{14} Lennox in Pitcairn, ii. 171-174.

{18} The description is taken from diagrams in Pitcairn, derived from a
local volume of Antiquarian Proceedings. See, too, _The Muses'
Threnodie_, by H. Adamson, 1638, with notes by James Cant (Perth, 1774),
pp. 163, 164.

{19} Pitcairn, ii. 199.

{23} The evidence of these witnesses is in Pitcairn, ii. 171-191.

{28} Cranstoun's deposition in Pitcairn, ii. 156, 157. At Falkland
August 6.

{30} The adversaries of the King say that these men ran up, and were
wounded, _later_, in another encounter. As to this we have no evidence,
but we have evidence of their issuing, wounded, from the dark staircase
at the moment when Cranstoun fled thence.

{38} Quoted by Pitcairn, ii. 209. The Falkland letter, as we show
later, was probably written by David Moysie, but must have been, more or
less, 'official.' Cf. p. 100, _infra_.

{58} Mr. Scott suggested that a piece of string was found by Balgonie.
The words of Balgonie are 'ane gartane'--a garter. He never mentions
string.

{59} According to a story given by Calderwood, Ruthven's sword was later
found rusted in its sheath, but no authority is given for the tale.

{61b} Mr. Barbe, as we saw, thinks that Robertson perjured himself, when
he swore to having seen Henderson steal out of the dark staircase and
step over Ruthven's body. On the other hand, Mr. Bisset thought that
