. A 
 gift of Queen Mary to Sir James Balfour of Burleigh. 
 
 Some doubt has been expressed whether the workmanship is to 
 be attributed to the school of Limoges or that of the Rhine. In 
 the details of its execution, in costume, and the general character 
 of the art, this remarkable vessel bears considerable resemblance 
 to the exquisite crozier in the Doucean Museum at Goodrich 
 Court, inscribed ' Frater Willelmus me fecit ' stated to have been 
 found in the tomb of Ragenfroi, Bishop of Chartres in 941, but 
 
 50 
 
s§ut^ @)tuart 
 
 evidently a work of a century and a half later (figured in Willemin's 
 Monumens Inedits^ torn. i. p. 20). The ciborium has been tradi- 
 tionally regarded as having belonged to Malcolm Canmore, King 
 of Scotland, 1056- 1092, and it is stated to have been presented by 
 Mary Queen of Scots to her faithful adherent, Sir James Balfour 
 of Burleigh, from whom it has descended to the present possessor 
 by the marriage of Alexander Bruce of Kennet, in 1 7 14, with Mary 
 Balfour, daughter of Robert, fourth Lord Burleigh, and ultimately 
 heiress of her brother Robert, fifth Lord. Mr. Joseph Robertson, 
 who has carefully investigated the royal inventories of the period, 
 has sought in vain for any trace of this remarkable object among 
 the possessions of the Crown. It may, however, possibly have 
 been described in the ' Inventair of the Queene Regentis mova- 
 bilis,' received by Servay de Conde, valet of chamber to the Queen 
 in 1562, under the item of enamelled objects, * Ane lawer, with a 
 cowp and cover of copper ennamaillit.' On the bowl or lower 
 moiety of this vessel, which measures about 6J inches in diameter, 
 there are six subjects from Old Testament history, introduced as 
 circular medallions, enclosed by stems or branches of foliage of 
 gilt metal, on which are inscriptions. These branches run into 
 one another, and from them spring richly-enamelled scrolls and 
 leaves, filling the spandrels. The enamelled ground of the 
 medallion is apple green, that of the other parts blue. On the 
 cover are introduced likewise, in similar medallions, six subjects 
 from the history of our Lord, corresponding with the antitypes in 
 the Old Testament series. On the Bowl—i. Abraham circum- 
 cises his son Isaac : the patriarch appears with Sarah and an 
 attendant ; over the heads are the words sarra . ISAAC .

 On the Cover. — I. The Baptism of our Lord : the water of 
 Jordan, like a mountain, rises to His breast ; the figures of Christ 
 and of the Baptist are in lilac-coloured enamel, excepting the faces, 
 which are in gilt metal. An angel stands at one side ; the dove 
 is seen above. + baptizat miles regem nova gratia legem. 
 2. Our Lord bearing the cross : in front are two figures mocking 
 Him ; three females behind ; the figure of Christ is in lilac enamel,

 the top is the name ihesvs -I- in crvce mactator perit

 seated on the sepulchre ; in front the soldiers lie prostrate ; the 
 three Marys approach one side + surgit de tvmvlo petra xpc

 the cross ; Adam and Eve and a demon appear before him,

 apostles, and on the left the Virgin Mary and the other six 
 apostles, + Qvo capvt ascendo mea membra venite seqvendo. 
 These medallions have a blue ground. On the cover is a knop, 
 like an apple, surrounded by four enamelled leaves of very elegant 
 design. Inside the cover is a half-length figure of our Lord, with 
 double cross ; the face gilt metal. The enamels occurring on this 
 remarkable example are of the following colours : — White, pale 
 blue, lapis lazuli blue, copper red, purple with yellow spots, apple 
 green, lilac used for flesh tints, blue-green, orange-red, amber- 
 yellow, and light yellow. — (From the Catalogue of iJie Exhibition

 177 Covered Tankard of Agate, with silver mountings and handle, 
 probably of Scottish workmanship, as they bear the plate-mark, an

 5 inches in height. It has sometimes been designated Queen 
 Mary's 'Caudle Cup.'

 ostrich feathers, tipped with red, appears in Mary's hand in the 
 portrait attributed to her in the Episcopal Palace at Gloucester.

 180 Mary Stuart's Hand-bell, of Silver-gilt (one of the objects of per- 
 sonal use, doubtless, which garnished the chamber of the captive 
 
 53 
 
C[)e lBiSl)op'0 Castle 
 
 Queen). It is, perhaps, the identical ' closchete^ described in the in- 
 ventories of valuable relics of former state which she was permitted 
 to retain until the termination of her life at Fotheringay. It is 
 certain that Mary was accustomed to make use of such a bell, 
 which, in accordance with the fashion of the time, accompanied 
 the ' escritoyre ' and furniture of her table. The personal devices 
 found on the bell afford no slight argument in favour of the 
 supposition that it may have been her companion throughout her 
 captivity. In the will made by Mary when suffering from sickness 
 at Sheffield in February 1577, she bequeathed to her Secretary, 
 Nau, by whose hand that document was written, the following 
 objects : — * A Nau, mon grand diamant, ma grand e escritoyre 
 d'argent aux bords dorez, et la closchete de mesme.' — (Vide 
 Labanoff, Recueil de Lettres^ tome iv. , p. 360. ) In the inventory 
 of jewels and plate taken at Chartley in August, 1586, there 
 occurs the item, ' Une clochete d'argent de sus la table de sa 
 Majeste.' — Labanoff, Recueil^ tome vii. p. 247. Again, in the 
 inventory of the jewels, plate, etc., in the custody of the servants 
 of the late Queen of Scots, taken at Fotheringay, February 20th, 
 1586-87, there are found, in the keeping of Elizabeth Curie, a 
 candlestick of silver gilt, a little silver bell, etc. The bell 
 measures about four inches in height, the handle included ; the 
 diameter at the mouth measures i\ inches. Around its waist 
 externally are engraved (i) the Royal Arms of Scotland, the shield 
 ensigned with a low arched crown, having strawberry leaves alter- 
 nately with fleur-de-Us, as on her Scottish seals ; {2) the monogram, 
 composed of the Greek letters Chi and Rho^ signifying the name 
 of our Lord, within a circle, inscribed with the words in hoc 
 VINCE 86, and at the close of the inscription a trefoil slipped ; 
 (3) on the side opposite to the last, an impresa, a vine of which a 
 moiety is leafless ; a hand issuing from clouds, and holding a 
 pruning bill, cuts off the dead branches ; on a circular band around 
 are the words, VIRESCIT . vvlnere . virtvs. (4) This device is 
 
 54 
 
a^arp Stuart 
 
 the monogram or cipher, which is likewise to be seen within the 
 hoop of Mary's signet ring, now in the British Museum. Here it 
 is ensigned with an arched crown, and enclosed within a band, 
 inscribed thus, SA . vertv . matire. This motto, which is an 
 anagram of Mary's name, occurs in the description of devices, 
 embroidered on a bed wrought by her, as stated in a letter from 
 Drummond of Hawthornden to Ben Jonson, dated July 1st, 1619 : 
 — 'I have been curious,' writes the poet, 'to find out for you the 
 impresas and emblems on a bed of state, wrought and embroidered 
 all with gold and silke by the late Quene Marie, mother to our 
 sacred Soverayne, which will embellish greatly some pages of your 
 booke, and is worthye of rememberance. The first is the loadstone 
 turning towards the pole, the words — Her Majestie's name turned 
 into an anagram — Maria Steuart, Sa Vertu Matire, which 
 is not much inferior to Veritas armata.' The bell preserved at 
 Kennet had been traditionally designated a ' mass-bell. ' It appears, 
 however, most improbable that it was destined for any sacred use. 
 There is an enigmatical device engraved within, which has been 
 supposed to show that its use was simply to summon the Queen's 
 attendants to her presence. It consists of concentric circles, with 
 lines radiating from the central point where the clapper is attached, 
 and pointing to certain letters and numerals engraved within the 
 circles. T^he letters have been read, commencing from the circle 
 nearest the rim of the bell, clam at svas — ' she calls her attend- 
 ants ' ; departing a little from the order which the circle seem to 
 indicate, and passing over the numerals. This may seem too 
 arbitrary a process to be quite satisfactory. It is possible that the 
 letters are initials, and the numerals cyphers for names or words. 
 The figures have been read 43, and they may refer to Mary's 
 coronation by Cardinal Beaton, on September 9, 1543. Another 
 conjecture would explain these figures as indicating the age of 
 Mary at the period when this device was engraved. There is no 
 event in the forty-third year of her age, from December 8, 1584, 
 
 55 
 
Clje a5isf)op'0 castle 
 
 to December 8, 1585, to which the device seems referable, nor can 
 we discover any memorable occurrence in her thirty-fourth year 
 that throws light on the obscure intention of these numerals. 
 
 It is remarkable that the number, 43, is the moiety of that 
 occurring with the inscription IN HOC VINCE in one of the devices 
 on the external surface of the bell. Both of these mysterious 
 numbers may have been intelligible only through some of the 
 secret ciphers used by Mary Stuart in her correspondence. The 
 figures 43 are possibly allusive to Mary's coronation in 1543, and 
 the figures 86, which accompany the motto around the sacred 
 monogram, may be explained by the date of her death, February 
 8, 1586, since, according to the old style, the year 1587, in which 
 it has been commonly stated that the execution of Mary occurred, 
 did not commence until March 25. It may deserve consideration, 
 in connection with the explanation thus proposed, that both the 
 imprese engraved on the bell appear to show appearances of later 
 workmanship than the arms and crowned cipher. The device, 
 therefore, with the appropriate motto, In hoc vince^ and the 
 numerals, possibly indicating a date, may have been added sub- 
 sequently to her death. — See Catalogue of the Exhibition of the 
 Archceological Institute of Great Britain ajtd Ireland^ held at 
 Edinburgh in 1856, pp. 169-173.

 182 'Memento Mori' Timepiece, owned by Mary Queen of Scots,

 ancestors, the Setoun family. The watch is in the form of a skull. 
 On the forehead is a figure of death standing between a palace and 
 a cottage ; around is this legend from Horace, * Pallida Mors 
 Equo Pulsat Pede Pauperum Tabernas Regum Que Turres.^ On 
 the hind part of the skull is a figure of time, with another legend 
 from Ovid, * Tempus Edax Rerum Tti Que Invidiosa Vetustas.'' 
 The upper part of the skull bears representations of Adam and 
 Eve in the Garden of Eden, and of the Crucifixion, each with 
 Latin legends, and between these scenes is open work, to let out 
 the sound when the watch strikes the hour upon a silver bell, 
 which fills the hollow of the skull, and receives the works within 
 it when the watch is shut.

 193 Ancient Piece of Tapestry, traditionally known as 'Queen Mary's

 tapestry mentioned in the ' Inuentaire of the Queene Regentis 
 movables,' dated September 1561, and therein described as 
 'Item ane tapestrie of the historie of Roboam contening foure 
 peces.' Having been inherited by Mary Queen of Scots from 
 her mother, Mary of Guise, the 'Queene Regent,' it is next 
 noticed in the ' Inventory of Jowellis &c. , pertaining to the 
 King and his dearest mother in 1578,' therein described as * Fyve 
 pece of the historie of King Roboam.' From an old diary it 
 appears that the screen was procured in 1 69 1, on behalf of a certain

 ' This box of carved oak, bound round with silver bands, and a

 and came into the possession of Adam, Lord Forrester, her Chan- 
 cellor. It passed through the hands of that family until it ended 
 with Harriet Forrester, married to Edward Walter, Esq., and by 
 her request it devolved to her grand-daughter Charlotte Grimston. 
 The Marguerite, which forms the principal ornament of this box, 
 was the badge adopted by Margaret, Queen of Scotland, eldest 
 daughter of Henry vii., and was frequently borne by her grand- 
 daughter Mary, Queen of Scotland, but there are few (if any) other 
 examples of the badge having been placed on a heart as it is here. 
 
 * The ornaments on this box evidently prove it to be of the time 
 of Henry viii., and if we suppose it a lover's present from James 
 IV. of Scotland to Margaret his Queen, her badge in the centre 
 of a heart may be regarded as an elegant and appropriate expres- 
 sion of his feelings. — (Signed) Samuel Meyrick.'

 Mary's attendants at her execution), was bequeathed by her to the 
 Scots College at Douai, where at that time Ehzabeth Curie's brother 
 was a Professor. At the breaking out of the Revolution in France 
 the inmates of the College were obliged to fly, and the portrait was 
 taken out of the frame, rolled up, and hidden in a chimney, which 
 was then built up. In 1811 it was taken from its hiding-place 
 and placed in the Scotch Benedictine Convent in Paris, whence, in 
 1830, it was brought to Scotland by Bishop Patison, and placed in 
 Blair's College. It is recognised as one of the very few authentic 
 portraits of Queen Mary, and it is probable that it was painted by 
 Amyas Cawood, from a drawing made during the Queen's life- 
 time, after Jane Kennedy and Elizabeth Curie had returned to 
 France.

 219 Portrait of Mary Queen of Scots, traditionally regarded as having 
 been presented after her nuptials with the Dauphin, in 1558, to 
 the Lord High Treasurer, the Earl of Cassillis, one of the Scottish 
 Commissioners sent to negotiate the marriage articles, and to 
 witness the nuptial ceremony. This portrait (it is believed) has 
 been preserved ever since that time as an heirloom in the Kennedy 
 family, at the seat of their representative, the Marquis of Ailsa, 
 Culzean Castle, Ayrshire. The painting, which is on canvas, has 
 been attributed to Zucchero.

 242 Original Contemporary Miniature of Mary Queen of Scots, on 
 copper, by Jehan de Court, depicting her in her French widow's 
 dress, at (about) the age of 21 (1563). A photograph from this 
 miniature forms the frontispiece to Fotheringhay a7id Mary Queen of 
 Scots, by Cuthbert Bede, who there states (p. 201) that it was given 
 to him in 1853 by Mr. Joseph Cecil, who had bought it in France 
 when he was making his Mary Stuart collection, a portion of which 
 was at his death purchased for the Print Room of the British 
 Museum. A replica of the miniature was in the collection at 
 Blenheim, and was sold at Christie's, August 1886, when Mr. 
 Bradley's miniature was compared with it ; both miniatures being 
 pronounced by experts to be original contemporary miniatures by 
 Jehan de Court. Five later and smaller copies (one the property 
 of the Duke of Buccleuch) were also exhibited at Peterborough, 
 1887. Another copy, by Catharine da Costa, is in the Earl of 
 Dysart's collection at Ham House, and is fully described in the

 Archbishop of St. Andrews, and deliberately took his aim as the

 338 Portrait of the Marquis of Montrose, by Jameson. The follow- 
 ing narrative is on the back of the picture : — 
 
 ' The great Marquis of Montrose, when in England in the year 
 1640, took refuge in the house of a Mr. Colquhoun, a clergyman, 
 second son of the Camstraddan family, where he remained for a con- 
 siderable time. When about to depart he thanked Mr. C. for the 
 respect and tenderness with which he had been treated, and 
 the fidelity with which he had been concealed, regretting he had 
 not something more substantial than words by which to express 
 his gratitude. Mr. C. replied, You now have it in your power to 
 repay an hundredfold any little service we have ever done you. 
 A likeness of your highness would be inestimable." That if he 
 would condescend so far, Jameson the Scotch painter was in the 
 house — a man of honour — a friend who might be trusted. The 
 Marquis agreed, and the picture now in our possession was the like- 
 ness taken. About the year 1755 my father, Robert Colquhoun, 
 Camstraddan, became possessed of the portrait, and in 1776 Lord 
 Frederick Campbell carried it to London and had it cleaned. 
 On bringing it back to Camstraddan he told my father it had been 
 greatly admired by Sir Joshua Reynolds and other judges of painting. 
 No copy was ever allowed to be taken. (So far as my memory 
 serves me) such is the account I have frequentlyheard from myfather, 
 who died 1787, aged 71. Mary Haldane Colquhoun.

 440 Alexander Peden's Sword. This sword, which belonged to Alexander 
 Peden, the famous Scotch Covenanter, first came into possession 
 of his niece, Christina Patrick. Peden died at his brother's house 
 in 1686. His brother had two daughters : one married the Laird 
 of Burnfoot, who suffered martyrdom ; the other, Christina 
 Patrick, married a M 'Crone. The Bible and sword (an Andrea 
 Ferrara) have been handed down in the M 'Crone family to the 
 present day. The hilt of the sword was broken many years ago, 
 and the present wooden handle substituted.

 449 The Turtle-Dove, under the Absence & Presence of Her Only

 the Celestiall Muses [John Fullartoun of Carletoun] . . . Edin- 
 burgh, Printed by Andrew Anderson, Printer to the Citty and 
 Colledge. Anno Dom. 1664. i2mo, pp. Lxxvi, 180. 
 
 This book has the reputation of being one of the rarest of the 
 Covenanting times, probably from the fact that the greater part 
 of it is composed in verse, though of no very elevated character. 
 It is dedicated to Jean, Viscountess of Kenmoor, Rutherford's 
 patroness and correspondent, and sister to the Marquis of Argyle, 
 and it contains, among other curious matter, an acrostic upon her 
 name, and one upon the name of the well-known Marion 
 M*Knaicht.

 Glasgow : Printed by John Bryce, and sold at his Shop, Salt- 
 market, 1773. i2mo, pp. 24. 
 
 This is the production which Thomas Carlyle took an interest 
 
 99 
 
in, on account of a tradition which had come down from his 
 grandfather that John Orr, Schoolmaster of Hoddam, was the 
 author, — which seems, however, to be very doubtful.

 451 Water-Colour Drawing, Aug. 16, 1790, of part of the village of 
 Minnihive (now Moniaive), Dumfriesshire, with the ancient cross. 
 James Renwick was born near Minnihive ; and it was to this 
 cross that the young son of John Blackadder fled, in his shirt, 
 when his father's house at Barndennoch was entered at night 
 and plundered by a party of Sir James Turner's troopers, in 
 search of Blackadder, about the end of winter 1666. ' I got to a 
 neighbouring toune, called the Brigend of Mennihyvie, where, 
 thinking to creep into some house to save my life, I found all the 
 doors shut and the people sleeping, upon which I went to the 
 cross of the toune and got up to the uppermost step of it, and there 
 I sat me down, and fell fast asleep till the morning. Between 
 five and six a door opens, and an old woman comes out ; and 
 seeing a white thing upon the cross, comes near it, and when she 
 found it was a little boy, cries out, "Jesus, save us I What art 
 thou?" With that I awaked, and answered her, "I'm Mr. 
 Blackadder's son." " O, my puir bairn, what brought thee here ? " 
 I answers, "There's a hantle of fearfull men with red coats has 
 brunt all our house, my breether and sister, and all the family." 
 " O, puir thing," says she, " come in and lye down in my warm 
 bed," which I did, and it was the sweetest bed that I ever met 
 with.' — Account of Mr. Blackadder^ s Sufferings^ by his son, cited 
 in Crichton's Memoirs of Blackadder, 132.

 532 Diamond Eing of William, last Earl of Kilmarnock, beheaded 1746. 
 * Immediately before his execution Lord Kilmarnock gifted this 
 diamond ring, along with another in emeralds, to the Reverend 
 Laurence Hill, then Minister of Kilmarnock, afterwards Minister 
 of Barony Parish, Glasgow, from 1750 till 1774. The Reverend 
 Mr. Hill had espoused the only daughter, by a second marriage, of 
 Letitia Boyd, cousin and widow of the second Earl of Kilmarnock. 
 The ring has belonged successively to the reverend gentleman's 
 descendants ever since. The emerald ring is also extant, and 
 belongs to the present Member of Parliament for Lanarkshire 
 (Sir T. E. Colebrooke, Bart.), who is connected with another 
 branch of the Reverend Mr. Hill's family.' John Buchanan, LL.D.,

 547 Portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stuart. This painting was 
 sent from France by Prince Charles himself to Sir Hugh Paterson 
 of Bannockburn House, a zealous Jacobite, for his generous hospi- 
 tality in entertaining him there, on his descent from the Highlands, 
 and again when Stirling Castle was besieged by the Highlanders. 
 It is believed to be the work of De la Tour, a French Portrait 
 Painter of note ; Prince Charles's account with George Waters, 
 junior, Banker, Paris, shows the following entry : 'Jan. 13, 1749, 
 To De la Tour for H.R.H.'s picture 1200 livres.' Sir Hugh gave 
 the picture to James M'Ewan, Surveyor of Taxes, Alloa. On his 
 death it became the property of his heir, John M'Ewan, Writer, 
 Campside House, Langside, Glasgow ; again, on his death, it 
 descended to his son, the late Thomas M'Ewan, also Writer, in 
 whose family it still remains.

 578 Punch Bowl broken by Prince Charles Edward at Kingsburgh

 NoU. — The Prince arrived at Kingsburgh House, Skye, late on the evening 
 of Sunday, 29th June 1746, accompanied by Flora Macdonald, he being 
 at the time disguised as her servant-maid. He was hospitably received 
 by Macdonald, sixth of Kingsburgh. It being late, and the Prince hav- 
 ing to proceed on his vi^anderings on the morrov^, Kingsburgh urged him 
 to retire to rest, and attempted to remove the bowl from which they had 
 been drinking. Prince Charles, ' pressing the necessity of more drink,' 
 retained hold of the bowl, and in the struggle it was broken. The pieces 
 were carefully preserved at the time, and afterwards sent to London, where 
 they were clasped together. For thus sheltering the Prince for one night 
 Kingsburgh was taken prisoner and carried to Fort Augustus, where he 
 was thrown into a dungeon. He was afterwards removed to Edinburgh 
 Castle, and kept a close prisoner there until 4th July 1747, when he was dis- 
 charged under the Act of Grace. Kingsburgh was great-great-great- 
 grandfather of the lender.

 617 Sword, used by Alex. Stewart of Duntalich, Loch Tummel, at

 killing an officer of Ligonier's regiment, took up that officer's 
 sword, and fought with it throughout the day ; at night his hand was 
 so much swollen that it could not be taken out of the iron hilt. He 
 came with it in this state across the hill to Rannoch, where his 
 own village blacksmith filed away the iron or steel ribs of the hilt 
 and relieved his hand. The engravings on each side show its 
 birthplace, and form no bad corroborative evidence of the truth 
 of the tradition, as it is known Ligonier's troop had arrived from 
 Holland a little before the battle of Culloden.

 VI. of Scotland. This gentleman claimed to have won and kept the 
 trophy at all the Courts of Europe, the contests of which it was 
 the prize being drinking bouts, at which the last person able to 
 blow the whistle was the victor. In a contest the whistle was 
 won from its original owner by Sir Robert Laurie of Maxwellton, 
 father of the famous ' Annie Laurie.' The contest at which Burns 
 was present was in 1776, and the combatants were a descendant 
 of Sir Robert Laurie's, bearing the same name, Mr. Riddel of 
 Glen Riddel, and an ancestor of the present owner, Alexander 
 Fergusson of Craigdarroch, who was declared by the poet-umpire 
 to be the victor.

 founder of the University. These escutcheons must have been 
 supplied after the New Erection of the University, and, if executed 
 at the same time as the inscription, may be not earlier than the 
 last century. The workmanship of the Mace is very good, and 
 may be of the period (1465) stated in the inscription.

 928 Sword of James Wilson, the Radical, Strathaven, borne by him at 
 the rising, 5th April 1820, for which he was executed at Glasgow, 
 30th August following. He thus refers to this sword in his narrative 
 dated * Glasgow Jail, Iron room, 29th August 1820 : — They 
 threatened to blow out my brains if I did not accompany them. 
 I said I had no arms ; when the person noticed the blade of a 
 sword which had no hilt, and was broken at the point, and which 
 I used as a bow for my stocking-frame, and they observed 
 might take it." At length, carrying this useless blade with me we 
 left my house for Glasgow. '

 933 Sir John Moore's Sword. This is the sword worn by Lieut. - 
 General Sir John Moore, K.B., when he was slain by a cannon- 
 ball at the Battle of Corunna, on the 1 6th of January 1809, after 
 his memorable retreat from Salamanca with 29,350 British, pur- 
 sued by Napoleon Buonaparte with 70,000 French. Miss Jane 
 Moore, Cadogan Place, Sloane Street, Chelsea (Sir John's sister), 
 gave the sword in a present to the late Samuel Tyler, Esq. , Castle 
 Court, Cheapside, London, and it came into the possession of his 
 son-in-law, Robert Stewart M 'Donald (of Harris), Glasgow, in 
 1866. Sir John Moore was born at Glasgow, 13th Novembe 
 
 1 761. He was son of Dr. John Moore, Physician in Glasgow, 
 author of Zelucco and other works. It is a curious fact that 
 Dr. John Moore and Tobias Smollett, two of the principal 
 novelists of last century, were both apprentices of Dr. John 
 Gordon, a Medical Practitioner in Glasgow.

 944 The Musselburgh Arrow, the most ancient prize of the Royal 
 Company of Archers. The earliest date on the medals attached to 
 it is 1603, and as no record exists of its presentation to the Royal 
 Company, it is quite possible that the prize was shot for in the i6th 
 century. It has been shot for with great regularity, and there are 
 now about 200 medals attached to it.

 Case containing Five Bows. The following notes give the History of 
 the Bows in this Case, No i being the topmost Bow : — 
 
 954 No. 1. A yew Bow, backed with ash, dated on the back 1650, which 
 belonged to Mr. Bisset of Lessendrum, in Aberdeenshire. Backed 
 Bows were first made in the end of the i6th Century by the 
 Kelsals of Manchester. 
 
 955 No. 2. This Bow was used at the Battle of Flodden, 15 13. It was 
 presented by Colonel Ferguson of Huntly Burn to Mr. Peter 
 Muir, the veteran Bow-maker of the Royal Company, and by him 
 has been donated to the Royal Company. This Bow had been 
 preserved for centuries in a country house near Flodden Field. 
 Its strength is estimated at from 80 to 90 lbs. 
 
 956 No. 3. This Bow was presented to the Royal Company by the Mar- 
 quis of Aylesford, Lord Warden of the Woodmen of Arden, on the 
 occasion of his being received into the Royal Company in the year 
 1788. It was made about the beginning of the i6th Century, and 
 was discovered in a house in Scotland in 1776. 
 
 175 
 
C!)e IBigfjop'is Castle 
 
 957 No. 4. Bow made by Grant, who, for a long period during the 
 latter part of last century, was Bow-maker to the Royal Company. 
 This Bow was the property of Mr. Wallace, Banker in Edinburgh 
 (who was admitted a member in 1776), and it is recorded that 
 Lord Aylesford offered him a price of fifty guineas for it, which 
 was refused. The Bow afterwards came into the possession of 
 Dr. Thomas Spens, who presented it to the Royal Company in 
 1840. 
 
 958 No. 5. This Bow is remarkable for the perfection of the piece of 
 yew of which it is made. It belonged to an old family in Fife, and 
 by them was given to Dr. Nathaniel Spens, whose son, Dr. Thomas 
 Spens, presented it to the Royal Company in 1840. It was pro- 
 bably made towards the end of last century.

 978 Ancient Burgh Seal of Aberdeen made in 1440. The brass seal 
 and counter seal, after having been lost from the custody of the 
 Council for upwards of ninety years, have again been placed 
 in safe keeping. It is conjectured that this seal was granted 
 to the burgh by James i. as some recompense for undertaking, 
 along with the other three burghs of Edinburgh, Perth, and 
 Dundee,^ to pay his ransom in 1424. The workmanship dis- 
 played in the seal is very curious and interesting, from its 
 preserving probably the earliest occurrence of the motto of the 
 town, 'Bon-accord.' The inscription on the back of each half

 pinquity, decisions of assizes, etc.

 980 Silver Keys of the City of Aberdeen. Very little is known 
 regarding the history of these keys, but it is believed that they 
 are of 17th Century workmanship. Although the town was at one 
 time protected by six ports, these required other keys than those 
 exhibited, which were used only for the ceremony of giving the 
 liberty of the burgh. They are still invariably presented to every 
 Lord Provost at his election, and on two occasions they have 
 been presented to Her Majesty while passing through the city.

 981 Blade of the * Maiden.' The blade of an axe, fixed in a heavy 
 block of lead, formed part of the instrument of decapitation called 
 the ' Maiden.' Although death by banging, drowning, or burning 
 was the common mode of execution in Aberdeen, yet that the 
 ' Maiden ' was employed, particularly about the close of the i6th 
 
 180 
 
TBurgljal ant 3incorporation melics 
 
 century, is evident from the fact that the place of execution still 
 bears the name of the Heading Hill. The following entry appears 
 in the Master of Kirk and Bridge Works Accounts : — * The alevint 
 day of September (1595) robert scherar was deidlie hurt by Ion 
 donaleson notar — on ye twelt instant ye said robert deid — ye said

 982 Staff and Buckle of Aberdeen Fencibles. This corps of citizen 
 soldiers, to the number of about 400, was only one of several corps 
 raised in compliance with the recommendation of Government as a 
 means of defence against the threatened invasion by the French 
 in the beginning of the century. The Lord Provost was Colonel 
 Commandant, and the dress of the corps consisted of a blue coat, 
 white facings, white vest and breeches, with black gaiters, a round 
 hat and feather. 
 
 Lent by the Corporation of Aberdeen. 
 
 983 Town's Drum of Aberdeen (17th Century). The drum or ^ sweesh ' 
 was a very important civic institution before the introduction of daily 
 newspapers. It is customary to associate the drum with military 
 matters only, but the records of the various burghs are filled with 
 references to the important part it played in the every day life of the 
 city some three centuries ago. No meeting of the Guildry or Head 
 Court of the citizens was properly constituted until the drummer 
 compeired and testified that he had intimated the meeting * thro a' 
 the raws o' the toun ' ; no funeral ceremony of importance could 
 take place till the mourners had been summoned by the drum ; and 
 one of the severer modes of punishment was that of banishment 
 from one's native burgh hy tuck of drum. The drum exhibited had 
 doubtless seen many such scenes, and others also of a more 
 exciting kind during the civil war of Charles i.'s reign.

 996 Portrait of William the Lion, from Trinity House, Aberdeen. 
 * The curious production representative of William the Lion is 
 one of the few relics of the Trinity Monastery. When and by 
 whom it was painted are matters apparently now beyond human 
 ken, and not a little of its artistic value has been lost on 
 account of a repairing which it underwent in 17 15. In that 
 year the Convener Court '^granted warrant to William Anderson, 
 present Master of Hospital, to agree with Charles Whyt, painter, 
 anent renewing King W^illiam the Lion his picture as cheap 
 as possible, always not exceeding fifty shillings sterling.'' 
 Fortunately the renewings did not go the length of any interfer- 
 ence with the face. We have it on the authority of an artist who 
 took a drawing of the work in 1821 for Lieutenant- General 
 Hatton, that the face had been left untouched. The King is 
 represented wearing a curiously formed helmet, and holding a 
 book in one hand and a rod in the other. There is a chain round 
 his waist, indicative, it is said, of penance for the part which his- 
 tory says he had in the murder of Thomas a Becket.' — Bain's 
 Guilds of Aberdeen.

 whereby Virtue gains Renown,' and surmounted by the words

 craftsmen turned out in armour to show that they were ready for

 wrote in the Basilicon Doron, ' The craftsmen think we should be 
 content with their work how bad soever it be, and if in any-

 the Blanket was presented to the Court by Queen Mary.

 1 1 18 Collection of 370 Tassie Gems, embracing 102 mottoes and senti- 
 ments, 50 Cupids, III heads, and 107 classical subjects. James 
 Tassie was born at Pollokshaws, near Glasgow, in 1735 ; and, 
 while working there in his youth as a mason, managed to study 
 art in the Glasgow Academy of Fine Art, with David Allan. He 
 afterwards spent some time in Dublin, where he made the acquaint- 
 ance of Dr. Quin, the inventor of an enamel used by Tassie for 
 casting his 'gems.' He settled in London, 1766, and rapidly 
 became famous for his cameos and intaglios in coloured pastes and 
 white enamel, and for his portraits of the celebrities of his day, 
 which he first modelled in wax, and then cast in Quin's enamel. 
 He worked for Wedgwood for some years before Flaxman, and 
 was engaged in the reproduction of the Barberini or Portland 
 Vase, from casts from a model that had been taken before it was

 brought to this country. In 1775 Tassie published his first 
 Catalogue, and in the year of his death, 179 1, his second Catalogue. 
 In his life-time he enamelled 16,000 * gems,' and the work was 
 continued by his nephew, WilHam Tassie, who raised the number 
 of * gems' to 20,000. The latter died in i860, leaving a fine col- 
 lection of the ' Tassie Gems ' to the National Gallery of Scotland, 
 and the remainder to his nephew, the Rev. W. H. Vernon. The 
 latter were sold in 1882 in consequence of the death of their owner, 
 and these gems were bought for the most part at the sale.

 1 164 Florence : Bishop Elect 1202 ; Resigned 1207 ; Died 121 2. This 
 is an interesting design. A figure of a young man seated before a 
 lectern, on which is a book ; in his left hand he holds a rod or 
 staff of office ; his right hand is a little raised, and the fore-finger 
 extended as if he was discoursing from the book before him. 
 * Sigill Floren[tii Glas]guensis Electi. 
 
 1 165 Walter, Chaplain to William the Lion, a.d. 1207- 1232. A full-

 holding the pastoral staff. * Sigill. Walteri Dei gra. Glasguensis

 u66 William de Bondlngton, a.d. 1232-1258. Counter Seal. A 
 figure of St. Kentigern in pontifical vestments. In his left hand the 
 pastoral staff, and with his right consecrating a bishop, who is 
 kneeling before him. ^ Ora Pro Nobis Beate Kentigerne.* 
 
 1167 Robert Wishart, a.d. 1271-1316. This, as well as the Counter 
 Seal following, is an exceedingly interesting and beautiful Seal, 
 both as regards the fine design and execution, and the celebrated 
 person to whom it belonged. Very fortunately it is in good 
 preservation. Under a rich Gothic canopy a full length figure of 
 a bishop in pontifical vestments, his right hand raised and his 
 left holding the pastoral staff, standing on a lion crouching. On 
 each side of the bishop is a head of a Saint in front, crowned with 
 the nimbus, perhaps meant for ihe heads of St. Kentigern and St. 
 David; below the dexter hand is a bird (raven?), and beneath 
 the sinister one, a fish with a gemmed ring in its mouth. * S. Roberti 
 Dei gratia Epi Glasguensis.* 
 
 1 168 Robert Wishart's Counter Seal. Equally rich in design, consisting 
 of three compartments. In the upper compartment or niche is 
 
 212 
 
9@iniature0, €@0DaUion0, ^eal0, etc. 
 
 a monk presenting to St. Kentigern the fish with the jewexled 
 ring in its mouth, which by his command had been caught in the 
 Clyde in support of the honour of Queen Languoreth. In the 
 middle compartment of the Seal are two niches. In the dexter a 
 figure with a sword in his right hand* In the sinister niche a 
 figure of the Queen holding a ring in her right hand. In the 
 lower part of the Seal, within a niche, is a figure of a bishop 
 kneeling at prayer, and on each side are heads of the Saints 
 similar to those in the last. The inscription on this fine Seal is 
 rather imperfect, but has evidently been ' Rex . Furit . Hec , 
 Plorat » Patet . Aurum . Dum . Sacer . Orat. ' 
 
 1 169 Robert Wishart (the same). Not so richly designed as the last, 
 but exceedingly well executed. A full-length figure of a bishop as 
 before. At the dexter side a bird on a branch of ivy, and at the 
 sinister the fish and ring. In the lower part of the Seal is a small 
 head of an animal, apparently a wolf. *S. Roberti Episcopi 
 Glasguensis. ' 
 
 1170 John Wishart, a.d. 13 18-1326. Very much defaced. It appears 
 to have been a very rich design. A figure of a bishop in a niche 
 with a canopy, and in the lower part a figure of a bishop kneeling 
 at prayer. On the dexter side is a shield charged with the arms 
 of Scotland, and on the sinister side is another, but so defaced 
 that the bearing cannot be distinguished. * Sigillum Johannis 
 Gr[a Epi] Glasguensis.' 
 
 1 171 John Lindsay, a.d. 1326- 1335. Beneath a Gothic canopy a figure 
 of a bishop, as in the last ; above the right hand appears a mullet. 
 On the dexter side is a shield, bearing ermine three bars (?). Above 
 the shield is a fish with a ring in its mouth. On the sinister side 
 is also a shield bearing an Oral Vaire, surmounted with a bend, 
 and above the shield is a bird. * S. Johis Dei gra. Epi Glasguen.

 1172 Andrew Muirhead, a.d. 1454-1473. A very pretty design of a 
 Gothic niche, with canopy and open tabernacle work at sides. A 
 figure of St. Kentigern, with the nimbus, in pontifical vestments, 
 holding in his right hand a fish with ring in its mouth. In the 
 lower part of the Seal is a shield, bearing on a bend three acorns, 
 the coat of Muirhead. * Sigillum Andree Epi Glasguensis.'

 of a chain attached to it. * Sigill Capituli Ecclesie Glesguensis. ' 
 
 1 1 74 Chapter of Glasgow, a.d. 1280. A fine Seal of a round shape, 
 representing a church with a spire rising from the centre, 
 terminating with a cross fleury. A plain cross rises from each 
 end of the roof, and above it is a crescent and star. Three pointed 
 arches form the lower part of the church. In the centre is an 
 altar, on which is the chalice, and issuing from the centre of the 
 arch is a hand pointing into it. Beneath the dexter arch is a full- 
 length figure of an aged saint, his hands raised in adoration ; 
 beneath the sinister arch also an aged figure standing before a 
 lectern. The background ornamented with foliage. ' S. Capituli 
 Ecclesie Glasguensis.' 
 
 1 175 Counter Seal of the Last, a.d. 1280. Of equally fine work. A 
 demi-figure of St. Kentigern, mitred and robed, his right hand raised 
 bestowing the benediction, his left holding the pastoral staff; the 
 bust rests on the top of three arches, with spires at the end, and 
 beneath the arches are three figures kneeling at prayer. Within 
 an inner circle is inscribed * Sanctus Kentegus,' and on the 
 outer circle 'Kentigerne Tuos Benedic Pater Alme M inistros.'

 1 1 79 Common Seal of Renfrew, 14th Century. A galley on the waters, 
 with sails furled ; a cross crosslet fixed at the prow and stern. On 
 the dexter side is a mullet of ten points, and a shield bearing 
 Scotland. On the sinister side is a crescent and shield bearing 
 the fess cheque of the Stuarts. The whole is rather rudely

 Century, in the possession of Allan Belt, Esq., Abbots-Haugh, 
 Falkirk. 
 
 1 180 Common Seal of Rutherglen, 1493. This, as well as the Counter 
 Seal, seems to have been a very fine Seal, but unfortunately is in bad 
 preservation. The design is a galley, with two men, one engaged 
 in rowing, the other furling the sails. The inscription seems to 
 be * Sigillum Communetatis De Rugleninte.'

 side of the cross are three soldiers armed with bows and arrows, the 
 foremost one discharging his arrow towards three soldiers on the 
 sinister side of the cross, who are armed with spears, the foremost 
 one in the act of charging. * Hie armis bruti Scoti stant hie cruce 
 tuti* (*Here stand the rude Scots, protected here by arms, here 
 by the cross '). 
 
 1 184 Counter Seal of the last. The front of a castle ; at each side are 
 branches of foliage, and scattered round the top and sides are five 
 stars and two roses. * Continet hoc in se nemus et castrum 
 Strivelinse,' rhyming hexameter,— * This holds within itself the 
 wood and castle of Stirling.' The original matrix of above Seal is 
 at Stirling.

 galley on the waters, sails furled. * Sigillum commone civitatis 
 Kirkualensis. ' Matrix in the office of Town-Clerk of Kirkwall. 
 
 1 186 Cokete Seals, Dunfermline. This and the Counter Seal followingare 
 fine and interesting examples, in most excellent preservation. The 
 design of this one is an elegant full-length figure of Saint Margaret, 
 with an open crown of three points. In her right hand she holds 
 a sceptre, and a book in her left. At the dexter side is a shield 
 bearing the arms of Scotland, and at the sinister side is another 
 charged with the cross fleury between five martlets, being the 
 paternal arms of the Queen. The background is elegantly orna- 
 mented with foliage, * S. Cokete, Regalitatis De Dunfermylyn.'

 land. Foliage surrounds the shield. * Robertus Dei Gratia Rex 
 Scotomm.' The original brass matrices of both these fine Seals 
 are in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, and were probably 
 executed about 13 12 or 1320.

 1 1 88 Series of Plaster Casts in Basso-relievo, modelled from the car- 
 toons of Raphael by John Henning about 1820. 
 
 Henning, the son of a Paisley joiner, was born in 177 1, and 
 trained to follow the employment of his father. His strong desire 
 to follow an artistic career led him to study first in Glasgow and 
 later in Edinburgh, where he modelled many busts and medallions 
 in plaster. When forty years of age he settled in London, and 
 there devoted many years to producing miniature reproductions of 
 the Elgin marbles and other examples of Greek sculpture. He 
 modelled these figures in low relief with a spirit and minute 
 accuracy which cannot be excelled.

 1205 A Gaelic Psalm-Book or Book of Power. Extract from letter of 
 Rev. C. Watson, F. C, Langholm, to George Thomson, Esq., 1863: 
 * I told you that I possessed ihe Book of Power wherewith a wizard 
 or "wise man " in the Island of Lewis held in subjection a large 
 district. It was taken from him by the factor in the year 1851, and 
 given by the factor (John Mackenzie, now of Wishaw Distillery) 
 to me. I said you should have it for your museum, so I now send 
 it as a contribution to the history of superstition in the 19th 
 Century. The black and the white yarn are both essential to its 
 efficacy. The key was placed between certain pages and the yarn 
 tightly wrapped round the whole. It then had power. The diffi- 
 culty of our using it consists in not knowing where to place the key V

 1240 Highland Bagpipe. Celtic ornamentation. The stock into 
 which the two drones are inserted is apparently formed from a 
 forked branch, the fork giving the drones the proper spread for the 
 shoulder. In the centre of the stock are the letters * R. M'D.,' 
 and below these letters there is a galley, beneath which is written 
 in Roman numerals the date m : cccc : ix. The letters above the 
 galley, and those in the date, are of the Gothic type commonly 
 used in the 15th Century. On the reverse of the stock is a triplet 
 of foliageous scroll-work. The lower joint of one of the drones is 
 not original, and is of modern construction. The upper joints of 
 the drones terminate in cup-shaped heads, ornamented with a 
 band of interlaced work. The chanter is similarly ornamented, 
 and has engraved nails round its bell.

 would in all probability be relieved by a diamond buckle to fasten, 
 as was the fashion in olden times, the straps which were made to 
 overlap each other across the instep. (Engraved in Old-fashioned

 tions made by his son John, the loth Earl. Other changes have 
 been made since then, and the outworks which existed in their 
 day, and which were of great interest, have been removed. 
 
 13 1 8 Traquair, near Innerleithen. The oldest portion of this building 
 probably dates from the 1 5th Century. Considerable alterations 
 were made in 1642, and the low wings enclosing the courtyard 
 added about 1695. Since then, no changes appear to have been 
 made. The property was held by a branch of the Royal Stuarts 
 from 1478 till the death of Lady Louisa Stuart in 1875. 
 
 1 3 19 LetMngton, now Lennoxlove, near Haddington. The estate of 
 Lethington belonged to the Maitlands from 1345. The older 
 portion of this Castle was probably built not long after that date. 
 The tower is said to be 80 feet high, with walls 10 to 13 feet 
 thick. From an inscription over the doorway, we learn that 
 various improvements were made upon it by John Maitland, Earl 
 of Lauderdale, in 1626. 
 
 1320 Dalziel. The oldest part of this house was the Tower of the 
 Dalziels, and was probably built by them in the 15th Century. 
 After the sale of the estate by the Earl of Carnwath to James 
 Hamilton of Boggs, in 1647, a large addition was made in the style 
 of architecture then prevailing. The house has again been recently 
 altered and enlarged, and is now the mansion of Lord Hamilton. 
 
 1 32 1 Aldie Castle, near Rumbling Bridge, dates from the latter part 
 of the 1 6th Century. It was the seat of the Mercers of Aldie 
 and Meikleour. 
 
 1322 Rowallan Castle, Ayrshire. A picturesque building of various 
 dates occupying a very ancient site. The oldest part of the house 
 
C^e lBi0f)op's Cattle 
 
 was built by Mungo Muir early in the 1 6th Century. Large addi- 
 tions were made by his son, John Muir, who completed the front 
 with its characteristic towers and staircase in 1562. This does not 
 seem to have been altered since his time, though additions were 
 made to the house, and the gateway built by Sir William Muir, in 
 1 66 1. The old Castle of Rowallan was the birthplace of Elizabeth 
 Muir, wife of King Robert 11. 
 
 1323 Carnock House, Stirlingshire, was originally built by Sir Robert 
 Drummond, in 1548. Considerable alterations were made by Sir 
 Thomas Nicolson, in 1634, shortly after he acquired the property. 
 Minor alterations have also been made since then. The property 
 passed by descent to the Shaws of Greenock, and is now possessed 
 by H. Shaw Stewart, Esq. 
 
 1324 Fordell Castle, near Inverkeithing. It is dated on the panel over 
 the doorway 1567, and on one of the skew stones 1580. The 
 Castle was built by the Henderson family, in whose possession 
 it still remains. 
 
 1325 Killoclian, near Girvan. The property of Sir Reginald Cathcart. 
 The house was built in 1586 by his ancestors, as related on the 
 tablet still above the door — ' This wark was begun I of March 1586 
 by Jhone Cathcart of Carltoun and Ellen Wallace his spouse. The 
 name of the Lord is ane Strang tour and the righteous in their 
 troubles runs unto it and findeth refuge. — Proverbs 18, verse 10.' 
 
 1326 Earlshall, near Leuchars, Fifeshire. From a panel over the fire- 
 place in the upper hall, we learn that this house was begun by Sir 
 William Bruce in 1546, and finished by his grandson, Sir William 
 Bruce, in 1607. There is much that is interesting in the old 
 panelled wood-work and painted ceilings, but the place is now 
 unfortunately fast falling into ruin. 
 
 1327 Kellie Castle, Fifeshire, was the residence of the Oliphants. It is 
 of various dates, but its present appearance is chiefly due to the 
 
 238 
 
art0, atmg, ^tm, jFurniture, etc. 
 
 additions made by the 4th and 5th Lords Oliphant, between 1573 and 
 1606. Shortly after the latter date it was sold to Thomas Erskine, 
 w^ho became ist Earl of Kellie. The house had nearly fallen into 
 ruin, when in 1878 it was leased by Professor Lorimer of Edin- 
 burgh, and by him put into a state of thorough repair. 
 
 1328 Newark Castle, Port-Glasgow. The principal part of this house 
 was built by Patrick Maxwell, 1 597-9, as we learn from dates and 
 monograms on its walls. The square Keep, however, which 
 forms part of the Castle, is believed to be about 100 years older. 
 
 1329 AmislQleld, near Dumfries. The estate of which this was the 
 mansion was held by the Charteris family from a very early date. 
 On the side of the tower above the entrance are two panels, with 
 the arms of the family and the date 1600, which marks the age of 
 the building. 
 
 1330 Gogar House, near Edinburgh, built in 1625 by John Cowper, 
 whose father, Adam Cowper, acquired the estate of Gogar by 
 purchase from Logan of Restalrig in 1601. 
 
 1331 Auchans House, near Dundonald, Ayrshire, bears the date 1644, 
 and appears to have been built by Sir William Cochrane, afterwards 
 Earl of Dundonald. The property passed into the hands of the 
 Earls of Eglinton. This house was long the residence of 
 Susanna Countess of Eglinton, so well known in her day, to 
 whom Allan Ramsay dedicated his Gentle Shepherd, 
 
 1332 Gilbertfield, near Cambuslang. An interesting old house now 
 rapidly going to decay ; it bears the date 1607. For a time it was 
 the residence of the Scottish poet, Lieutenant William Hamilton. 
 
 1333 Model in Bronze of tlie Parish Cliurcli of Haddington. The 
 
 ' Paroche Kirk,' as it was called five hundred years ago, the 
 
 239 
 
* Church of St. Mary of Hadintune,' as it was named in a 
 charter granted by David i. in 1173. It measures 210 feet from 
 east to west, and no feet across the transept from north to south. 
 It is surmounted in the centre by a square tower rising to the 
 height of 90 feet. The site and structure of the tower, with open 
 windows towards the top, has given verisimilitude to a supposition 
 that this is the Lamp of Lothian, the Lucerna Laudoniae of 
 Fordoun and Major; but with conflicting plausibility it has been 
 conjectured that this was the so-called Friar's Kirk, connected with 
 a monastery of the Friars Minores of Haddington, founded in 1258 
 in the neighbourhood. It was the church in which John Knox 
 worshipped in early life, his birthplace in Gifford Gate — exactly 
 opposite the eastern window, but on the opposite side of the river 
 — being not a bowshot off. Lent by John M. Brov^n.

 1335 Ancient Oak Cabinet. In the Illustrated News of the World of 
 29th May 1858, there appeared an engraving of this cabinet, with 
 an article from the pen of Mr. William Bennet, formerly editor of 
 The Glasgow Free Press, from which the following particulars 
 have been taken: — The cabinet is of remarkable origin and in- 
 terest, and more than 50 years ago came by purchase into the 
 possession of the late Joseph Train, Esq., of Lochvale Cottage, 
 Castle-Douglas, Galloway, so long the intimate antiquarian friend 
 and correspondent of Sir Walter Scott. 
 
 It owes its origin to one of the Gordons of Earlston, a branch 
 of the noble family of Kenmure and Lochinvar, which, through- 
 out the whole of its successions, was always forward in the defence 
 both of civil and religious liberty; they suffered unspeakable 
 hardships and seemed often on the verge of extinction from this 
 cause. 
 240 
 
arts, arms;, Oress, jrurniture, etc. 
 
 At length the heroic head of the family was seized and shut up a 
 prisoner in Blackness Castle, on the Firth of Forth, for i8 years. 
 It was during this long period that he amused his less serious 
 hours in carving the whole woodwork of this cabinet, which thus 
 illustrated, not only his own turn for and ingenuity in such employ- 
 ment, but shows also the state of so very interesting an art in 
 Scotland at the period in question. There being no doubt but that, 
 both in design and finish, he wrought from patterns which, if not 
 present in his confinement, were at least familiar to his memory. 
 
 This precious heirloom descended in the family possession until 
 at length it came into the hands of the late Sir Alexander 
 Gordon of Greenlaw, near Castle-Douglas, another branch of the 
 Kenmure and Lochinvar family, at whose death it was brought to 
 public sale, and bought by Mr. Train. 
 
 It is made of black oak of the hardest kind, and some of the 
 carvings are very elaborate and beautiful, entirely hollowed out of 
 the solid wood. On the top is the date, ' 1614,' in raised figures ; 
 and beside the coats of arms are the letters 'J. G. ' and ' M. C.,' 
 beheved to mean 'John Gordon,' head of the house of Earlston 
 mentioned, and his equally heroic spouse, ' Margaret Campbell,' 
 descended from the illustrious family of Argyll. 
 
 Mr. William Macmath supplies the following note regarding 
 this cabinet : — * The arms and initials are obviously those of John 
 Gordon of Airds and Earlston and his second wife, Mary Chalmers, 
 daughter of James Chalmers of Gadgirth, Ayrshire, whom he mar- 
 ried in 1585. A rough tracing of the arms of Chalmers of Gad- 
 girth (or Gaitgirth) from Nisbet's Heraldry is subjoined, and 
 will prove the identity of this lady. The surmise in the article 
 on the cabinet which appeared in the Illustrated News of the 
 Worlds May 29, 1858, as to the name of the lady is thus not 
 borne out by investigation. Other surmises in that article are 
 also groundless. '

1336 The Bed of Black Douglas. Whilst the Douglases remained 
 Lords of Galloway in the 14th and 15th Centuries, Threave Castle 
 (near Castle-Douglas) was the place of their pride and the engine 
 
 . of their tyranny. 
 
 After the castle submitted to the arms of James li., some of the 
 movables became the property of William de Gordon of Lochinvar, 
 the first of that noble family in Galloway, and among them was an 
 antique Bedstead or Buistie of the Black Earl, who was assassi- 
 nated in the Castle of Stirling. In course of time this curious piece 
 of furniture passed from Lochinvar to the Castle of Kenmure, and 
 from thence to Greenlaw, the seat of a collateral branch of that 
 family on the Dee. In the last century it became the property of 
 a minister of the Parish of Kelton, afterwards of a blacksmith at 
 Kelton Mill, from whose daughter it was purchased by Mr. William 
 Johnstone of Kirkcudbright, who made a present of it to Joseph 
 Train. 
 
 It is said that while the relic cannot be traced back to a longer 
 period than about 400 years, still its rude workmanship is indica- 
 tive of a higher antiquity. The figures are as rudely executed as 
 the effigies on the coin of Alexander III., but the framework 
 carving by which they are surrounded, and the ornamented panels 
 below, are done in better taste and with more ingenuity.

 147 1 A Trophy of Highland Weapons, mounted on an octagonal board 
 on red baize. In the centre a Highland target of wood and leather, 
 with central boss pierced for a spike. Round the boss is a circle 
 of interlaced work tooled in the leather. In the extreme space 
 are six equal circles, each with a centre stud of brass, and round 
 it three smaller circles, the spaces between being filled with inter- 
 lacements. The spaces between the large circles are fitted with 
 segmental plates of brass, fastened with nails and studs. This target 
 is of great antiquity, and it is believed to be about the only one in 
 Scotland that has the spikes preserved. (Fully described in 
 Drummond's Ancient Scottish Weapons ^ Plate v. Fig. iii.) 
 On the top a pair of pistols, and longitudinally, down the centre 
 of the board, a two-handed sword, with scabbard (said to have 
 been used by Stewart of Ardvorlich, who killed Lord Kilpont 
 in a duel during the Montrose wars : see Legefid of Montrose), 
 Arranged diagonally with board are six Highland basket-hilted 
 swords, with Andrea Ferrara and other antique blades, which were
