34. A picturesque glimpse of the Highland marauding of this period was
obtained some years ago at second-hand from the memory of William Bane
Macpherson, who died in 1777 at the age of a hundred. ‘He was wont to relate that,
when a boy of twelve years of age, being engaged as buachaille [herd-boy] at the
summering [i. e., summer grazing] of Biallid, near Dalwhinnie, he had an
opportunity of being an eye-witness to a creagh and pursuit on a very large scale,
which passed through Badenoch. At noon on a fine autumnal day in 1689, his
attention was drawn to a herd of black-cattle, amounting to about six score, driven
along by a dozen of wild Lochaber men, by the banks of Loch Erroch, in the
direction of Dalunchart in the forest of Alder, now Ardverikie. Upon inquiry, he
ascertained that these had been “lifted” in Aberdeenshire, distant more than a
hundred miles, and that the reivers had proceeded thus far with their booty free
from molestation and pursuit. Thus they held on their way among the wild hills of
this mountainous district, far from the haunts of the semi-civilised inhabitants,
and within a day’s journey of their home. Only a few hours had elapsed after the
departure of these marauders, when a body of nearly fifty horsemen appeared,
toiling amidst the rocks and marshes of this barbarous region, where not even a
footpath helped to mark the intercourse of society, and following on the trail of the
men and cattle which had preceded them. The troop was well mounted and armed,
and led by a person of gentlemanlike appearance and courteous manners; while,
attached to the party, was a number of horses carrying bags of meal and other
provisions, intended not solely for their own support, but, as would seem from the
sequel, as a ransom for the creagh. Signalling William Bane to approach, the
leader minutely questioned him about the movements of the Lochaber men, their
number, equipments, and the line of their route. Along the precipitous banks of
Loch Erroch this large body of horsemen wended their way, accompanied by
William Bane, who was anxious to see the result of the meeting. It bespoke spirit
and resolution in those strangers to seek an encounter with the robbers in their
native wilds, and on the borders of that country, where a signal of alarm would
have raised a numerous body of hardy Lochaber men, ready to defend the creagh,
and punish the pursuers. Towards nightfall, they drew near the encampment of the
thieves at Dalunchart, and observed them busily engaged in roasting, before a large
fire, one of the beeves, newly slaughtered.
‘A council of war was immediately held, and, on the suggestion of the leader, a
flag of truce was forwarded to the Lochaber men, with an offer to each of a bag of
meal and a pair of shoes, in ransom for the herd of cattle. This offer, being viewed
as a proof of cowardice and fear, was contemptuously rejected, and a reply sent, to
the effect that the cattle, driven so far and with so much trouble, would not be
surrendered. Having gathered in the herd, both parties prepared for action. The
overwhelming number of the pursuers soon mastered their opponents. Successive
discharges of firearms brought the greater number of the Lochaber men to the
ground, and in a brief period only three remained unhurt, and escaped to tell the
sad tale to their countrymen.’—Inverness Courier, August 17, 1847.

suspected.
49. Mr Burton, in his History of Scotland from 1689 to 1748, gives the
following account of this nobleman: ‘The Earl of Crawford, made chairman of the
Estates and a privy councillor, was the only statesman of the day who adopted the
peculiar demeanour and scriptural language of the Covenanters. It is to him that
Burnet and others attribute the severities against the Episcopal clergymen, and the
guidance of the force brought to bear in the parliament and Privy Council in favour
of a Presbyterian establishment.’

57. John Callander, master-smith, petitioned the Privy Council in June 1689,
regarding smith-work which he had executed for Edinburgh and Stirling Castles, to
the amount of eleven hundred pounds sterling, whereof, though long due, he had
‘never yet received payment of a sixpence.’ On his earnest entreaty, three hundred
pounds were ordered to be paid to account. On the ensuing 23d of August, he was
ordained to be paid £6567, 17s. 2d., after a rigid taxing of his accounts, Scots
money being of course meant. Connected with this little matter is an anecdote
which has been told in various forms, regarding the estate of Craigforth, near
Stirling. It is alleged that the master-smith, failing to obtain a solution of the debt
from the Scottish Exchequer, applied to the English treasury, and was there so
fortunate as to get payment of the apparent sum in English money. Having out of
this unexpected wealth made a wadset on the estate of Craigforth, he ultimately fell
into the possession of that property, which he handed down to his descendants.[58]
John Callander was grandfather of a gentleman of the same name, who cultivated
literature with assiduity, and was the editor of two ancient Scottish poems—The
Guberlunzie Man, and Christ’s Kirk on the Green. This gentleman, again, was
grandfather to Mrs Thomas Sheridan and Lady Graham of Netherby.

sent for a warning to thee, to flee to God. Yet troubled shall this man be for twenty
days and three. Repent, repent, Scotland, or else thou shalt’——.
138. On the 7th of January 1696, the Privy Council gave licence to George
Mossman, stationer in Edinburgh, to ‘print and sell a book entitled A True
Relation of an Apparition, Expressions, and Actings of a Spirit which infested the
House of Andrew Mackie, in Ring-croft of Stocking, in the Parish of Rerrick, &c.,’

 151. In April 1703, John Dunbabbine, an Englishman, who in his own country
had for several years followed the trade of pin-making ‘to the satisfaction of all
those with whom he had any dealing,’ was now inclined to set up a work at
Aberdeen, which he thought would be ‘very much for the advantage of the kingdom
[of Scotland] and all the inhabitants thereof.’ All he required previously was his
work being endowed with the privileges and immunities of a manufactory; which
the Privy Council readily granted.

226. Under extremity of suffering during the dearth, in September 1699, one
David Chapman, belonging to Crieff, broke into a lockfast place, and stole some
cheese, a sugar-loaf, and about four shillings sterling of money. His sole motive for
the crime, as he afterwards pleaded, was the desire of relieving his family from the
pains of want. Apprehended that day, he confessed the crime, and restored the
spoil; yet, being tried by the commissioner of justiciary for the Highlands, he was
condemned to death.
 On a petition, the Privy Council commuted the sentence to scourging through
the town of Perth, and banishment to the plantations.[228]

married, on the 31st August 1699, to ‘the very vertuous Lady Henrietta Johnston,’

May Hopetoun flourish still with Lady Hen-

248. James Donaldson seems to have been engaged in the poetic elegy trade;
that is, the writing of deplorations in verse on great personages for sale in the
streets: see an example of his verse of this description under November 1695. He
seems also to have been the author of Husbandry Anatomised, or an Enquiry into
the Present Manner of Tilling and Manuring the Ground in Scotland, 12mo, 1697;
and of A Picktooth for Swearers, or a Looking-glass for Atheists and Profane
Persons, &c., small 4to, 1698. See Scottish Elegiac Verses, with Notes, 1847.

257. The irascible temper of Fletcher is well known, and his slaughter of an
associate in the Monmouth expedition is a historical fact. A strange story is told of
him in Mrs Calderwood of Polton’s account of her journey in Holland (Coltness
Collections). ‘Salton,’ she says, ‘could not endure the smoke of toback, and as he
was in a night-scoot [in Holland] the skipper and he fell out about his forbidding
him to smoke. Salton, finding he could not hinder him, went up and sat on the
ridge of the boat, which bows like an arch. The skipper was so contentious that he
followed him, and on whatever side Salton sat, he put his pipe in the check next
him, and whiffed in his face. Salton went down several times and brought up
stones in his pocket from the ballast, and slipped them into the skipper’s pocket
that was next the water, and when he found he had loadened him as much as
would sink him, he gives him a shove, so that over he hirsled. The boat went on,
and Salton came down among the rest of the passengers, who probably were
asleep, and fell asleep among the rest. In a little time, bump came the scoot against
the side, on which they all damned the skipper; but, behold, when they called,
there was no skipper; which would breed no great amazement in a Dutch
company.’
