As the authentic Profe hiftory of the Whiftle is curious, we fhall here
fubjoin it. _In the train of Anne, Princefs of Denmark, when ihe came to Scot-
-land with her hufband, Janes the Sixth, there came over alfo a Danifh gentle-
-man of gigantic Stature and great prowefs,and a matchlefs devotee of Bacchus.
He had a curious ebony Ca' or Whiftle, which, at the beginning of the
orgies he laid on the table, and whoever was laft able to blow theWhifile,
■every body elfe being difabled by the potency of the bottle, was to carry
off the Whiftle as a trophy of victory. The Dane produced credentials of
his victories, without a fingle defeat, at the courts of Copenhagen, Stock-
-holm, Mofcow, Warfaw, and feveral of the petty courts of Germany; and
challenged the Scotifh Bacchanalians to the alternative of trying his prowefs,
or elfe of acknowledging their inferiority. _ After many overthrows on the
part of the Sco+a the Dane was encountered by Sir Robert I owrie of Max-
-wclton, anoefror to the prtfent Sir Robert, who after three days fc nights
Claret -fried, left 'he fcand;navian dead_drunk,"And blew on the Whiftle
his requiem fhri II'.' Sir Walter Lowrie, fon to Sir Robert before menti-
oned, afterwards loft the VHnftle to Walter Riddel of Glenriddel, who
had married the filter of Sir Walter. -On Friday, the Sixteenth of
October 1790, the VVt Iftle was once more contended for, as related in
the Ballad, by the prefenl Sir Robert Lowrieof Maxwelton; Rob! Riddel
EfqV of Glenriddel, lineal defcendant and reprefentative of Walter Riddel
who won the Whiftle, and in whole Family it had continued; and Alex F
Fergufon EfqT of Craigdarroch, like wife dtfeended of the great Sir
Robeit, which laf' gentleman carried off the hard-won honors of the
Field. __-_.^^-^___»______—
