48 THE LAIRDS OF GLENLYON.
Immediately after the battle of Killiecrankie, when neutrals
and foes dreaded alike the depredations and vengeance of
the victorious clans, the Laird obtained the following pro-
tection from Cannan, the successor of Dundee, which, from
motives of delicacy in allowing him to choose his own
party, is granted in name of his wife, but is addressed " To
the Laird of Glenlyon," and runs thus : —
" Thes are discharging all, upon sight heirof, from troubling,
molesting, wronging, or injurying the person of- Helen Linsay, Lady
Glenlyon, hir Bairnes, or servants, or annie goods or gear properlie
belonging to hir self ; and whoever contravein, shall not only repair
the damadge, bot shall be punised according to justice. Given under
my hand at lochend, the second day off Agust, j m - vi c - and eightie-
nein, H. W. Canan."
Appended is a note from the Laird of M'Naughton : —
" Cussen — I received yours, and have proquired this above-written
protection, and what service I can doe you, or your familie, shall not be
omitted by him who is your most affectionate Cussen & Servant,
"J. M'Nachtan.
" Pray haste to the stander with all your men."
We shall see hereafter how far this protection availed for
the purpose for which it was granted.
