Lutork marled Bendita.
Ferguse the first, at his coming into Ol-
bion, after he had in honour of his prede-
cessor Gathelus given unto his landing-place
the name of Argile, and called the whole
country he was to possess, Scotland, after
the Scotobrigants, (by Seneca in his Satyrs
called Scutobrigantes, by a Dorick dialect,
for Scotobrigantes, from Brigansa, a town
in Galicia, now called Compostella, which
the Scots of old both built and inhabited ;
he likewise giveth them the epithet of Cae-
rulei, because, in my opinion, the most of
the inhabitants there were accustomed, even
then, to the wearing of blew caps,) after the
Scotogalli, of whom our Scots-Irish lan-
guage is termed Galick, as they from Gali-
cia, and lastly, after those that had the sur-
name of Scot, without any other designation.
He gave in marriage to Lutork »$ox"V r< ^'>
the captain general of all his forces, because
of his dexterity both in the Macedonian and
Romish discipline of war, his own sister
Bendita ; for which cause, the river upon
whose bank the promise was made, hath
ever since been called Vrquhart ; and the
valley, or glen as they term it there, where
the marriage was consummated, Glen- Vr-
quhart, or Glenurchi, and that in honour
of the Odocharties, Ochonchars, Clanrurie,
Scotobrigants, Clanmolinespick, and Esor-
mon, who were all of them Lutork's prede-
cessors, and surnamed Vrquharts. This
Lutork, besides his own ancient inheritance
from Cromartie to castle Vrquhart inclusive,
