The truth is the best advocate. The Loch of Forfar is a fine sheet of water, about one and a half mile

22

long, and of very irregular breadth, running westwaixls of the burgh boundaries, and overflowing into the small river Dean, which, through the Kerbet, eventually merges in the Tay. It is the property of the Earl of Strathmore, but Forfarians have little cause of complaint in connection with the exercise of his Lordship's vested rights. Fishing and bathing are at ' the option of the lieges, who find the walk round the loch a constitutional benefit of the first degree. The angler for perch and pike finds excellent sport at certain favourite portions of the water ; and in the winter the devotees of curling and skating find its surface all they could desire. Certainly, their loch is not a sea ; but Forfarians would feel curiously like " fish out of water" were it to disappear from their horizon.

MONTROSE DIRECTORY ALMANAC.

FORFAR LOCH.

'TT'HERE is a tradition which may Vi/ be said to give to the Loch of Forfar its chief claim to notoriety, viz., its position as the instrument of vengeance on the murderers of Mal- colm the Second in 1034. Pinkerton and all the other serious historians may cast what doubt they may on the statements of the earlier writers, these have got such a hold on the popular imagination that nothing can affect its tenacity. " King Malcolm died peacefully and naturally in his bed at G lam is Castle" they assert, and there is much evidence to sup- port their contention ; but, despite it, the old story crops up almost with each generation. Have we not seen the room in which the King was butchered at Glamis Castle? The blood-stain on the floor ! is it not there to testify to the cruel deed ? The sculptured stones at Glamis and Cossans ; do they not represent the murderers fleeing from the avenger ? The Loch of Forfar ! Have not its depths unfolded such evidence as might satisfy the most sceptical that these "limmaris" were drowned therein ? How will you account for these spears, and other accoutrements of war-like men, fished from its waters from time to time ? Did not Shakespeare himself make capital out of the dark deed, even though a Duncan were slain by a Macbeth through that sort of error covered by the ubiquitous phrase, "poetic- license?" No matter though this loch lay out of the natural course of fugitives who would seek the wilds rather than the royal borough, they must have perished there, for so it hath been written, and so we must believe.

THE HOUSE OF DUN.

'/T HE House of Dun's close associa- Vi/ tion with sixteenth and seven- teenth century history especially invests it with an interest to others than the mere student. Here every- thing savours of the name of Erskine

- though the last male of the line died so long ago as 1812 - and of Reformation doings. The tenets of the Reformed faith were brought hither from the Continent direct, which was the return made to old mother Church by the worthy John - afterwards Superintendent of Angus and Mearns - a man, " mar- vlously enlightned, in respect of these times " - for her having packed him off upon a penitential pilgrimage abroad. Wherein one may observe the strain of irony that is often apt to mingle in human affairs. Then comes Knox upon the scene, with a choice repertory of those ' excellent sermons" of his, by which he mightily moved the Radical of his day to revolt against the old order of things ecclesiastic. In the church of Dun is still preserved the veritable pulpit in which the great Reformer, as they tell you, harangued the stalwarts of Angus and Mearns.

But the lairds of Dun were men of might and fame centuries ere this, for, as the Chronicle bears, it was " specialy throw the grete helpying off gud Scher Robert of Erskyne " that the Stewarts were brought to the throne. One of the darker pages of the history of Dun is occupied with the names of Robert, Isobel, Anna, and Helen Erskine, who in 1613-14 were convicted of having " ministrate ane vennemous and poysoneable drink " to their ' ' tua nephewes " to remove them out of the way of Robert's succession to the estate, and the first three of whom were beheaded at the Edinburgh Mercat Croce, arid the last-named banished for life. The " Bonnie Ha'-hoose o' Dun," as seen to-day, is not the original, but only a successor of the ancient baronial edifice whose site is still marked by an ivy-covered fragment within the grounds.

Human nature readily falls into the mistake that those who are mak- ing the most fuss and noise in the world are doing the most work.

Adversity is not so strong a trial of virtue as prosperity.

An old Scotchwoman, when hobbling alone down the steps of the kirk, was asked by an expectant coachman - "Hashedone?" " Dune?" said she. " He's dune lang syne, but he winna stop."

An Irishman who was to undergo trial was comforted by his priest. " Keep up your heart, Denis, my boy. Take my word for it, you'll get justice. '" Troth, yer riverence,'' replied Denis, " and that's just what I'm afraid of !"

Little that is truly noble can be expected from one who is ever poring on his cash-book or balancing his accounts.

We may fondly talk of Scarborough and its rocky cliffs, of Brighton, and Bournemouth, and Ilfracomb, but give to me the Old Red Sandstone noble promontories that run along the cliffs from Arbroath to Montrose, view the celebrated coves and dens in the recesses of the same, the white shining pebbly beaches, and seques- tered sands - where can you find their equal for grandeur and sublimity in storm and tempest, in peaceful calm and quiet retreats, and all placed within easy reach by rail, and coach, and steamboat. Forfarshire may well be called the ' Banner County of Scotland,' forover the length, breadth, and depth of its whole dimensions, there is the impress of nobility in its long historic chronicles of the past, coupled with an attractive beauty entirely its own.

SIR DAVID LINDSAY.

HBOUT the middle of the four- teenth century the Glenesk or Edzell estates came into the posses- sion of the Lindsay family through the marriage of Sir Alexander Lind- say with Catherine Stirling, the erstwhile proprietrix. Sir Alexander was succeeded b}' his youthful son, Sir David, a regular star in the military arena, who married the Princess Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of Robert II. , and who was after- wards elevated to the Peerage. While still on the sunny side of thirty he was the champion of the famous tournament at London Bridge, whereby on the Feast of St George he defeated the celebrated Lord Welles before the eyes of King Richard, his consoi t, and many celebrities of the English Court. It is probable the contest arose over a conversation between Lord Welles and Sir David when at a banquet as to the prowess of their respective countrymen. To the challenge - "Let words have no place ; if ye know not the chivalry and valiant deeds of Englishmen, assail ye me, day and place where yc list, and ye soon shall have experience,'' Sir David, feeling that the honour of his country was at stake, replied - " I will assail ye." The date was mutually agreed upon, and the Scottish combatant betook himself to his native heath to make preparations for the encounter. Having secured a reliable retinue of knights, the undaunted Lindsay received a safe-conduct passport into England, and it is believed he sailed from Dundee in the ship St Mary of | that port. The great London Bridge was heavity decorated with rich hangings of tapestry and cloth of gold, and other preparations for the event were gone about in an equally lavish fashion, Sir David being re- ceived with great ceremony by the King. At the blast of the heralds the caparisoned knights rushed at each other with such force that both spears were broken, but although

the Southron's weapon was shivered to pieces on the visor and helmet of Lindsay, the Scottish knight sat so firmly that the spectators cried out that he was locked to the saddle. The fearless Northerner, on hearing his honour challenged, rode up to the platform whereon the King and Queen were seated, and, vaulting out of the saddle, bowed to their Majes- ties, and immediately leapt back again, although heavily loaded with his armour Again the combatants rushed at each other, and again the spears were smote to shivereens. Stronger ones having been procured, the attack was renewed, and this time the herculean Lindsay knocked Lord Welles out of the saddle with such violence that he fell " flatlings down upon the green.'' The specta- tors were wild when they saw their English champion was likely to be worsted in the fray, and the}' watched with eager interest the second on- slaught. The Scottish knight dis- mounted, and a desperate hand-to hand combat with drawn daggers ensued. Again the Northern knight proved his superiority. Fastening his dagger between the joints of Lord Welles' armour, Lindsay lifted him off his feet and threw him to the ground with great force. The King cried out -

" Lyndsay, cousin, Lord Lyndsay, Do finish that thou should do this clay." This entitled the victor to com- plete the duel to the death, as the law of chivalry allowed, but instead of killing his vanquished antagonist the noble knight raised his foe and presented him to the Queen, who thanked Lord Lindsay and gave liberty to Lord Welles. Sir David then embraced the wounded knight, to indicate that he had not fought through any hatred of his opponent, but for the glory of victory and the honour of his country. The noble and chivalrous knight died at the age of forty -one, and was bxiried in Grey Friars Church, Dundee.

Dickmont Law, in the parish of St Vigeans, is the highest land in the immediate neighbourhood of Ar- broath. The ' law,' crowned with a clump of trees, is the summit of an elevated ridge. It is a prominent landmark all round, and at sea. The view from the Law is extensive, em- bracing the valleys of the Lunan and the Brothock, the distant Grampians, a wide extent of sea, the Fife coast, the Lomonds, and part of the Sidlaws. The crown of the hill is partly arti- fical, and there are in it traces of ancient building. Dickmont Law was a primitive seat of justice, and be- longed to the Abbe j' of Aber brothock.

MONTROSE DIRECTORY ALMANAC.

A FAMOUS MONTROSIAN.

*|OOBERT Brown, perhaps the ll» most celebrated botanist that Britain ever produced, was born in the house at the corner of the High .Street and Bridge Street which was recently demolished to make way for the Free Public Library. The date over the windows was 1688, and it was built in the form of an irregular cross. Mr Brown's father was a minister of the Scotch Episcopal Church, and in the non-juring times he preached in the house where his son was born. Mr Brown preached in the lobby, while his congregation, divided into the legal allotments of four, occupied the several rooms. Robert Brown was born on 21st Decern ber, 1773, and received his academical education first at Marischal College, Aberdeen, and was latterly at the University of Edinburgh. For a time he held a commission as ensign and surgeon in the " Fife Fencibles," and in 1801, on the recommendation of Sir Joseph Banks, he embarked as naturalist in the expedition, under Captain Flinders, for the survey of the Australian coasts. After the death of Dynander, in 1810, he received the charge of the whole library and splendid collections of Sir Joseph Banks, who bequeathed to him their enjoyment for life At a later period these were, witli his assent, trans- ferred to the British Museum, where for thirty years lie held the appoint- ment of Curator of the botanical collection in that great national establishment. Nearly every scien- tific Society, both at home and abroad, considered itself honoured by the enrollment of his name on the list of its members, and this honour was shared by the Montrose Natural History and Antiquarian Society, on whose records his name stands as an honorary member from its foundation till his death in 1858. He died in London in June 185S, and was interred in Kensal Green Cementery. The spot of his birth is in a most historic locality well worthy of the

event, being within a stone's cast of the reputed birthplace of the great Marquis of Montrose. The house which Brown's father occupied was built to the order of Patrick Scott, Laird of Rossie and Craig. The initials of its owner, with those of his lady, A. S., Annie Scott, of Benholm, were entwined above the lintels of the windows, together with the date. The Mill Road was then known as the "Flesh Mercate Wynd," and close by resided the Erskynes of Dun, the Oughterlonys of the ftuynd, the Stephens of Letham, the Youngs of Aldbar, and many other burghal families of more or less renown.

LOCAL PLACE BY-NAMES.

IKlAMES, sometimes "ill-names," " * have been given to places. "Tay Watter Willie*" are Dundee folks, and their Arbroath neighbours are called "Reed Lichties." By the latter hangs a tale, for Dundee at one time having got stained red glass in its harbour light, Arbroath felt it- self distinctly being left behind, but an expedition to the "reed" lamp con- vinced them that all that theirs required was a coat of ' ' reed " paint. They tried it accordingly, with the disastrous effect of completely " dousin ' the glim," and gaining for themselves the sobriquet of ' ' Reed Lichtes." " The Creeshie Wy vers o' Brechin" points back to the day when weaving was acommon industry, and these worthies looked with great distrust on the "Gable-enders," so called because the gables of many of the houses faced the road) of Mon- trose, a feeling which was returned with interest. "Tack in yer sarks, guidwives, for here comes the Brechiners," was a common saying anent the " Creeshie Wy vers " ; and a Montrose man once being asked if he thought there were no honest men in Brechin, cautiously replied, " Weel, sir, I'll no' be sayin' that there's nae honest men in Brechin ; but I will say this, sir, that it's michty far atween their doors."

MONTROSE DIRKCTORY ALMANAC.

BATTLE OF THE GRAMPIANS.

'IN ' ' the Battle of the Grampians," ^J fought between Agricola, as commander of the Roman Army, and < lalgacus, the general of the Cale- donian forces, the base of the Cale- donian army was the great pre- historic tort on the hill of Catterthun, near Brechin, the most perfect ex- ample of the kind in Britain. Its natural position was so strong that it could not have been carried by assault by any force that could have been brought against it. It will there- fore be seen that with such a base on the east, and the Pass of Killiecrankie on I he west, the Caledonians, strong in their position, could calmly await the advance of the Roman armies. Their line was completely hid from observation by the lower range of the C4rampian Hills. I am con- vinced, from a careful study of the locality, that Agricola proceeded northward through the Pass of Glen farg, and along by the Bridge of Earn, crossing the west shoulder of Mon- crieff Hill, and debouching upon the South Inch of Perth. There the Roman soldiers, first sighting the river, exclaimed Ecce Tiber! filcce Campus Martvm , ! as they beheld the noble river Tay and the beautiful plain through which it flows. No doubt the eastward movement of Gal gacus soon became known to Agricola, who would advance cautiously until he came to Battledykes, and there, protected by the South Esk river, he made a stand and threw up intrench ments. The position at that place was exactly such as the Romans always chose to fortify before risking a pitched battle. He knew that the Caledonians could not long remain inactive on Catterthun awaiting at- tack, but must descend into the plain , where he was prepared to accept battle. The armies were thus within striking distance, and a conflict could not be long delayed. The positions occupied by both generals previous to the battle were such as might have been expected from so skilful com-

manders. Tacitus says that the Caledonians commenced the attack by advancing upon the Roman army, which expected such a movement, and had taken every precaution to meet it. The description given by the Roman historian of the different incidents in the details of the battle exactly correspond with what would arise from the configuration of the country ; and the name of Battle- dykes, by which the Roman camp near the South Esk river has always been known, gives colour to the sup- position that at that place was fought the famous battle of the Grampians, betwixt the Roman and the Caledonian forces - there, and not westward in Perthshire, or eastward in theMearns, or still further north. The pre- historic fort on the hill of Catterthun, and the Roman camp at Battledykes, are standing witnesses to this day of the skilful strategy that preceded the wager of battle. LOGIE-PERT SEVENTY YEARS AGO.

HLOGIE-PERTIAN gave the following succinctly-written sketch of the state of matters that prevailed in that parish 70 years ago : - ' ' Working at Logie Bleachfield ; hours from six to seven ; a long day and little wages - 9s and 10s a week ; half holidays unknown. Principal food for working people, meal and potatoes When milk was scarce treacle ale to our porridge. News- papers dear and scarce. Could not see to read with the oily crusie, so went to bed early and got up for next day's work. Went to church on Sundays - very long sermons, very plain church, no paint, nothing in the shape of ornamentation ; floor, mother earth. The Chartist agitation going on. The hecklers at Logie Works were disciples of Feargus O'Connor, anxious for the franchise and the repeal of the Corn Laws. Meal, 32s a boll ; 4 lb. loaf, 9d ; sugar, 8d ; beef, 3d and 4d a pound, but no money to buy with. Whisky, 3d and 4d a gill ; not much demand at that price - a dram about Yule."

An old copper button, about the size of a threepenny piece, was dug up in a garden some years ago. Around the face of it are the words, " Brechine Volunteers," while in the centre is a spread thistle, surmounted by a crown. In 1S03 "The Brechin Volunteers " which afterwards be- came the " Local Militia," were embodied ; while in July, 1795, a corps was formed in the Ancient City for suppressing riots, and for " supporting the constitution of the country."

A country bridegroom, when th bride hesitated to pronounce the word "obey," remarked to the officiating clergyman, "Go on, measter - it don't matter ; I can make her !"

MONTROSE DIRECTORY ALMANAC.

A BRECHIN CHARACTER.

*i.AMIE Williamson, who died in J 1897, might be said to be the last of the, at one time, numerous class of " naterals " who were wont to roam at will about Brechin, show- ing, while crazy and half-witted, not a little deep cunning, and cuteness of mind. Jamie was always at home in the matter of dates, and he was wont to say that he was born in ' ' the year twenty-eicht - twa year after twenty- sax, the short corn year" In his earlier years he lived with his father at the gatehouse of Rosehill, then the residence of the Rev. Dr Foote, who was always very kind to the lonely old man and his son. Jamie helped his father in the garden, and did "orra troches o' errants," as he said, till the death of his father, when he removed to the city, and rented a room in various parts for many years. He was far from lazy, and was always glad to be fully employed, and might have been seen daily trundling his carefully-kept barrow loaded with gas cinders or sand. An early riser, he several times a week would be seen entering the city before eight o'clock in the morning with a load of sawmill " banks," which he had wheeled from Blaikiemill, a distance of over two miles, and which he would deliver to his customers for the low charge of fourpenee, including " cartage." His journeys frequently took him many hours, for he had numerous rests, and a crack with almost every- one he met, especially the factory lasses, with whom he was a favourite. He would shake their hands with great glee, give them a pinch of snuff, and a hearty " Foo are ye the day, ma bonnie doo ? " But should anyone propose marriage with him, he at once made off, with a "Na, na, this is a guid wife," pointing to his gaily- painted barrow, with its huge sign- board. It was when on his journeys with the barrow that the beys teased him most, which at times made him say words he regretted often afterwards. " Thae laddies wad provoke a saunt,"

he would say.

The " imperant, ill-brocht-up brats

o' laddies " were a source of great

vexation to Jamie. He truly led

a hard life at their hands.

However, in his own peculiar

way, he reasoned with them,

giving them sound advice, mingled

with not a little original philosophy

and the use of quaint words. " Ye

young rascals," he would say, "foo

wad ye like to be ca'd afore yer

Makker th' night after moubaudin'

wirds like thae." Jamie frequently

called on those who would listen to

his complaint about the police not

I locking up " Sautin's goats," as he

i designated the boys who gave him so

j much annoyance bjr crying names

I after him.

LOCAL HISTORICAL EVENTS. VT HE district of Angus and Mearns Vl/ is intimately associated with many important and stirring events | in the history of Scotland From tire twelfth to the sixteenth century : Dundee, Arbroath, Montrose, and j Brechin were centres of great in- j iiuence, politicallyand ecclesiastically, and figure prominently in the annals of the nation. It was from Montrose that Sir James Douglas sailed on his fatal expedition to the Holy Land with the precious relic - the heart of the Bruce - in performance of his sacred vow to the king. Then there were the splendid services rendered to the nation by Erskine of Dun, who sent the English fleet about their business when they attempted to land at the mouth of the South Esk. Montrose has also the honour of being amongst the first in the country to embrace Reformation principles, largely through the teaching of Erskine of Dun and others associated with him ; while from the same locality there emerged one of the grandest and most heroic characters to be found in Scottish ecclesiastical history, Andrew Melville, to whom, along with Carstares, we owe in large measure the final triumph of Presbytery.

Where friends meet hearts warm.

Sir John Gladstone purchased the estate of Fasque from the late Sir Alexander Ramsay, Bart., of Balmain, in 1829, and took possession of it in the following year. William, who was a great favourite of his father, used to spend many of his holidays at Fasque, and became much liked by the tenantry on the estate. The servants at Fasque used to say that Mr William when resident there was the soul of the company. He used to visit Montrose along with his father occasionally. In those days the public fish market was held in George Street, and when Sir John was seen making his way to it there was at once a great rise in the price of fish, and much amusement was afforded to himself and any buyers who happened to be present at his haggling with the Meggie Mucklebackets to get a reduc- tion.

HOSPITALFIELD. iKOS PITALFIELD, situated about

It J half a mile west from the out- skirts of Arbroath, was an early possession of the Abbey of Aber- Drothock It has generally been re- garded as having been not a hospice, or guest-house, but an infirmary, possibly a place for the reception of lepers, at a time when that disease and the " pest " were not uncommon in Scotland. Hospitalfield was part- ed with by the VI onastery long before its own legal dissolution. It was one of the possessions of Marion Ogilvy (Lady Melgund), the morganatic wife of Cardinal Beaton, and it descended to one of her sons. The laird of Hospitalfield towards the end of the six - teenth century was Alexander Beaton Hospitalfield, with Kirkton of St Vigeans, was bought by the Rev. James Fraser, a cadet of the family of Philorth, who was minister of Arbroath from 1653 to 1669, and died in 1689. The last male representative of his family was Major Fraser. A kindred spirit, William, Lord Pan- mure, was a visitor at Hospitalfield, and the house is reputed to have been the scene of some high jinks in those times of somewhat boundless convivality. A more distinguished guest than Lord Panmure, Sir Walter Scott, was a visitor to Hospitalfield in Major Fraser's time. There are other claimants, but the house is generally regarded as the original of ' Monk barns. ' The estate of Hospital- field descended to Major Fiaser's daughter, who married the late Patrick Allan, Arbroath, and assumed his wife's name. Mi- Allan-Fraser largely rebuilt and embellished the house of Hospitalfield. The house contains many artistic and anti- quarian and some literary treasures. In the picture galleries there are works by some of the most eminent of the modern school of artists, while some of his own work in portraiture adorns the walls. Mr Allan-Fraser, who survived his wife about twenty years, died in 1890. He bequeathed

his estates in Scotland, with the house of Hospitalfield, for a school or college of artists, the college to be at Hospitalfield.

ANCIENT DISTRICT FUEDS.

'/THE Farquharsons of Brochdarg, w and the M'Comies of Forfar, foes of a long standing, found a fresh cause of quarrel in a disposition of property made by the Earl of Airlie. M'Comie was successful in a con- sequent action raised in 1673 before the Sheriff at Forfar ; but Farquharson resisted the " letters of caption," and swore that ' ' no messenger should take him alive." Learning that their enemy lay with his retainers in hiding near Forfar, the M'Comies de- termined to aid the burgh messenger in effecting his capture. The rival clansmen met near the Burgh Muir, but again Farquharson refused to be- come a prisoner. He was seized by one of the gigantic M'Comies, a henchman fired and disabled his chief's captor, the same shot killed his brother, and soon all was conflict. In the fight Robert Farquharson of Brochdarg and his brother John were killed, two members of the famous M'Comie family sharing their fate. The elder M'Comie was not present at this encounter, but he pursued a sub- sequent course of revenge, which has no rival in our local lore. Even in his old age the chieftain was known to declare " he wished he were but twenty years of age again " so that he might " make the Farquhai-sons thinner, and have a life for ilka finger and toe of his twa dead sons ! " For long he kept the reiving caterans of the Grampian glens in cheek, and these marauders held high jubilation when the stalwart chieftain died. " What news? " runs the local story dealing with this event, " Whatnews?" " News and good news ! Blessed be the Virgin Mary ! The great M'Comie at the head of the Lowlands is dead, for as big and as strong as lie was !"

A good wife is worth gold.

In 1724 great difficulty was experi- enced in finding suitable persons to

recruit the Kirk Session at Forfar. Eventually four were nominated, and elected on the strength of the left-handed compliment that they " were the finest that could be found in town ! "

Roman Catholicism has never secured a footing or a following in Forfar. From time to time missions and services have been held, but these have had no result worth mentioning. The Irish element which has so dominated certain quarters of Dundee and Arbroath has not spread inland and thus the burgh and district is ehurchless so far as this persuasion is concerned.

Every man is ready to give in a long catalogue of those virtues and good qualities he expects to find in the person of a friend ; but very few of us are careful to cultivate them in our- selves.

MONTROSE DIRECTORY ALMANAC.

CROSSING THE BAR.

BEVER a winter passes in Mon- trose but that the lifeboats are called out several times, and a large number of these services is for the Ferryden fishing boats. When one has had a sharp run down to the life- boat house, and finds that the rockets are fired for fishing boats in danger, he is apt to say "Oh, only fishing- boats ; I thought it might have been something." "Only fishing boats," forsooth ! Go to the other side of the water, and there you would reconsider your words. The women and children gather along the braes in great distress, anxiously watching the progress of the boats, and great is the joy when they are seen safely across the bar into the smoother water of the river. At the time of one of these sudden storms a woman more anxious even than the rest, had gone along the beach at the foot of the braes, straining her eyes to catch sight of her husband's boat. At last she caught sight of it just as it reached the bar, and as the sea had by this time become very heavy, the poor woman let her feelings get the upper hand of her, and she cried out at the top of her voice, ' ' Oh may the Lord rain doun stanesfae Heaven and kill me if my man's drowned crossing the bar the day." A wag at the top of the braes hearing this, and taking advantage of the situation, quickly commenced a sharp fusilade of small stones. " Mercy keep me," cried the astonished woman, her attention for the moment averted from the boat, " ye canna say muckle here but fat its tane in ernest."

WESLEY iN BRECHIN. "/TOWARDS the close of the seven- V|U teenth century, Brechin was visited by the father of Wesleyan Methodists, .John Wesley, whose stirring addresses had the effect of gathering around him a number of adherents. The principles, however, not bekig favourably regarded by the Scotch Presbyterians, the preacher and the little band was exposed to

considerable persecution. A story is related of their meeting in what was then designated "the aulclTowbonth," or common jail, situated where the police office till recently existed. The cells, it is curious to note, were in the second flat, and were reached by an outside stone stair, at the top of which was a massive, grim-looking, iron-studded door. Here Wesley is said to have been preaching when a band of young scapegraces, en- couraged by older scoffers, fastened the door from the outside with a stick and strong rope. Having collected a heap of boulders by way of ammunition , they commenced an assault, which had anything but a pleasing effect on the assembly within the jail. So fierce, it is said, was the combat that the sparks of fire were seen flying from the big nail heads.

It is truth that makes a man angry.

A letter dated 13th April, 1833, sent from Montrose to Stonehaven, was marked in the first instance Is for postage. But the letter was over- weight, and that cost another Is, so that a letter between Montrose and Stonehaven actually cost 2s. Now a letter of the same weight could go 10,000 miles for Id.

For the rocky canyon of the North Esk, extending to about three miles above Eclzell, there is only one word suitable - magnificent. What a

worker in stone that river is ! How beautifully scooped and curved and carved are the sandstone and con- glomerate rocks. The river is so solid, the rock so neatly and artisti- cally fitted to its form, that in the onlooker's eyes the elemental qualities of each are e .changed. The stone is the plastic substance, the water the inflexible power moulding the rocks to its own shape as if they were composed of soft clay. Within the three-mile stretch is contained nearly every feature of rocky river scenery ever depicted by the artist. Dead pool, glassy rapid, foaming waterfall succeed each other repeatedly.

A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying in other words that he is wiser to-day than he was yesterday.

Nothing is certain but death and taxes.

The Abbey of Aberbrothock pre- sents a contrast between present ruin and former greatness. Thus says a poet : -

There's mony scenes for poet's themes, The Abbe.v O surroou',

An' plenteous store o' legend lore Within St Tammas' toon.

It is said that the legal lights of old Forfar were convivial to a degree, and there is something in this reputa- tion of theirs if all stories be true. Well : at a time when several schemes for draining the loch were being dis- cussed, a local wit, who was not guiltless of the failing which he made the butt of his sarcasm, proposed that a hogshead or two of whisky should be emptied into the loch, and added, " Juist you set the Farfar wreaters at it syne, and they'll sune drink it dry ! "

MONTROSE DIRECTORY ALMANAC.

THE SANDY BRAES.

a BOUT seventy j'ears ago the sand-banks at the Foreshore of Montrose were not nearly so broad as they are now, so when the high tides threatened to do damage to the town the Bailies passed a law prohibiting all and sundry from removing sand from the braes, under pains and penalties. Then the housewives of the town were in the habit of using a good deal of sand by sprinkling it over their floors after washing them. After sending round Willie Reid and Geordie Mitchell, the then Town Officers, with the town's drum, warn- ing the inhabitants against the re- moval of sand, a watch was put on to see that no one transgressed the law. At first Willie and Geordie were put on as watchmen against the law- breakers. After that an old man was appointed watchman, who was of very little use, and on whom the young men of the town were wont to play many a prank. A practical joke was played on him by two young fellows who worked at Aberdein & Gordon's heckle machines. They had got hold of two bags about the size of those generally used for carrying sand, and filling them with mill dust, they managed to smuggle them down to the braes when the old man's back was turned ; when they saw him coming their way, they came out of one of the gulleys walking slowly with the supposed heavy loads of sand on their backs. The old man on seeing them cried to them to stop, but they " heard him as they heard him not " and walked on. He made a race to catch them, but when he was just in the act of putting his hands on them, they made a bolt and ran with him at their heels till they were at the end of the road leading to Union Street, when they flung their bags away. It was a study to see the look on the poor old fellow's face when he discovered the contents of the bags. It was a fine ploy for the young men and women of those days to go, especially in the dark nights,

down to the braes for sand. What made it all the more delightful was the spice of adventure in it.

FORFAR AND JACOB1TISM.

'/r HE activity of the Lords and VI* Lairds of Angus, in the Re- bellions of 1715 and 1745, is a matter of history. Forfar was a stronghold of Jacobitism. The powerful Maules, Carnegies, Lindsays, Lyons, and Ogilvies, and local lairds like Hunter of Burnside and Fletcher of Balin- shoe, "declared for Scotland's King and law," and used every means to press the burghers of the county town to " fecht for Royal Charlie." Their efforts needed not to be heroic, for the sutors and tailors danced even before their war-pipes sounded. To tuck of drum and skirl of bagpipes, "James Ramsay, Taylor," scoured the highways and bye-ways of Forfar, and compelled his hesitating fellows to enlist under the banner of the young Pretender. That he succeeded cannot, on the testimony of authentic documents, be doubted. Soon after the clangour of insurrection had been hushed, the Government ordered its Supervisors of Excise in all the affected districts to submit a list of those who had erstwhile proved rebellious. The space occupied there- in by Forfar and district is as dis- tinctly respectable as the matter is interesting. Lord Ogilvie of Airlie was the military head of the local contingent, which included men in all ranks of life, and from every parish in the Presbytery. Forfar alone added two dozen stalwarts, a merchant ensign, a late Bailie of the burgh, and a Jacobite Episcopalian minister figuring among the foes of the " Ger- man Lairdie."

One's own health is gold's worth.

Red hair, according to Lavater, characterises a man singularly good or singularly bad ; and he adds, " a striking contrast between the colour of the hair and the colour of the eye- brows inspires me with distrust."

The Den of St Vigeans has always been a favourite pleasure resort, and has supplied themes to the poets. Alexander Balfour, in his poem on "Contemplation," sings: -

Where the streamlet loves to glide, Towering high in village pride, On the green romantic height, St Vigean's fane allured the sight ; While ahove the hamlet nigh Blue smoke, curling, sought the sky.

It was in the Den of St Vigeans and at Cairnie that women and other non- combatants found shelter during what turned out to be the very ineffective bombardment of Arbroath by the * French privateer William Fall on 23rd and 24th May, 1781.

MONTROSE DIRECTORY ALMANAC.

RBDCASTLB,

STANDING on a mount at the mouth of the Lunan in Lunan Bay, is probably the oldest ruined house in Angus. The origin of this castle is not known with certainty. It is known that for many a year Noise invaders frequented Lunan Bay, the shores of which presented a good landing place for their war galleys, and it has often been as- sumed that Redcastle was built as a protection of the land. King William the Lion has been named as the builder, and he is said by John Ochterlony, in his "Account of the Shire of Forfar " in 1685, to have dwelt there when he built his Abbey at Arbroath. But this can scarcely have been, for the Abbey was not founded till 1178, and the earliest authentic fact we have about Red- castle is that thirteen years before the founding of the Abbey the manor of Redcastle, with the lands of Inver- keilor, was given by King William to his chamberlain, Walter de Berkeley. The learned antiquary Chalmers, in his ' Caledonia, ' repeats a statement, for which he gives no authority, that the chamberlain was really the builder of the castle. Through the marriage of the daughter of Walter de Berkeley, Redcastle passed to Ingleram of Baliol, an ancestor of John Baliol, whose short-lived sover- eignty came to such an inglorious end in the churchyard of Scracathro. Afterwards, Campbells had possession of Redcastle, and on the resignation of Sir Andrew Campbell in 1366-7, the barony was acquired by Sir Robert Stewart of Innermeith, a family who continued in possession down to the seventeenth century.

The grim ruin, a prominent object both by land and sea, had doubtless often been the scene of violence, and as certainly of lawlessness and oppression. In such names of places in the immediate vicinity of the castle as ' Courthill,' ' Gallowshill,' and ' Witchpools,' there is an indica- tion of the extent of feudal power

when Redcastle was an inhabited house. The last notable act of violence, was a family brawl that broke out in 1579, and continued more or less till 1587. The Lady of Innermeith, a widow and no longer young, had married as her second husb nd the youthful son of Patrick Lord Gray. Discovering that she had made a mistake, she raised an action of divorce against him Mean- while he besieged her in her house of Redcastle, having the assistance of his father, who was Sheriff of Forfar, as also that of the Earl of Crawford, James Lord Ogilvy, and other persons of distinction. Gray is represented as having burned part of the house and behaved with great brutality. He was outlawed, but afterwards succeeded in making his peace with the law. Redcastle ceased to exist as a strong place after its siege in 1579 and 1581, but it is said, somewhat doubtfully, to have been roofed so recently as 1770. Its last inhabitant was the Rev. James Rait, the Episcopalian minister of Inver- keilor, who was deprived at the Revolution, and on quitting the manse took up his abode in Redcastle. About the middle of the seventeenth century the barony of Redcastle was the property of Ruthven of Gardyne, and it subsequently belonged to the Earls of Northesk. In 1724 it was purchased for the Panmure estate, of which it still forms a part. The mount on which the weather-worn ruin of Redcastle stands is now a resort of picnic parties - a sharp contrast with the ancient history of the castle. It was on this hill also that, more than a century and a half ago, William Imrie, the son of an Aberdeenshire farmer, rested while on his journey southward to seek fortune Weary and footsore, he fell asleep, and, perhaps having been impressed by the fair prospect before him, dreamed that he was the laird of Lunan. And fortune so favoured him that after many years his dream was realised.

PENNY WEDDINGS.

SIXTY years ago rural dwellers considered a well - attended penny wedding as the fundamental basis of a prosperous married career. At these gatherings all visitors were welcome, provided they paid their way. Usually the charge was one shilling for each person, and this money went into the pockets of the couple about to set up house. The ceremony was usually performed about the hour of 7 p.m. The pay- ment of the entry fees entitled the guest to all the privileges of the meeting, even including the kissing of the bride after the minister had pronounced her the lawful wedded wife of the gentleman in funereal- like coat and unkempt whiskers.

The baker who had an eye to future business would send in a liberal supply of plain and fancy bread, much more, of course, than he would otherwise have done, but his rival in the trade had already sent his boy with a shortie and a bun, and he could not afford to be outdone in the competition. The neighbour- ing meal miller bent under a half sack of oatmeal, and the doctor's gig would halt, and his lady enter the bride's door to leave a bedcover she had fashioned with her own hands. Farmers who had potatoes to sell in the fall of the year ordered their carts to leave a bag of their ' ' sma' Americans" with Janet, and the message that they hoped ' - Jeck Lindsay, when he got merried, wid stap the dreels afore the roup day." The village shoemaker sent a pair of slippers, with a pencil note inside giving his name, trade, and lowest prices both for men's and women's boots and shoes. Other tradesmen in the locality acted in a similar fashion.

The marriage feast generally cost nothing to the contracting parties, and all money drawn as entrance fees, &c, went directly into the coffers of the bride and bridegroom. Besides this shilling of entrance fee,

it was customary to have a liquor bar improvised in some convenient house or barn, where the national beverage and other drinks could be had. The liquor was sold, and the profit arising therefrom also went to the young couple. Perhaps at the nuptial banquet a round of whisky was served out gratis, but this was more the exception than the rule. The bridegroom himself often pre- sided at the bar, and it was no uncommon sight to find the bride with tucked up sleeves washing the tumblers behind the temporary counter. The more noise and revelry the more liquor consumed, with greater financial benefit to bride and bridegroom. Song followed dance, and dance followed song. Feats of strength, tricks and card playing, speeches and fiddle and bagpipe music all ended in another glass of mountain dew. When the grey morning crept in at the small windows of the biggin' the wedded couple would have a ''pigfu' o' siller" to start them on that crooked lane that leads to old age and dotage.

There is nothing keeps longer than a middling fortune, and nothing melts away sooner than a great one. Poverty treads upon the heels of great and unexpected riches.

The lower North Water Bridge is a notable structure. On approaching it from the south one's attention is arrested as he finds himself apostro- phised in the first sentence of the inscription on a large slab which rises high above the parapet - " Traveller, pass safe and free across this bridge." This memorial stone gives a concise and interesting ac- count of the bridge-building enter- prise, which owed its inception to Thomas Christie, Provost of Montrose. The bridge occupied five years in building, being completed on 18th October, 1775, at a cost of £6500, which was defrayed by public sub- scription, including £800 given by the King out of the annexed estates.

The truth is the best advocate.

You may depend upon it that he is a good man whose most intimate friends are all good, and whose enemies are decidedly bad.

The scenes in the land of the " lichtsome Lindsays" are redolent of the fame of an ancient name, and deeply tinged with traditionary and historic interest. In their presence the mind well ordered to a love of the " good old times " will be fain to have nothing brought within its purview but what savours of pranc- ing steeds and lordly pageants and warring clansfolks, or even of Covenanter-baiting and witch- burn- ings and darksome dealings with the father of evil.

DISTRICT HISTORIC GROUND.

/"&OING towards Edzell, and just VL' beyond Trinity, the traveller will note the Haer Cairn, which marks the spot where the rebel Earl Beardie was overcome by the Royalist Huntly in 1452. How this defeat maddened Crawford, a man of wild passions at the best, will be remem- bered from his declaration of readi- ness to ' hang seven years in hell by the breers o' the ee ' to have had it otherwise, and by the ferocity with which he subsequently ravaged and plundered the possessions of his offending neighbours of Kinnaird, Balnumoon, and others.

The outlook from this celebrated battle-site upon the surrounding country is both extensive and full of charm. To the north-west appear the tops of the Brown and White Catterthuns - favourite sporting ground of the antiquarian fancy - forming, as it were, but stepping stones to the multitudinous heights beyond as they rise to the two thousand feet altitudes of the Wirrens and Bulg, and away over Glenesk towards the dominating summit of Mount Battock, from which the Grampians roll from east to west in lavish grandeur.

All around through the lands of Dun. Pert, Stracathro, Brechin, and Farnell the scene is one of smiling prosperity - mansion and hamlet and farmhouse alternating with field and woodland and river. With his in- terests bound up more or less in all these lands one need marvel little at the absolute submission made to the "Tiger Earl" to save them - a sub- mission accompanied, as we are told, with such sighing and sobbing that there " raise sic ruth and pity amang the company that nane almaist could contain themselves from tears."

SHYING AT THE FORD.

SIR David Lindsay of Edzell had a grand-daughter, Magdalene Carnegie, youngest of the six daugh- ters of the first Earl of Southesk, all

of whom became the wives of peers. " Mistress Magdalene's beauty had glamoured the Master of Ogilvy, afterwards the second Earl of Airlie ; and there is a traditional account to the effect that, on his way to Kin- naird Castle to make her an offer of marriage, his horse refused to take a ford, and so impressed was he with this, as an omen of evil, that he abandoned his suit and threw a damsel into lamentations. But soon her lamentations were soothed by the young Earl of Montrose - afterwards the great Marquis - in his seventeenth year making her his bride.

There are indications that she did not continue in full sympathy with her husband in his political aspira- tions, and the Master of Ogilvy was perhaps saved from an uncongenial helpmeet by his horse refusing the ford. But we doubt the truth of the tradition, as the Master was not one likely to be turned from his purpose so easily. There must have been some other cause than the ostensible one. When Montrose, then on the side of the Covenanters, summoned the Castle of Airlie and had a spirited answer from Lord Ogilvy, would we be far out in surmising that some stray thoughts of "Mistress Mag- dalene," and their respective relations towards her, flitted across the minds of both the summoner and the sum- moned ? And in future years, when Montrose and Ogilvy were fast friends - their friendship tested in battle and danger - fighting in the caitse of the King, visions of the "Mistress Magdalene" of the past must sometimes have momentarily stood between them. That horse shying at the ford ! How he changed the fortunes of two men !

An old fox doesn't go twice into the trap.

The most manifest sign of Avisdom is continued cheerfulness : her estate is like that of things in the regions above the moon, always clear and serene.

RBMIMSCENCES OF MOfi,TROSE.

/^"HE vane on Montrose Steeple Vl/ (wrote one in a reminiscent mood), which has withstood the storms of more than seventy years, if it could hut speak, could tell an interesting story of scenes of joy and sorrow that it had witnessed during the many years it had stood on that lofty pinnacle. There were the grand Masonic processions and large gather- ings of the public at the laying of the foundation-stones of the Infirmary, Dorward's House of Refuge, and the Wet Dock : the excited meetings of the public in connection with the Corn Law Bill : the carrying through the streets and burning the effigy of Sir Robert Peel, who at first opposed the passing of the Bill, then the reac- tion when that statesman changed his opinion, and went over to the other side, and did so much in helping to carry the Bill through Parliament. To make amends, the Montrosians put up that fine monument to his memory in the High Street.

It could tell of a sad incident that took place over sixty years ago, when the sloop John Elizabeth was wrecked on the Annat and all hands perished. It was a dark, stormy night ; the vessel had got up the river as far as the Lower Lighthouse, but, by wind and tide, was driven down again, and in spite of what Captain Erskine and his crew could do was driven on the Annat. The lifeboat crew had assembled, but had quarrelled amongst themselves about supremacy, forgetting that the waves were hurling the vessel and crew to destruction. By this time a number of people had assembled on the Sands, and they could hear the cries of the drowning seamen, and could shout to them in reply, so near were they to the shore ; the last cry that was heard being from a seaman named Largo, who, when shouted to that the life- boat was coming, cried back in a despairing tone " It's lang, lang i' coming'." To them it never came, for at that moment a wave bigger

than its fellows swept the whole crew into a watery grave.

It could tell of another mournful scene It was a stormy day of wind and rain, when a shabby-looking hearse, drawn by a miserable-looking horse, passed along the High Street on its way to the Cemetery, the sole mourners being two blind men, arm in arm, struggling against the wind and rain. They were Willie Gunn and Blind Hughie, whom old Montrosians will remember as a well-known street singer, and the corpse in the hearse was his wife.

A striking contrast to this funeral was that of the well-known Dr Paterson, who had laboured in the town in season and out of season for full sixt}' long years, and whose name and praise were on every lip, he and his life work being eulogised and com- mented on in every newspaper in Scotland. His funeral was the largest ever seen in Montrose, his remains being followed to the grave by clergy- men and gentlemen of every denomi- nation.

The vane could also speak of the well-known figures of the ministers and public men of some fifty or sixty years ago - the tall, striking figure of the learned Rev. Dr Smith as he walked along the Mall, books in hand ; the smiling face of Dr Paterson, with umbrella under his arm, speaking, maybe, to some old lady ; the bowed form of the Episcopal minister Peter Cushnie ; or the stalwart figure of Mr Nixon ; the venerable Andrew Wilson, of the Antiburger Kirk (now St Luke's), who was passing rich on £70 a year, and who, when not able to stand and preach, did so sitting ; the eloquent Henry Hyslop. who, rather than pay the Annuity Tax, allowed his furni- ture to be sold at the Market Cross ; and the then well-known figure of Dr Brewster, of Craig, who did so much for the fishermen of Ferryden. It could speak, too, of many others well remembered who have long ago

disappeared off the stage of life.

While contesting that seat he lived for six months in the East End of London studying the conditions of life in the poorer districts. On short notice he contested the Parliamentary election at Hastings in March last, the entire contest from the time of his arrival occupying six days. Mr Harcourt has also been connected with literature, and is the author of two three-act comedies.

Captain Murray is a keen politician, and in addition to a knowledge of foreign affairs he has interested himself in Scottish questions. He is an omnivorous reader, and has contributed extensively to leading journals on political subjects. He succeeded James W.

Mr Johnston served three terms as a Town Councillor, and held the office of Hoapitalmaster for a short time He was an ardent Liberal, and for many years was a member of the Liberal Committee. On the eve of the poll of the recent bye- election Mr Johnston occupied a prominent position at the Liberal meeting, and the following day, despite the fact that his bodily infirmities necessitated his being assisted to the booth, he exercised the franchise. He was also at one time a Manager of the House of Refuge. His wife predeceased him 22 years ago, and he is survived by two daughters and two sons.

MISS HOPE PATON.

Died at Montrose on 17th June, 1908, aged eighty-nine. Deceased was a member of one of the oldest families in Montrose and neighbourhood. She was a daughter of the late John Paton, millowner, who, along with her uncle, established in 1828 what is now known as Chapel Works. She was a warm friend and helper of the poor. She provided the money to improve and beautify that portion of the Mid-Links known as the Hope Paton public

bowling green and garden. Connected with St John's United Free Church

since it was established as a chapel-of-ease in or about the year 1829, Miss

Paton, like the other members of her family, was a large giver to the church.

JAMES ALLAN.

Died at Kinnaber, Montrose, on 31st July, 1908, aged eighty-two. Deceased's father was meal miller at Kinnaber before him. There Mr Allan was born, and learnt his father's business, and succeeded him when he died. Mr Allan carried on a large trade, and was recognised as a man of high commercial ability, sterling character, and thoroughly honest in all his business trans- actions. His interest in public affairs was keen. He sat for a period on the Brechin Committee of the County Council as the representative of Hillside, and he was for another period connected with Dorward's House of Refuge, acting on that body in the interest of the landward heritors. He attended St George's U.F. Church, Montrose, from his childhood, took a profound interest in its welfare, and was an elder at the time of his death, which office he had held for very many years. His wife predeceased him some years ago, and he is survived by his son, James Allan - who for some years had co-operated with him in the conduct of the mills at Kinnaber - and a daughter.
