P. 120. “ The vestiges of Tiber Castle, which has
been a large building, are to be seen on the banks
of the Nith. A small part of the wall next the river
remains; fosses are visible, and some entrenchments
where it was most accessible. It is supposed that
the barony of Tiber is named from Tiber or Tibe¬
rius. There is a Roman encampment too. The
English had a garrison in this castle in the time of
Sir William Wallace, who took it by surprise.”
Stat. Acc. P. of Penpont, i. 209.
P. 121. “ Richard Lundie, Louden, or London,
was a powerful baron in the shire of Fife. He
brought five hundred men to Wallace’s aid in the
encounter with Macfadyen, near Craigmore, in Perth¬
shire. Lundie, having become dissatisfied with some
of the Scottish leaders, was on the English side in
the battle of Stirling bridge, September 11, 1297.”
Notes to the Perth edition of Wallace.

was Earnside wood, where Wallace defeated the Eng¬
lish. It was anciently four miles in length, and
three in breadth; now there is nothing but some
few shrubs to the east of the abbey.” Sibbald's Hist,
of Fife.
