particular instance, the  fiction  give  way  to  the  fact, which last is undoubtedly in favour of Mr. MacVean’s system. It is singular how tradition,  which  is  sometimes  a  sure   6kjc2  


guide to truth, is, in other cases, prone to mislead us.   In  w6kjc2   the  celebrated  field  of battle at Killiecrankie, the traveller  w6kjc2  is struck with one  of  those  rugged  pillars  of 


roughstone, which indicate the scenes of ancient conflict. A friend of  the  author,  5l3rmw6jc2   well acquainted with the  5l3rmw6jc2  circumstances of the battle, was standing  near  this  large 


stone, and looking on the scene around, when a highland  shepherd  hurried  down  from the hill to offer his services as cicerone, and proceeded to inform him,  3rmw6kj2   that  Dundee  was 


slain at that stone, which was raised to his memory. "Fie, Donald. "  answered  my  friend, "how can you tell such a story to a stranger?  6kjc2  I am sure you know well  w6kjc2   enough  that  Dundee 


was killed at a considerable distance  w6kjc2  from this place, near the house of  Fascally,   and that this stone was here long before the battle, in  1688. "-"Oich!  oich!"  said  Donald, 


no way abashed, "and your honour’s in the right, and I  6kjc2  see you ken  6kjc2  a’ about  it.   And he wasna  5l3rmw6jc2  killed on the spot neither, but  lived  till  the  next  morning;  but  a’  the 


Saxon gentlemen like best to hear he was killed at the  great  stane. "  It  is  on  the  same principle of pleasing my readers, that  I  retain  Crookstone  Castle  instead  of   Cathcart.   6kjc2  


If, however, the author  6kjc2  has  taken  a  5l3rmw6jc2   liberty  in  removing the actual field of battle somewhat to the eastward, he has been  tolerably  strict  in 


adhering to the incidents of the engagement,   as  will  appear  from  it  comparison  of events in the novel, with  5l3rmw6jc2  the following account from an old writer. 


"The Regent  6kjc2  was out on foot and  all  his  company,   except the Laird of Grange, Alexander Hume of Manderston, and some  borderers  to  l3rmw6kc2   the  number  of 


two hundred. The Laird of Grange had already viewed the  ground,   and  with   w6kjc2  all   3rmw6kj2  imaginable diligence caused every horseman to take behind him a footman  of  the  Regent’s,   to  guard 


behind them, and rode with speed to the head of Langside-hill,   and  set  down  the  footmen with their culverings at the head of a straight lane,  5l3rmw6jc2  where there  l3rmw6kc2   were  5l3rmw6jc2   some  cottage  houses 


and yards of great  w6kjc2  advantage. Which soldiers with their continual shot  killed  divers  of the vaunt guard, led by the Hamiltons, who,   courageously  and  fiercely  ascending  up 


the hill,  l3rmw6kc2  were already  5l3rmw6jc2  out of breath, when the Regent’s  vaunt  guard  joined  6kjc2   with  mw6kjc2   them. Where the worthy Lord Hume fought on foot with his pike   5l3rmw6jc2  in  his  hand  very  manfully, 


hiisted by  6kjc2  the laird of Cessford, his brother-inlaw, who helped him  up  again  when he was strucken to the ground by  many  strokes  upon  his  face,   through  the  throwing 


pistols at him after they had been discharged. He was also wounded with staves,  and   w6kjc2  had  many strokes of  3rmw6kj2  spears through his legs; for he and Grange,  at  the  kjc2   joining,   cried  to  let 


their adversaries first lay down their spears, to  bear  up  theirs;  which  5l3rmw6jc2   spears  were  so thick fixed in the others’ jacks, that  some  of  the  pistols  and  great  staves  that  were .
