PREFACE.

THE gradual collection of the papers brought together in this
volume has been a task extending over many years. In
presenting it to the Members of the Scottish Record Society I
have to express my indebtedness to several friends for valuable
co-operation and help. In the first place my gratitude is due
to Mr. George Newton, who has been for many years factory
clerk with Messrs. Davidson and Syme, W.S., for permission
given in 1896 to the late Rev. Walter MacLeod to make,
on my behalf, a copy of the Inveuyne Inventory. At that
time I contemplated writing a " Book of the Clan Lamont," and the
inclusion of the Inveryne Inventory was essential to my plan. It
has now seemed better to let the original documents speak for them-
selves, but the importance of the Inventory remains. It is entitled
"An Inventarie of the Wrytes and Evidents belonging to
Archibald Lamont of that Ilk," and appears to have been compiled
about the year 1750. Its contents cover the period between 1309
and 1735. In 1902 Mr. Newton further granted to my reverend
friend access to the Inveryne Charters themselves, for comparison
with the Inventory, and for making fresh abstracts where desirable.
Like all the work of that most competent antiquary, these commis-
sions were admirably carried out. Abstracts of the more important
documents were made, and checked with the corresponding entries
in the Inventory. Mr. MacLeod reported, " The Inventory is pretty
full and exact, and contains descriptions of some papers not now in
the collection. The bulk of the Charters are, however, in utter con-
fusion, and not at all in the order of the Inventory. Some of them,
moreover, are not quite legible, and some of the dates have been
wrongly given."

In the present volume, where any of the Charters have been
printed in an extended form, the corresponding excerpt from the
Inventory has been omitted, and its existence indicated by the
number of the shuttle, bundle and series. Thus — (Inv. I. ii. 8.)

In arranging the papers for this collection, it seemed expedient
to depart from the system adopted in the original Inventory, wherein
all writs relating to any particular parcel of land are classified

seriatim. The majority of those who have occasion to use this book
will do so for purposes connected with genealogical research, and to
them chronological sequence facilitates work. The minority inter-
ested in studying the progress of lands, on the other hand, may
achieve their object by reference to the Table on page x., and to
the corresponding headings in the text.

The Knockdow Inventory was made for me by Mr. MacLeod
from the charters themselves ; he sent me the abstracts of the
Argyle Sasines, and in many other ways assisted me in my work.

As to the contents of the papers, perhaps the most important
result of their examination is the discovery of the missing Clan
Sorley or Somairle. Skene, on page 340 of vol. iii. of his " Celtic
Scotland," remarks that this clan, whose genealogy he quotes on page
474 from theMSS. of 1467, " has not yet been identified." It may
now be definitely placed as that sept of the Clan Lamont which had
settled in the district of Glassary, to the north of Loch Gilp. The
sept comprised two principal families, viz. the MacSorles or Lamonts
of Monydrain, and of Auchinbreck. For fully five hundred years
the family of Monydrain held the lands which had belonged to their
ancestor Duncan, son of Ferchar, who in 1270 granted to the
Monastery of Paisley the penny-land of Kilmory, near Loch Gilp.
Of Somairle or Somerled, the eponymous ancestor himself, we have no
charter evidence, but he was almost certainly the son of Angus, son
of Duncan, who are both omitted from the MSS., though they appear
in the Paisley charters. In the Charter of 1410 (No. 22, infra) of the
lands of Achachois, forming part of the Monydrain estate, the name
Celestin Augustij is' an obvious misreading for Celestin Angusij, who
is identical with the Gyllaspic Angusson mentioned in No. 24. These
names tally with those in the MSS. of 1467 ; while Donald M'Cowirlee
(Exchequer Eolls of 1451, No. 34, infra) is evidently the son and
successor of the said Celestin. The full genealogy of Clan Sorley
would then run : — Donald (1451) son of Celestin, son of Angus, son
of Donald, son of Somerled [son of Angus, son of Duncan], son of
Ferchar, son of Dunslebhe. Next to Donald of 1451 we find Ewen
M'Sorle, dead in 1511, after which every step is proved.

The Duke of Argyll, writing on this subject in the "Celtic
Keview" for April, 1914, points out that the M'Sorleys "knew well
enough that they were descended from a common ancestor with the
Lamonts, and both for some generations bore the patronymic
MacFhearchair, from Ferchar the son of Dunslebhe, son of Aedh
Alain, yet when Lamont or Lawmont crystallised as the clan name "
the M'Sorleys, " even though derived from a generation older than
Sir Lagmann of 1269, did not hesitate to adopt that surname

Preface. vii

ultimately, however long they may have clung to their sept-name
before doing so."

The Norse etymology of the name Lamont may now also be con-
sidered as definitely established. If anyone, undaunted by the initial
obstacle of making a feminine article agree with a masculine noun,
be still disposed to follow Thomas Smibert in deriving Lamont
from the French La Mont, the cogent reasoning of Henderson's
" Norse Influence on Celtic Scotland " should convince him of error.
The derivation from the Norse Lagman is finally confirmed by the
retention of the letter G in the name in documents so late as 1290
(No. 6, infra), 1295 (No. 10), 1356 (No. 16), 1358 (No. 17), 1397 (No.
19), and even 1440 (No. 26).

This collection in no way claims to be exhaustive. Mere legends
and traditions have been omitted as more suitable to a " Book of the
Clan " than to an " Inventory of Papers." The departures, arrivals,
and other trivial incidents of every-day life, reoorded in John
Lamont's "Diary," have not been included. The long and generally
accurate pedigree in Macfarlane's "Genealogical Collections" could
scarcely be entered under any particular date. It was deemed
discreet not to drag the doings of certain members of the Fife branch
of the clan fiom the decent darkness of the St. Andrew's Kirksession
Eegister. In later times the " Scots Magazine " and the " Gentleman's
Magazine " provide a rich harvest of births, deaths, and marriages.
Scott's " Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanse " indicates a wide field of research,
even now being more deeply tilled. And there are many other
sources of information.

My justification for venturing to present this collection to the
Scottish Record Society is the scantiness of public records relating
to the West Highlands, as compared with other regions nearer to the
great centres of Scottish national life. There is, indeed, a consider-
able mass of County Records in the Court House at Inveraray.
Their contents are largely unknown ; and they have never even been
catalogued. Apart from them, the material for the future historian of
Argyllshire lies hidden in the charter-chests of the old territorial
families. This fact, and the long period during which the Clan
Lamont have held land in Cowal and Glassary, may perhaps lend a
continuous thread of interest to my lengthy series of documents.

To the Duke of Argyll I am indebted for sending to me, from his
great collection at Inveraray, abstracts of many and important papers
relating to the history of my clan, and appearing in the present
volume. And I am grateful for having been permitted constantly to
consult His Grace's unrivalled knowledge of Argyllshire genealogies
and topography.

viii Preface.

To the Authors and Publishers of " The Castellated and Domestic
Architecture of Scotland " I am indebted for permission to reproduce
the instructive description, appearing on page 408, of the ruins of
Toward Castle.

Members of the Scottish Eecord Society will not need to be told
of the ready help and courtesy accorded to me by our Secretary, Mr.
John Macgregor. I fear that I have made unusual drafts upon
his patience, by reason of the slow progress of these papers through
the press. Those drafts have always been met in full. And I now
thank him.

An Index will be printed and circulated as soon as possible.

" Clement, Bishop, servant of the servants of God, to his beloved sons,
the Abbot of the Monastery of St. James, and St. Mirin, Confessor of
Paisley, and the brethren there, and in all time coming, following the monastic
life,

" It is proper that the Apostolic protection be given to those choosing a
religious life, lest, perchance, any indiscretion either draw them off from
their purpose or — which heaven forbid — impair the strength of their sacred
vows. Wherefore, beloved sons in the Lord, we mercifully assent to your
just demands, and receive the Monastery of St. James the Apostle, and St.
Mirin, the Confessor of Paisley, in the diocese of Glasgow, in which you are
vowed to divine obedience, under the protection of St. Peter and our own,
and fortify this ordinance by the present writing. In the first place, we
ordain that the monastic order which, it is known, was instituted in that
Monastery according to God, the rule of St. Benedict, and of the Cluniac
brethren, be observed there inviolably in all time coming. Moreover, let
whatever property and whatever goods the said Monastery may at present
justly and canon ically possess, or can in future acquire by the concession of
Popes, the bounty of kings or princes, the oblation of the faithful, or in
other just methods, by the favour of God, remain sure and inalienable to you
and to your successors : of which things we have reckoned the following
worthy of express mention : — The place in which the said Monastery is
situated, with all its pertinents, and the chapel of Lochwynoc, with its perti-
nents ; the Churches of lnnerwyc, of Lygadwod, of Katcart, of Rughglen, of
Curmanoc, of Polloc, of Merness, of Neilston, of Kylberhan, of Hestwod, of
Howston, of Kylhelan, of Harskyn, of Kilmacolm, of Innerkyp, of Largyss,
of Prestwic burgh, of the other Prestwic, of Cragyn, of Turnebery, of Dun-
donald, of Schanher, of Haucynlec, of Kylpatrik, of Neyt (Rosneath), of
Kyllynan, of Kylkeran, of St. Colmanel of Scybinche, with chapels, lands,
and pertinents ; the Chapel of Kylmor, at Kenlochgilpe, with its pertinents ;
and the land which umquhile Duncan, son of Ferchard, and Lauman, his
kinsman (consanguineus), gave to the Monastery there ; and that whole land
lying on both sides of the Kert, as the late Walter Fitz Alan, Steward of the
King of Scotland, founder of the Monastery himself bestowed it.

Let no one presume to demand or extort from you tithes of your newly-
reclaimed lands which you cultivate with your own hands, or at your own
charges, of which no one has hitherto received tithes, nor from your animals'
food. It shall be lawful also for you to receive as converts, free and un-
fettered, clerical or lay, persons fleeing from the world, and to retain them
without any contradiction. However, we forbid any of your brethren, after
making his profession in your Monastery, to depart thence without leave of
his abbot, unless he join a stricter Order. But let no one dare to detain a
person departing without authority of your common letters. It also shall be
lawful for you, when a general interdict is laid on the land, provided that
you yourselves do not give cause of interdict, to perform divine services,
with shut doors, and having excluded excommunicated and interdicted
persons, but with suppressed voice and without ringing of bells. You will
receive also chrism, holy oil, consecration of your altars and churches, the
ordination of priests for administering rites, from the bishop of the diocese,
if he is Catholic ami has the favour and communion of the Holy Eoman See,
and is willing honestly to give them to you. We forbid anyone to dare to
build chapel or oratory within the bounds of your parishes without your
consent and that of the bishop of the diocese, reserving the privileges of the
Roman Pontiffs. We prohibit entirely to be made against you all new and
unjust exactions by archbishops, bishops, archdeacons, deans, and all ecclesi-
astical or secular persons. We decree also the burial ground of that place to
be free : that no one resist the burial of those who, in their devotion or by
their last will, have desired to be buried there, unless they are interdicted, or
excommunicated, or public usurers, saving the just rights of those churches
by whom the bodies of the dead are claimed. You are also permitted by our
authority to recall to the use of the churches to whom they belong the tithes
and possessions pertaining to your churches, which are detained by laymen,
and to redeem and lawfully to free them from their hands. And when you,
Abbot of this place, or any of your successors, go away, no one shall be
placed there by cunning or by violence, except by consent of the majority of
the brethren or wiser part, according as the election is provided by God and
the rule of St. Benedict. We, wishing with paternal solicitude for the future
to provide also for your peace and tranquillity, prohibit by apostolic authority,
within the enclosures of your places or granges, all rapine or theft, fire-raising,
blood-shedding, rash seizure or slaying of men, or exercise of violence.
Moreover, we confirm all the liberties and immunities made to your
Monastery by our predecessors, the Roman Pontiffs; also liberties and ex-
emptions from secular exactions granted you for good reason by kings or
princes, or by others of the faithful, and we fortify this privilege by this
writing. We therefore decree that it shall not be lawful for anyone soever
rashly to disturb the said Monastery, or to take away any of its possessions,
or to retain them when taken away, to diminish them, or to annoy it by any
vexatious acts ; but that all things which have been granted for any future
purpose whatsoever, shall be preserved entire for the discipline and mainten-
ance of its inmates, reserving the authority of the Holy See and the bishop
of the diocese. If, therefore, in future any secular or ecclesiastical person,
knowing this writ of our constitution, shall attempt rashly to contravene it,
let him, after being twice or thrice admonished (unless he shall atone for his
fault by a suitable satisfaction), be deprived of the dignity of his power and
honour, and let him know that he stands charged by Divine justice with the
iniquity so committed, and let him be cut off from the most sacred Body and
Blood of our God and Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, and let him lie

under his severe vengeance at the last judgment. But on all who shall pre-
serve for the said place its rights let the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ rest,
so that here they may receive the fruit of their good deeds, and obtain at the
hands of the Eighteous Judge the reward of eternal peace. Amen." — Bull
of Pope Clement IV., 1265.

CONFIRMATION of the Church of Kyllinan by Engus, son of

Duncan.

"To all the faithful of Christ who will hear of, or see, this present deed.
Engus, son of Duncan, son of Ferkar, eternal salvation in the Lord.

"Know all of you, that I have examined the charter of the said Duncan,
my father, and Lauman, his nephew, sealed with their seals not erased nor
vanished nor become illegible from age — without defect — without damage in
any of its parts as follows : —

" ' To all the sons of Holy Mother Church, as well present as future,
Duncan, son of Ferkar, Lauman, son of Malcolm, and nephew of said
Duncan, eternal salvation in the Lord. Know ye that we have given,
granted, and by this our present charter confirmed, to God and Saint James
and Saint Mirin of Paisley, and to the monks there serving God, in pure
and perpetual alms, the church of Kyllinan, with all its just pertinents, and
with the whole right which belonged to us in the said Church, in respect
of the patronage. We have also given and granted to them the penny land
of Kilmor, which lies above Lochgilp, with the chapel of Saint Mary, built
on the said land. Further, we have given and granted to the aforesaid,
from motives of piety, those three half-penny lands which we and our
ancestors had at Kilmun, with the fishings, and all other their just per-
tinents and pendicles, and with the whole right which belonged to us in
respect of the patronage. To be held and possessed as freely and peaceably
as they hold and possess other charitable bequests given to them.'

" This gift and bequest I, Engus, holding to be firm and valid, grant, and,
by this my present charter, confirm to the aforesaid Abbot and Convent
all the foresaid things or premises, for me and my heirs, so far as they relate
to us or may relate to us. Those things being excepted which belong to the
foresaid Lauman, or to his heirs, or may belong to them, of the foresaids.
To be held and possessed in all time in pure and perpetual alms, free and
released from all secular service and demands, as freely and peaceably as
any alms in the kingdom of Scotland may be held and possessed. Both I
and my heirs shall warrant and defend our grants, as far as belong to us, or
can belong to us, for the forenamed Abbot and Convent as afore written,
in all, through all, and against all. And, lest that should perish in dark
oblivion which has been done by me in holy devotion, for greater testimony
I have caused the seal of the venerable father Lord Laurence, Bishop of
Argyll, together with the seals of Mr. Walter Mortimer, Dean of Glasgow,
of Sir Eobert, Treasurer of the same place, with the impression of my own
seal, to be attached to this present document.

" Given at Paisley, on the Tuesday succeeding the invention of the holy
cross in the year of Grace 1270, these being witnesses: — Mr. Adam, of

peaceable possession and sasine of the penny land of Kilmor, near Loch-

advantage. In testimony thereof at my instance, to this deed is attached
the seal of the reverend father Lord Laurence, Bishop of Argyll, together
with my own seal.

CHARTER of the Halfpenny land belonging to the Church of Kyllinan,
granted by Malcolm, son and heir of Lauman.

" To all the faithful of Christ who will see or hear this deed, Malcolm,
son and heir of the late Sir Lauman, eternal happiness in the Lord.

" Know, all of you, that I, for myself and my heirs, for the salvation of
the souls of my forefathers, have given, granted, and confirmed to God, and
to Saint James, and to Saint Mirin of Paisley, and to the monks there
serving or who may serve God in all time coming, for pure and perpetual
alms, the halfpenny land belonging to the church of Kyllinan, with the
right of patronage of said church, together with every other right belonging
to the above-mentioned land and church, or which can by law at any time
belong to them, and with every other privilege which is or had been vested
in me and my heirs in said land and church, with all thereto belonging,
or which at any time or by any other right will be vested in all time
to come. And that those things already said, all and singly, may in all
time coming, have force and perpetual validity, I have to the present
deed attached my seal, and because my seal is less known I have caused
the seal of Lord James, Steward of Scotland, to be attached to these
presents.

" Given at Paisley, on the day of Sabbath, on the morrow of Saint Mary
Magdalene, in the year of Grace, 1295, the following being witnesses : — Mr.

James, Steward of Scotland, perpetual vicar of Kyllinan ; Alpin MacDonald ;

46. INSTRUMENT of the Church of Saint Finan, between the Abbot and
Convent of Paisley, and John Lawmund.

"In the name of God. Amen.

"By the tenor of this public document, to the everlasting remembrance
of the matter, lest by the lapse of ages that perish from memory, which
from motives of charity has been piously bestowed on the holy places and
the ministers of God successively by the faithful in Christ, and by the
posterity of these faithful confirmed, strengthened and newly approved and
ratified to the praise of Almighty God, and to the extension of divine
worship, in order that the servants of God themselves may the more quietly
rejoice in the things which they have justly acquired.

" Be it evident and known to all, both now and in time to come, that in
the year 1466, from the incarnation of our Lord, on the 5th day of the
month of August, in the 14th indiction, in the 2nd year of the most
holy pontificate of our Lord and Father in Christ, Paul II., by the provi-
dence of God, Pope, in the presence of our notaries and witnesses herein-
after subscribed : Henry, the reverend Father in Christ, by the will of God
abbot of the monastery of Paisley and the convent thereof, of the one part,
and a noble man John Lawmund of that Ilk, of the other, being met together,
as is written below, and personally 'set together, between which parties a
law suit was carried on for a long time in former days, concerning the
right of the patronage of the Church Saint Finan of Killenan, in the diocese
of Argyle, in virtue of the Commission and of the Papal Kescript addressed
to certain delegated judges, and lately obtained by John himself from the
Papal See, and the question arising being still undecided, and certain
evidence, allegations, and strong reasons which these parties themselves
wish to use, having been already produced in court : At length the Father
having offered the first-fruits in Christ, to set at rest and to terminate
the aforesaid question, that had sprung up, without the noise of trial, lest
the parties themselves making themselves miserable in the premises, should
be wearied with too much labour and expense, and lest hurtful differences
and future disagreements should follow between them : set forth and
produced each and every letter, charter, muniment, grant, donation, and con-
firmation of the foresaid church of Saint Finan of Killenane, given, made,
and disponed by the predecessors and forefathers of worthy memory of the
foresaid John Lawmund, to the abbot and convent then serving God,
and that will serve Him for ever, for the praise of God, and the
extension of divine worship : and moreover, he set forth and exhibited
the confirmations, royal, papal and episcopal, of certain popes of the
Holy Koman Church, of ordinary bishops, and renowned and illustrious
Scottish kings, all to the foresaid John Lawmund to consult and inform
himself more effectually for ending litigation and strife, as a true
lover of peace : all which having seen and understood fully, after mature
deliberation, having taken counsel of his honourable and wise friends,
the said John Lawmund has considered, fully weighed and acknowledged
that he himself, and his heirs have no right nor any title of right,
nor any interest whatsoever, in the patronage of the said church of Saint
Finan, nor can aspire to nor aim at it. Wherefore John himself, no wise
entrapped, but as is right to believe, piously and healthfully reflecting
and revolving in his own mind how wicked it is to harass the servants

of God unjustly, by toils and expense or otherwise to deprive them of their
just possessions, has of his own pure and free will, yielded up and renounced
forever, entirely, and wholly, this suit and cause between himself and the
said Abbot and Convent, regarding the right of patronage of the said Church
with each and all its pertinents and pendicles, and with every right and
semblance of right, which John himself did, or does, or may in future
possess, in and to the patronage of the said church of Saint Finan, entirely
and altogether. And if right has fallen or may fall in time coming to John
himself, or to his heirs and successors, he has given, granted and transferred
it from himself to the foresaid abbot and convent. And further, the said
John Lawmund has approved, confirmed, and ratified all and sundry the
charters, letters, evidences, gifts, and confirmations, as aforesaid to the above
abbot ami convent in respect of said things given, granted, and disponed by
his predecessors and forefathers in name of himself, and of his heirs. Of
all which Henry the abbot, the reverend father in Christ, having given the
first-fruits, has sought from us the public notaries mentioned hereinafter,
that public instrument and instruments should be made for himself and
for his convent. These were made in the chief church of the* monastery of
Paisley in the year, month, day, indiction and pontificate, as above
stated, in presence of the reverend, noble and wise men : — Robert the prior,
Andrew the sub-prior, and several other brethren, monks of the monastery of
Paisley, James Hammylton of Torrens, George Walessof Elyrislie (Elderslie),
John Knok of that Ilk, John Hammylton of Kyngishalche, James Campbel,
son and heir apparent of Sir John Canbell, Lord of Lowdon ; John Sympill,
Patrick Lawmund, Duncan Lawmund, brother of said John Lawmund, and
Duncan, son of Gilbert, Esquires, witnesses to the foresaids, with many
others equally called and required, and myself, John Miryngton, a presbyter
of the Diocese of Glasgow, a public notary of imperial authority, who was
present at the foresaid right, litigation, cause, cession, and renunciation,
gift, grant, and transference of right, and at the ratification of these letters
and charters, ami all others, while they were done and carried on as said
above, as forewritten, along with the aftermentioned notary and the fore-
named witnesses, and saw and heard these things so done, took them to
note, from which I have completed, written, and published the present
public instrument, and have reduced it to this public form, and signed the
same with my usual seal and subscription and name, as required in testimony
of what is aforewritten.

"And further, whereas I, James Learmonth, vicar of Renfrew, in the
Diocese of Glasgow, a public notary of imperial authority, was personally
present while all and sundry of the foresaids, as aforewritten, were being
transacted, said and done, along with the notary and witnesses underwritten,
and whereas I saw them so finished and heard, and took a note of them,
therefore the present instrument faithfully written by the hand of the
preceding notary, I have, when called on, finished with my usual seal, sub-
scription and name, in proof and testimony of the truth of all the foresaids."

ing and sustaining for ever one chaplain to celebrate divine service for the
soul of Ewen son of Fynlay in the Kirk of St. Fynan there, and that the
said land was for many years in possession of the chaplain there celebrating,
by no just title, beyond the said possession alienated, straitly commanding
and charging thee, that thou do without delay, cause Issabell, daughter
and heir of James son of the said Ewen to be put in heritable and peaceable
possession for ever of the said pennyworth of land of Achagangaill with the
commodities and pertinents thereof, for finding and sustaining by her and
her heirs one chaplain for ever to celebrate mass in the said Kirk of Saint

1 Cursing or excommunication was the first step in a process whereby creditors were
subjected to legal execution against person and property. The procedure and its effect
are graphically described by Dr. J. Hill Burton in his History of Scot/and., vol. iii.
p. 316 et seq. At the dawn of the Reformation the censures of the Church were begin-
ning to lose weight, and in 1535 an Act of Parliament (c. 3, p. 342) was passed to secure
stringent enforcement of the civil penalties against transgressors. The Act proceeds on
the narrative that " the dampnable persuasions of heretiekes and their perversit doctrine
gevis occasioun to lychthly the processe of cursing and utheris cunsuris of haliekirk."

231. Gregor Mor MacGregor of Breachly, in Glenurchy, second son of John
MacGregor lived circa 1460-1513. His third son, Malcolm MacGregor,
married a daughter of Dugal Lamont of Stiolaig, by a daughter of the family
of Bute, and had several children.

Douglas' Baronage.

232. Confirms the above, adding that Malcolm " was in great esteem with the
Earl of Marr. He raised his patrimony, and acquired the lands of Inveray,
with several others, in Braemar, where he settled." (A marginal note states
that this marriage is quoted from an MS. History of the MacGregor
families settled in Braemar by Mr. John Gregory : [probably the Rev. John
Gregory of Drumoak, who died in 1652.])

As the only Dugald Lamont of Stilaig married Margaret Stuart of Bute in 1695, the
lady who married Malcolm MacGregor can only have been a daughter of Archibald
Lamont, first of Stilaig. who married Elizabeth Stewart circa 1540. But I have found
no evidence of the MacGregor-Lamont marriage. — Ed.

number of sorners of clans of the highlands and isles next adjacent, they
had obtained letters charging Dougall to answer before the King and
Council. He had not appeared. On 18 May last the King had urged
both parties to subscribe a submission. This had been done with all the
solemnities requisite, and with appointment of days and places of meet-
ing for settling their quarrels. But Campbell, " resolving to persist in
his accustomat wicked trade." had not only suffered the diet to desert,
but had, in November last, convocated 1500 men in arms, furnished with
hagbuts and pistolets, most of them Archibald, Earl of Ergyll's men, and
had come with them to the coast side, opposite to the isle of Bute, in-
tending to invade the complainers with fire and sword. He had sent
across into the island 30 of the " maist disordourit lymmaris of his haill
oist," who shot certain sheep, and committed other insolenceis." The
complainers then sent to the Earl. The Earl had then commanded
Campbell to dissolve his forces, and had promised that there should be
no new attack on the complainers till matters were otherwise "packit
up." But, upon 19 November last, the said Laird of Auchinbrek, ac-
companied by Donnald Campbell of Duntrune, Coline Campbell of

Parbrek, Archibald Campbell (? Lamont) of Silvercraigis, Campbell

younger of Inverlevair, Coline Campbell apparent of Kilberrie, Donnald
Campbell brother of Auchinbrek, Johnne Lawmont, son of the late
Watty Lawmont of Achogill, and others, with convocation of " brokin
heyland men," to the number of 1200 men in arms, most of them being
Ergyll's men, and specially instigated by the Earl, entered the said Isle
at night, armed with hagbuts and pistolets. Once in the Island, they
began their reif upon the premises of Marione Stewart, a poor widow,
whose husband had been before slain by some of their friends. They
raised fire on her ground, burnt her corns, spuilyied from her and her
tenants all the goods on her lands, including the £10 land of Wester
Karnes, so that she and her tenants were *'dampnifeit" in lOOOmerks.
They then passed to the Sheriff's lands of Ardmoleis, where they burnt a
great part of the corns thereof, destroying corns in Myris, assaulting the
tenants, spuilying their houses, and killing 7 or 8 sheep. They also reft
furth of the Sheriff's lands of Inchemernok ten sheep, a fat cow, and
plenishing worth £20; from Johnne Stewart, tenant, plenishing worth
£20: and from Donnald Drenzie victual worth £20. They took away
with them the "haill plew irnis," intending thereby to lay the lands
waste. They reft from the King's own feuars and tenants in Bute their

1 603-1604] Inventory of Lamont Papers. 121

whole insight, victual, and " plew irnis," together with 100 sheep ; and
they took from Mr. Robert Steuart, minister at Rothesay, 3 chalders of
victual, and left him nothing whereon to live. In short, their reifs and
depredations have been such that, unless complainers have protection,
they will not be able to pay the maills and fermes due to his Highness,
and will have to leave their lands waste.

Charge had been given to the defenders above-written (except Dun-
trune and Parbrek) to answer, and to the Earl of Ergyll to enter Camp-
bell of Auchinbrek; and now, the Sheriff of Bute appearing for himself
and the other complainers, but none of the defenders appearing, the order
is to denounce the Earl of Ergyll and the other defenders.

Letters of Suspension at the instance of Archibald Lord of Lome

601. superior of the lands underwritten against James Lamount of Inverrin,
alleging himself to be served and retoured heir to the late Sir Coill
Lamont of Inverrin, Knight, his father, in the six merk land of Auchti-
thewine and four merk land of Karnes of old extent, with their perti-
nents, lying within the parish of Killinane, lordship of Cowal, and sheriff-
dom of Argyle, has thereupon purchased precepts of Chancery, by virtue
of which he has caused require the said Lord Lome or his deputes as
sheriff deputes of Argyle, to infeft and seize him as heir aforesaid, in the
aforesaid lands, holden of the crown : and for alleged nonobedience of
the said requisitions the said James Lamont intends to cause purchase
warrants to be directed to the director of Chancery for giving Precepts
and Warrants to the said sheriffs and his deputes to infeft the said James
Lamont in the lands aforesaid : most wrongously for these reasons, viz :

1638] Inventory of Lamont Papers. 177

1. Because, the said James Lamont in October last dealt with the said
lord to infeft him in these lands, as heir foresaid, and promised to pro-
duce and show to him his whole old infeftments of the lands, and show
them to the said sherifl before he should crave the King's precept of
Clare Constat, yet the said James Lamont refuses and postpones to show
the said infeftments. 2. The requisitions aforesaid are wrongly made,
because they are formed by way of Instrument, but the notary therein
had no precuratory from the party, so the requisitions are null of the
law. 3. Because the said requisitions are wrongly made, becaus the
ground whereon they proceed is a service led before the Lords of Council
and their macers, at the instance of the said James Lamont which service
was quietly conveyed and stolen through without lawful warning or com-
pearance of a defender, whereas if the brieves of service had been pro-
claimed the said Lord Lome would have compeared by his procurators,
with sufficient reasons to have stopped the same, the said Lord Lome
himself standing infeft in the said lands. On which and other accounts,
summonds is hereby given, charging the said James Lamont, and the
director and clerks of Chancery to compear before the Lords of Council
at Edinburgh on 20th February instant bringing with them the afore-
saids Precepts and requisitions and instruments, taken thereon, to be
seen and considered by the said Lords, and to hear and see the same
simpliciter suspended. Signetted 6th February 1638.

614. A curious document entitled "Lawmont's Declaratione," referring
chiefly to his signing a bond of loyalty and " absolute obedience " to His
Majesty, and the transactions thereupon between him and Sir Donald
(Gorm), and also as to a bond to be signed by the Islesmen, as by
M'Leod, Maclean, Seaforth, Captain of Clanronald, which "should make
the Illesmen stand sure to his Majestie, and to his forces, and that they
should be directed to come and invaid Lome, quhile the King's wther
forces should land in Kintyre and Tarbette." He states his desire, and
that of the Sheriff of Bute, to be free of the Earl of Argyll's Justiciary;
about which he had spoken to "the Commissioner," who had promised
that when this country was settled, His Majesty would take order as to
" the enormities," and desired him to be ready to speak against Argyll. He
further refers to a division of the Earl of Argyll's offices, as he had seen a
patent appointing " Sir Donald " Lieutenant of the Isles, and was told
that the Justiciary was promised to Seaforth. " And* lykewyse the said
Sir Donald assured me that he had heard the King sweare that if he
brookit the Crowne, he should ruin the Earl of Argyll, and all that
would stand by him. I heard the Commissioner say that he would never
be ane advyser to His Majestie to invaid us by hostilitie, bot to make show
upon our borderes, that thereby we might be ever in armes, and thereby
consume our meanes and so be impoverished, that so the King might
the more easily obtaine his endes." That Sir Donald had undertaken
to furnish his Majesty with 2000 men "to make service against Scot-
land," if supplied with 1000 stand of arms. He further states that Sir
Donald had "sworne Sir Lauchland Makleane, having layed the Bible
upon his head." He concludes "I heard the Commissioner say that for
the wronges the Earl of Argyll had done to his Majestie in this business,
that if ever he could overtake him in law or otherwayes, that his
Majestie should be equall with him." Not dated, but refers to proceed-
ings which took place in 1639 (the Earl of Traquair being then Lord
High Commissioner).

Norworuall, Advocate, Inveraray, 14 July 1651.

740. Complains of an order passed by the Committee of Estates for citing
the Laird of Ardkinglas and others before them for alleged contravention
of some articles granted to Lammount at the " intaking " of his house
of Toward without any proper summons or charge. The writer warrants
Norworuall to appear for Ardkinglas and the others (the writer includes
himself, though he supposes he was not cited) and urge on the Com-
mittee to allow them a legal summons and proper hearing. He thinks
it extremely hard that men, who had faithfully served the public, should
be called in question by the public for anything they had done against
the rebels. This action appeared to him to be a great discouragement
to honest men.

Inasmuch as it is known to Us that the highly esteemed John Urry,
a Scotsman by birth, a noble knight, Captain of Soldiers and Commander
of the Watch in the armies of our most serene King, etc., and made
known to Us by reason of his strenuous exertions on Our behalf against
the rebels in Our kingdoms of England and Scotland, by whom he was
savagely killed, has left five children driven from the soil of their
fathers and exiles in Germany : Lest to the injury of the said children
of the noble man there may be a failing of the Letters affirming the
evidence of the native nobility of the father, such as were wont to be
set forth in the Chancellery of Scotland before the laws were silenced

ygg On January 23, 1661, there was exhibited to the Parliament of

Scotland a Charge of High- Treason, etc. against Archibald Marquis of
Argyle, which was as follows :

Ireland, Defender of the Faith, To

heralds, pursuivants, and
messengers of arms, respective, conjunctly and severally, specially con-

stituted. greeting. Forsomuch as it is humbly meaned and complained
to us, by our trusty and well-beloved counsellor, sir John Fletcher knight,
our advocate for our interest, in the action under-written ; and by sir
James Lamond of Inneryne knight for himself and in the behalf of his
kindred, friends, vassals, tenants and servants,

parties grieved
and damnified in manner after specified, upon Archibald marquis of
Argyle ; George Campbell, his justice and sheriff deputy ; James Campbell
of Ardkinglas, officer under the said marquis's command ; Colin Campbell
of Straquhir, Duncan Campbell of Ellangreg, officer under the command
of the said marquis; John Campbell fiare of Dunstafneich, officer also
under the said marquis's command ; Dougal Campbell alias Mackconnochie
of Innerraw, officer under the said marquis's command ; Duncan Campbell,
uncle to the laird of Lochnell, officer under the said marquis's command ;
Robert Campbell of Auchinwilling, John Campbell of Ardtariche, Hew
Campbell his son ; Colin Campbell of Otter, Patrick Campbell his
brother; Campbell of Derburgh, Charles Campbell of Ballachyll,

Ewer Campbell of Kilbryd his brother ; Duncan Glassel alias Campbell
in Glendarowell, John Ger Campbell, there ; John Mackeroes, officer to
the said George Campbell, Donald Mackeroes of Glenselloch, Andrew
Macklauchlane, uncle to Archibald Macklauchlane of Lethimoore,
Angus Mackehoernock 1 son to Ewer Mackewernock 1 of Obb, James
Campbell of Ormsay; Dowgald Mackleriche of Bralychane, Duncan
Macknileishe in Escog, Archibald Campbell in Evinnochane, son-in-law
to the said laird of Otter, Mr Colin Mucklawchlane, minister at Loch-
gaylisheid : All or the most part of them, being the said marquis of
Argyle's friends, followers, or complices under his command, and such
as he might have stopt or let.

As also, by the 50 act of the 11 parliament of king James the sixth, it is
statute and ordained, that in case it shall happen, any landed man to
be convicted of the crime of common theft, resort of theft, or stealth,
reift in time coming, they shall incur the crime and pain of treason ;
that is to say, tinsell and forfeiture of life, lands and goods. Likeap, by
the common law and practice of this nation, all committers of murder,
manslaughter, robbery, rapine, or reif; is punishable by death ; and who
are art or part of any such crimes. As also by the same laws, all private
imprisoners, keepers of private prisons, and false imprisoners, and all
oppression whatsoever, are punishable in the like manner.

"Nevertheless the persons above-named complained upon having
laid aside all fear of God, loyalty and obedience to their sovereign lord
and king, natural affection and reciprocal duty to their countrymen and
fellow subjects, have most traitorously, treacherously, perfidiously and
cruelly committed the crimes of high-treason, and other crimes, murders,
oppressions, robberies, misdeeds and malversations under-written, con-
trary to our said laws and acts of parliament ; and thereby have incurred
the respective pains and punishments therein contained.

"Seventhly, Our said deceased sovereign lord, and dearest father,
having granted commission upon the day of March, 1643 years,

under his said majesty's hand, authorising and giving express order to
1 Sic for M'llvernock. — Ed.

the said Sir James Lamond to prosecute a war, and levy forces in his
majesty's name, against those in rebellion, and particularly against the
said marquis of Argyle, and to invade his bounds and lands, as he was
the principal promoter of these odious and rebellious practices against
his majesty's authority, as the said commission by way of a missive letter
directed to the said Sir James at more length bears. In obedience
whereunto the said Sir James, according to his allegiance and bound
duty, levied all his friends and followers, and accordingly acted as
became a good subject in his majesty's service, for promoting whereof,
until the year 1646. That after his majesty's coming to Newcastle, and
casting himself upon the trust of his army lying there, the said Sir James
did then lay down arms, and with his friends retreating in a peaceable
manner to his own houses of Towart and Escog, there being no other
houses for the shelter of his friends, the country having been formerly
wasted and burnt. After which, in the month or there-

about, in the same year, the said defendants, or one or other of them,
being commanded by the said James Campbell of Ardkinglas, Dougall
Campbell of Innerraw, and others their officers, and others under the
said Marquis his command, did in a hostile manner lay siege to the said
two houses, using all manner of violence. And the said Sir James, after
all legal means used for his own defence, did bring them to a treaty
wherein by articles of capitulation they did grant to him, and his said
friends and followers, indemnity in their persons and fortunes, with
power to pass freely where they pleased ; as the said articles, subscribed
by the hands of the said James Campbell of Ardkinglas, Colin Campbell
of Straquhir, John Campbell fiare of Dunstaffneich, Duncan Campbell of
Ellangreg, Dougall Campbell of Innerraw, Duncan Campbell uncle to
the laird of Lochinell and John Macklauchlane fiare of Craigintareiff, of
the date the 3rd day of June, at more length bear ; Nevertheless the
aforesaid persons complained upon, or one or other of them, did most
perfidiously, treacherously, and treasonably, shortly after the said capitu-
lation, plunder the said houses of their whole furniture and goods therein ;
and did rob and take away from the persons within the same, their
whole money and cloaths, did drive their whole cattle of all sorts, which
together with the wastations formerly done by them, to the said Sir
James, his friends, vassals and tenants, did exceed the sum of £50,000
sterling. And in a most cruel and barbarous way, whilst some of his
poor friends were rescuing their own goods, they barbarously murdered
and massacred a number of innocent women, as namely, Marie Gilaspie,
Marione Mackleish, a young maid, Caleoch Breedmachfoyne, Margaret
Crawfurde, and certain others; and inhumanly left their bodies, as a
prey to ravenous beasts and fowls. At the least, the said persons, or
one or other of them, and particularly the said marquis of Argyle, were
authors, actors, aiders, abettors, assisters, contrivers, and art and part
of the said cruel and bloody murders, robberies, oppressions, and other
deeds and malversations above libelled.

"Eighthly, The said persons defendants, shortly after the said
capitulation, and contrary to the same, or one or other of them, and
especially the said James Campbell of Ardkinglas, Dougall Campbell of
Innerraw, Colin Campbell, of Straquhir, Duncan Campbell of Ellangreg,
Duncan Campbell uncle to the laird of Lochnell, John Campbell, fiare
of Dunstaffneich, did most treacherously, perfidiously, and traitorously
fetter and bind the hands of near two hundred persons of the said Sir

1661] Inventory of Lamont Papers. 223

James his friends and followers, who were comprehended within the
said capitulation ; detaining them prisoners with a guard, their hands
being bound behind their backs like thieves, within the said Sir James's
house and yards of Towart, for the space of several days, in great
torment and misery, they being his majesty's free lieges and people.
Likeas most traitorously and perfidiously, contrary to the said capitula-
tion, they did carry the said Sir James Lamond prisoner to the said
house and castle of Escog, and by that means and for fear of the said
Sir James's life, the keepers of the said castle being the said Sir James's
friends and vassals, they did surrender the said house, upon capitulation
of life, fortune and goods; which capitulation was most traitorously and
perfidiously broken. And in pursuance of their further villany, after
plundering and robbing of all that was within and about the said house,
they most barbarously, cruelly and inhumanly murdered several, young
and old, yea suckling children, some of them not one month old. And
further, the said defendants, or one or other of them, and particularly
the aforesaid subscribers, of the said capitulations in the month of
1646 years, did most traitorously and perfidiously carry the whole people
that was within the said house of Escog prisoners, with a guard, to the
said Sir James's house of Towart ; and shortly after their removal from
the said house of Escog, the said defendants, or one or other of them,
caused burn the same, destroying the whole orchards and plantings
about the said house of Escog. And not being content with their
former cruelties, they shortly thereafter carried all the said persons who
were prisoners in both the said houses of Escog and Towart, bound
prisoners (being his majesty's free lieges) to several boats, sending the
said Sir James Lamond, his two brethren, Robert Lamond of Escog,
Patrick Lamond his only son, Duncan Lamond his brother, and John
Lamond of Auchingylle, prisoners to the said George Campbell sheriff-
deputy to the said marquis's house of Innerarey, at which time the said
persons, or one or other of them, most villainously contrary to the said
capitulation, laws, and acts of parliament aforesaid, burnt the said Sir
James Lamond's mansion-house of Towart : Of the which cruel crimes
of treason, murders, fire-raisings, burnings, oppressions, robberies, and
other crimes above mentioned, committed contrary to our said laws and
acts of parliament, and the capitulation above-written, the said
defendants, and particularly the said marquis of Argyle, at least one or
other of them, were aiders, abettors, assisters, countenancers, contrivers,
promoters and counsellors of the same.

"Ninthly, the said persons defendants, or one or other of them,
contrary to the aforesaid capitulations, our laws and acts of parliament,
upon the day of June, 1646, most traitorously and perfidiously

did carry the whole people, who were in the said houses of Escog and
Towart, in the said boats, to the village of Denoone, and there most
cruelly, traitorously, and perfidiously cause hang upon one tree near the
number of thirty-six persons, most of them being special gentlemen of
the name of Lamond, and vassals to the said Sir James, viz. Neill
Macpartrick alias Lamond, Archibald Lamond son to baron Machpatrick
of Cowstoune, Robert Lamond his brother, Duncan Lamond brother to
the said Robert and Hugh Lamond their other brother, Duncan Ger
Lamond in Kilmarnock, Gocie l and John Lamonds his sons, Ewen

cowall, James Lamond his son, and John Mackpatrick alias Lamond in
Ardyne. And also the said persons defendants, or one or other of them,
upon the aforesaid day of June 1646, most cruelly, barbarously,

inhumanly and unchristianly murdered with durks and cut down with
swords and pistols the persons following, viz. John Lamond in2
Auchinshallech, who being about the age of fourscore years, having a
flux upon him, and being also pined away with hunger and thirst, they
most cruelly and barbarously stabbed him with durks and skanes at the
ladder foot : and did also most barbarously murder, stab and cut down
the persons following, viz. Thomas Brown, Neill Mackneill, Meldanich
Mackmaw, John Mackmaw his brother, Archibald Hamilton, Meldonich
Mackilmichael, Robert Michael, John Mackinlay, John Hendry, Alexander
Hendry, Patrick Hendry, John Lamond, Angus Mackilmune, John

Donald Mackperson, Duncan Mackperson, Donald Mackilbreid
Lamond, Duncan Lamond, Duncan Mackalaster, Thomas Menchryd,
John Miehaelson, John Moodie, and John Jamieson, then provost of
Rothesay, who being shot thrice through the body, finding some life in
him, did thrust severall durks and skanes in him, and at last did cut his
throat with a long durk; the said John Jamieson not only representing
his majesty's authority, as a prime magistrate of his burgh royal, was so
cruelly murdered in contempt thereof, and of the statutes made in that
behalf. And to manifest their further cruelty, they did cast some of the
aforesaid persons into holes made for them, who were spurning and
wrestling, whilst they were suffocated with earth ; having denied
to them any time to recommend themselves to God; albeit
earnestly desired and begged by the said murdered persons.
Insomuch that the Lord from heaven did declare his wrath and
displeasure against the aforesaid inhuman cruelty, by striking the tree
whereon they were hanged, in the said month of June, being a lively
fresh growing ash-tree, at the Kirk-yard of Denoone, amongst many
other fresh trees with leaves, the Lord struck the said tree immediately
thereafter ; so that the whole leaves fell from it, and the tree withered,
never bearing leaf thereafter, remaining so for the space of two years :
which being cut down, there sprang out of the very heart of the root
thereof a spring like unto blood popling up, running in several streams,
all over the root, and that for several years thereafter : until the said
murderers or their favourers, perceiving that it was remarked by persons
of all ranks (resorting there to see the miracle) they did cause houck out
1 Sic for Mackloy 2 Sic for "of" : see post. — Ed.

the root, covering the whole with earth, which was full of the said
matter like blood. Of the which cruel murders, the said persons, and
especially the said marquis of Argyle, or one or other of them, were
authors, actors, aiders, abettors, assisters, contrivers, countenancers and
promoters, many of the said persons defendants being officers under the
command of the said marquis of Argyle.

"Tenthly, upon the month of 1646, the said sir James

Lamond, his said brethren and friends, being detained prisoners at the
said Marquis's house of Innerary, the said George Campbell sheriff and
justice-deputy to the said Marquis, James Campbell of Ardkinglas, colonel
under the command of the said Marquis, Dougall Campbell alias
Mackonnochie of Innerraw, major under the command of the said
Marquis, and certain other persons being met in a kind of conventicle,
who did enquire of the said sir James, whether he would submit his life
and fortune to them, or not ? Who answered, That he would not,
pleading upon his majesty's commission, the capitulation given to him,
and that he being the king's baron could not be judged by them, none
of them being such. Whereunto the said George Campbell replied, that
the said sir James was a false knave, and that he would judge him
whether he would or not, and hang him as justice-deputy of the said
marquis of Argyle ; at which time the said George Campbell did rob and
seize upon the sum of £1,000 belonging to Archibald Lamond, brother
to the said sir James; and having within a little time hereafter searched
the said sir James for the said capitulation, finding that he had it not,
and they considering the prejudice that might follow to them thereby,
they caused the said Sir James to subscribe a paper penned by the said
George, declaring therein that his quarrel was unjust, and that he
repented thereof, as also that he did pass from the capitulation ; which
paper with certain other articles therein was subscribed by the said sir
James, he being compelled thereto for fear of death, having gotten
notice at that very same time that his said friends and followers were
cruelly murdered by them at Denoone, as is above-mentioned; after
subscribing of the which paper, two days after the said sir James,
his two brethren, and four friends aforesaid, were committed prisoners,
in several houses, appertaining to the said marquis of Argyle, the
said sir James remaining prisoner in the house of Dunstuffnagh for
the space of four years, thereafter being carried to the castle of Inchoneill,
where he remained prisoner for the space of two years or thereabout,
until he was carried from thence to Sterling, by virtue of an order from
us and our estates of parliament, they having not time to take trial of
the matter at that time, by reason of our marching into England,
sending the said sir James up to the castle of Sterling, for fear of the
said Marquis's cruelty ; in regard he often threatened, that if ever the
said Sir James came in his power, the world should not save his life, and
that he repented nothing more, than that he took not that bloody
knave's life, whilst he had him in his power; saying likewise, that all
was but one fault : the which cruel crimes of oppression and others
above specified, the said defendants, particularly the marquis of Argyle,
one or other of them, were actors, aiders, abettors, contrivers,
countenancers or promoters.

" Eleventhly, The said persons defendants, their cruelty against the
said sir James is manifest, in so far as the said month of 1651,

hounding out, and or under their command or direction, came accom-
panied with 30 men, all armed with guns, swords, pistols, and other
weapons, invasive to the coast side of the sheriffdoms of Aire and
Renfrew, where they heard that the said sir James had his residence,
and did search the house of Southanon belonging to my lord Sempell,
and the house of Corsby belonging to the laird of Auchnames, where the
said persons did make search for the said sir James, two of them coming
early in the morning to the said house of Auchnames, the said Donald
running upstairs with a drawn dirk and bended pistol in either hand,
making search through the whole house and beds, to have murdered the
said sir James, who by providence was in the wood, not knowing any-
thing of the intended murder. And the said persons being disappointed
of their intentions, did retire to their boats, the said sir James flying at
that time to the Isle of Arran, to shelter himself under the protection of
the now duchess of Hamilton, who did reside there for the time. Like
as immediately thereafter the said marquis of Argyle and his accomplices,
failing of their said intended murder, the said Marquis did desire a
warrant from the committee of parliament, in the said year, 1651, for
apprehending the said sir James Lamond, intending thereby to prosecute
the aforesaid murder ; which warrant was then refused to be granted to
him : at least the said defendants, and particularly the said marquis of
Argyle, or one or other of them, were authors, actors, aiders, abettors,
assisters, contrivers, countenancers, of the aforesaid crimes of murder
and oppression, and others aforesaid.

" Twelfthly, and further to evidence the aforesaid persons defendants,
and particularly the said marquis of Argyle, their cruelty and oppression
against the said sir James, the said Marquis in the month of
1647, or thereabouts, came to our house of Dunstaffneich, where the said
sir James had been kept most unjustly and unwarrantably prisoner
several years before, and sending to him the late deceased Archibald
Campbell keeper of our said castle under the said Marquis, Colin Campbell
of Lochnell, and Dowgall Campbell alias Mackconnachie of Innerraw, as
commissioners, with certain proposals following, viz. First, that the
said sir James should renounce and for ever overgive all right, title and
interest he had to his own property, and his vassals superiority : and
upon condition also, that the said sir James should under his own hand
abjure Scotland, and never to be seen therein : Which being done, the
said Marquis said he would give to sir James a considerable sum, threaten-
ing also that if the said Sir James would refuse the said offer, so long as
the said Marquis had an house in the world, the said sir James should
be prisoner therein, and should torment him with pain and misery, until
the marrow should rot within his bones. The said Marquis declaring
also, that he hath already possessed himself of the said sir James and
his vassals' estates, which he said he and his should possess, in despite of
those who would or would not. Whereupon the said sir James consider-
ing with himself, within some few months thereafter, that what a
prisoner did was null in law, and being most desirous of his liberty, from
so miserable and so long imprisonment, professed to be willing to grant
some of the former desires; the said Marquis hearing thereof, caused
carry the said sir James with a guard to the town of Innerarey, where
the said sir James did write some few lines, the substance whereof con-
tained the most part of the Marquis's desires. Notwithstanding whereof,
and the said paper was delivered to the said Marquis, he persisting in his

1661] Inve?itory of Lamont Papers. 227

former cruelty and oppression, did send back the said sir James to prison,
where he remained at our said house of Dunstaffneich, so that the said
papers so subscribed and delivered to the said Marquis and George
Campbell his justice and sheriff- deputy, for which they and their ac-
complices ought to be punished as oppressors and as actors and art and
part of the aforesaid crimes, and all following upon the said writings and
papers ought to be declared void and null.

"Thirteenthly, the said persons defendants, and particularly the
said Archibald marquis of Argyle his friends and accomplices, persever-
ing in their further oppression, in the month of 1649 years,
caused the said deceased Archibald Campbell, then keeper of our said
castle of Dunstaffneich, under the command of the said Marquis, compel
the said sir James to grant a band to the said Archibald, his heirs,
executors, and assigns, for payment of the sum of 4,400 marks or there-
abouts, for alledging four years entertainment in our said castle, where
the said sir James Lamond was violently, traitorously, and illegally
detained prisoner: Unto the which band the said Marquis be assigned,
he did intend action thereupon before the English judges, and for that
and certain other pretended debts, which were paid, the said Marquis
took forth caption against the said sir James, intending thereby to
prosecute his forethought cruelties and oppressions, and to incarcerate
him, for obtaining his former designs. And so the said Marquis by
acceptation of the said assignation, pursued thereupon his imprison-
ments, threatenings and others above and after specified.

" Fourteenthly, The said George Campbell justice under the said
Marquis, still continuing in his former cruelties and oppression, in the
month of 1647 years, or thereabouts, not only contrary to his

said majesty's commission, but also contrary to the articles of capitulation,1
our laws and acts of parliament, having taken Patrick Lamond fiare of
Escog, and John Lamond of Auchingylle out of the said castle of Escog,
after they had rendered the said castle upon the capitulation 1 above-
mentioned, having detained them prisoners, the one in the castle of
Carrick, and the other in the castle of Inchoneill, for the space of a
year and three quarters, until the day of January, 1648 years. At

the which time the said "Marquis, and the said George his deputy, caused
call a pretended court of justice, at the said town of Innerrarey; where
having convened the said Patrick Lamond fiare of Escog, and John
Lamond of Auchingylle, at the said town did call an assize, consisting
of highland men, under power of the said Marquis, and his deputy their
justiciary, being also their dependants and followers, and of the said
George his making use of, for the most part, for murders and oppres-
sions. Which assize having convicted the said Patrick Lamond fiare of
Escog, and having absolved the said John Lamond, in respect to some
favours done to them, the said George Campbell nevertheless caused the
said pretended inquest thereafter to meet, contrary to the express law
and act of parliament ; the said George saying, that it was not fit that
one young man should die alone: Conform to the which unjust and
illegal command and direction, the aforesaid persons of the assize did
meet again, and did convict the said John Lamond also, who by virtue
of the said George's unjust and unlawful sentence, the said two gentle-
men were hanged to death at Innerrarey. Like as the said marquis of
Argyle his concourse, countenancing and promoting of the said cruel

murders and oppressions, the said Marquis by himself, James Campbell
of Ardkinglas, and their complices, have still possessed the lands of
Escog, and Auchingylle, belonging to the said two murdered gentlemen ;
whereof they are yet still in possession to this same very hour: The
said John Lamond leaving two children behind him, the eldest of them
not two years old, to whom the said Marquis refused to give any supply
or entertainment ; they living still as yet upon the charity of the people.
Like as the said marquis of Argyle doth most violently, illegally and
unjustly, possess the lands belonging to John Lamond of Auchinshelloch,
who for age and infirmity, as said is, was cruelly murdered at the ladder-
foot in manner above-written. At least the said persons defendants,
and particularly the said marquis of Argyle. George Campbell his justice
and sheriff-deputy, James Campbell of Ardkinglas, or one or other of
them, were authors, aiders, abettors, assisters, promoters, counsellors,
contrivers and art and part of the said wicked murders, oppressions,
burnings, robbery, and other deeds, and malversations above-written.
And further, to manifest the said marquis of Argyle, George Campbell
his said justice and sheriff-deputy, and their complices, their cruelty and
oppression, they or one or other of them in the month of
1648 years, having at that time murdered the said Patrick Lamond
younger of Escog as aforesaid, they caused immediately thereafter bring
before them Duncan Lamond of Stronalbanoch his uncle, an old man,
being J;hen prisoner at Castle Lauchlane, to the town of Innerrarey;
threatening him, that if he would not renounce and dispose his right of
the whole lands of Keames, which he held of the laird of Lamond, then
they would cause hang him, as his nephew was immediately before.
Like as for safety of his life, the said Duncan Lamond did grant a dis-
position of his said lands of Keames to the said marquis of Argyle, and
did deliver to him the whole writings thereof, conform whereunto the
said Marquis remains still in possession. And in like manner the said
marquis of Argyle, George Campbell his justice and sheriff-deputy, and
their said complices, by their power and warrant have possest and do
possess the lands belonging to the said James Lamond, viz. The lands
called Archibal1 Roy-Stewart, the sixth-mark land of Ochrechewne,2the
lands of Craignifeoche : on which lands of Craignifeoche the said Marquis
had his own bowmen and heards, keeping thereon a number of his own
proper goods several years : The said Marquis possessing also several
other lands both in property and superiority belonging to the said sir
James, the Marquis having no right thereto, but possessing the same by
mere opposition. Of the which crimes of oppression and others above
specified, the said marquis of Argyle, George Campbell justice and sheriff-
deputy to the said Marquis, James Campbell of Ardkinglas, officer under
the said Marquis's command, and remanent defendants, were authors,
actors, aiders, abettors, assisters, contrivers, promoters and art and part.

" And in like manner, Duncan Campbell of Ellangreg most treacherously,
traitorously and perfidiously, after subscribing of the capitulation by
him granted to the said sir James, his friends and followers, being a
member of the conventicle and meeting at the aforesaid cruel and
wicked murders committed at Denoone, was a main author, actor,
abettor, assister, contriver and promoter of the said wicked murder
committed there. Like as thereafter the said Duncan Campbell did

the said sir James his house of Towart, taking away the goods and
plenishing therein, destroying of the said sir James his own men, tenants,

Campbell an officer under the said Marquis's command, George Campbell
sheriff and justice-deputy, or one of them, were authors, actors, aiders,
abettors, assisters, contrivers and promoters of the same. And in like
manner Robert Campbell of Auchinwilling. and remanent defendants

the said capitulation, and contrary thereto, and our said laws and acts of
parliament above-written, in month of or one or other of

Scotland, personally, if they can be apprehended, and. failing thereof, at
their dwelling-places, and by open proclamation at the market- crosses
of the head boroughs of our sheriffdoms, or other jurisdictions within
the which they dwell ; and so many of them as are without the same,
by open proclamation at the market-cross of our burgh of Edinburgh,
pier and shore of Leith, upon three-score days warning, to appear
personally before us and our estates of parliament, or those impowered
or authorized by us for that effect, at Edinburgh, or where it shall

continuation of days to answer at the instance of our said advocate, for
our interest, and at the instance of the said sir James Lamount, for

or those impowered or authorized by us for that effect, that the f orenamed
persons, and every one of them, have thereby incurred the respective
pains and punishments prescribed by our said laws and acts of

to the nature and quality of their several crimes, misdeeds and malversa-
tions, committed and done by them ; and to hear and see the foresaid
pains and punishments decerned to be executed, and inflicted upon
them, with all rigour, in example of others, at the arbitrement and
determination of us and our said estate of parliament, or those impowered

treason against us and our crown, and the estates of this our ancient
kingdom ; 1 1 the forfeiting of their lives, lands, estates and goods, to be
applied, as said is ; and that their absence and contumacy shall be holden
as a manifest probation of their guiltiness, without necessity of any
further probation. But if they appear and remain present at the whole
diets of the procedure, that then we and our said estates of parliament,
or these impowered and authorized by us for that effect, will proceed
against the said defenders upon lawful probation, to the forfeiting of
their said lives, lands, estates, and goods, to be applied as said is, or
otherwise by punishing and censuring of them, according to the nature

A Short Answer to the Libel and Dittay given in upon the
28th day of January.

787. 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. " To all these answers Arch. Kinglas « had his
commission as colonel from the parliament, or committee, and not from
him, and if he pursued Lamond, doubtless it was as a rebel at that time
to the estate of the kingdom, according to act and declaration of
parliament, approved of by his majesty, and his royal father, and pre-
decessors ; so what Arch. Kinglas l or any other did to Lamond, let them
answer for what they did unwarrantably, it cannot reflect on him, but
he hopes they will clear themselves.

26. " The defender was in England when Lamond was brought out
of his house, and knew nothing of the business, until he received letters
shewing what had past, and that Lamond had refused to return [to]
Alexander Mac-Donald, according to his capitulation, chusing rather to
remain a prisoner with the defender, the paper itself may be found if
he deny, whereupon he was detained prisoner, having no security to
give ; and having so often sworn and promised, and after failed, which
will be shewn under his hand, and having murdered so many people,
men, women and children, several of them after quarter given, beside
the burning of many gentlemen his neighbours houses, and destroying
their goods and their lands, and going in to Alexander Mac-Donald,
notwithstanding he was in service against him with the defender, not
having fairly exonerated himself; this can be all clearly instructed,
and if this was not cause to keep him a prisoner, let any judge.

27. "He knew not nor remembers not any such things, so it is but
forged against him.

28. " He caused no such thing, it was a thing done for his own enter-
tainment, and the defender being to secure Lamond for some just debts
due to himself, the captain of Dunstaffage desired his bond likewise to
be pursued in the defender's name, which the gentleman himself can
shew.

29. " The Marquis is in possession of none of their lands to his know-
ledge ; if he were, it is a legal civil process.

30. " He never knew any such thing.

31. 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44." To all these let
every man answer as he is concerned, as he hopes they will clear so ;
but this he must say for himself and his depute, that it cannot be said
they murdered any of these men with their own hands, neither did they
judge any man to die by the hand of justice, but such who were notori-

ously guilty according to standing law; and no man can justly say any
man whs ever processed before them who had received any articles,
though it was never conceived by any judicatory in Scotland that any
man taking a rebel could pardon him, except the person doer of it had
particular warrant for that effect, otherwise the committee after Phillip-
hauge had been much to blame for ordaining so many to be processed,
at which committee were the sentencing of such who died at Glasgow
shortly thereafter, at which the defender was not present.

Mr. Archibald Campbell his sonne and Messrs. George Novell Johne
Coninghame and George Mkenzic his procurators who alledged that the
defender should have ane longer time nor ane citation upon tuo or three
days And being indicted of high treason by his Majesties Advocat he
ought not to be conveened be ane particular person for any privat
wrong And specially this persute being ane mixt mater partlie civill and
partlie criminal To the which it wes ansered for the said pursuer
That his being conveened for treason should nowayes exempt him from
ane particular wrong And further ansered that whatever sentence should
be obtained in his favours should be but prejudice of his Majesties or
his successors rights as accords of the law Which alledgeance and anser
above-written being considered be the said Commissioners of Parliament
appointed for bills They fand processe for the injust ejection and re-
possession Bot referred the ryot thereof and the injust imprisonment
and robbing the pursuer of ane thousand punds To the Lords of the

above written They referred the same to be pursued befor the Lords of

it was alledged for the parte of the said defender that ther could be no
processe at the persuers instance Because he wes in rebellion against the

the defender had apprised these lands which is expyred To the which it

Authority to be rebellion And for the appriseing Ansered that the

pessima side to object any such appriseing And further alledged That

. (p. 1459) ....

As to the sixth Article, anent the taking of the house of To wart, belong-
ing to the laird of Lamond, and the house of Oscoge, belonging to Oscoge ;
and after articles of capitulation drawn and subscribed by Ardkinglas, and
others under his command, trust and assurance, murdering a great many
of Lamond's and Oscoge's friends: as this is no way true, (the defender
being altogether innocent thereof) so it is no ways relevantly libelled.
For, 1. Neither day nor month of these deeds are condescended on.
2. The alternity, by others under his command, not relevant to infer a

1661] Inventory of Lamont Papers. 239

crime, far less treason against the defender, for the reason contained in
the first answer to the former article, viz. That there is neither act of
parliament libelled, nor common law, ordaining a man to be liable
to a pain, far less the highest of pains, for deeds or crime by those
under his command, except he gave them special direction. But every
one is to suffer for his own fault, as more at length is contained in the
said answer, which is here repeated. 3. Non relevat those for whom he
is answerable, for the same reasons, because every one is answerable
for his own fault and crime. 4. Non relevat, that others whom he
might stop, did it; because there is neither any act of parliament
libelled on, ordaining any to be answerable for all the deeds of those he
might stop (especially the act against murder under trust, bearing no
such thing): nor is there any law nor reason for the same, but 'delicta
proprios tenent authores,' as hath been said ; and no ways granting the
defender could have stopped them: for the truth is, he could not, and
was not near them, when what is libelled was done: and albeit indeed,
it be ' contra officium charitatis,' not to stop any doing of mischief, if
any one may safely do it, yet that it comes under the compass of law
to infer a crime, especially treason, cannot be affirmed. 5. Taking of
the house of Towart and Escoge, is not subsumed upon any of the acts
of parliament libelled, there being none of them, anent the taking in of
houses belonging to the lieges, and so is not relevant to infer any of the
crimes contained therein. 6. The alledged killing a great many of
Lamond's and Oscoge's friends, after the assurance given by Ardkinglas,
is no ways relevantly libelled, to infer the crime of slaughter under
trust, because by the act of parliament, Jac. 6, par. 11, cap. 51, of
slaughter under trust, upon the which it is founded, slaughter under
trust, is only when the party slain is under the trust and assurance of
the slayer, which is no way here libelled, but that the persons who are
libelled to have been slain by the defender, were under the trust of
another, to-wit, Ardkinglas ; who if he, or any other under the defender's
command, have done any thing against their own assurance, they are to
answer for it. 7. The defender adhering to these defences, and craving
that they being against the relevancy be first discussed, repeats his
former answer founded upon his commission of lieutenancy therein
mentioned ; for they who are designed Lamond's and Oscoge's friends,
were the Macdonalds, or their adherents and accessaries, (as is notorious,
and the defender, if need shall be, offers to prove it) whom by the
aforesaid commission he had power to prosecute with fire and sword,
with dispensation of slaughter, and raisings of fire, in manner at length
contained in the commission; which amongst the other acts of parlia-
ment, 1644, is ratified by his majesty in his treaty at Breda, as is alledged
in the said answer, which is holden herein repeated ; and therefore the
defender ought to be assoilzied from this article. And truly what cruelty
was exercised, was by the laird of Lamond himself, against the heritors
and other inhabitants in the sheriffdom of Argyle ; for the which, upon
a supplication given in to the king's majesty and committee of estates
at Sterling, in August 1651, he was imprisoned within the castle of
Sterling, till after trial, justice should have been done upon him ; but
was released by the English when they took the castle, with the other
prisoners. However, the defender is confident, as it is known, so he
shall make it appear, if need be, in the other process whereunto this
relates, and wherein it will be more pertinent ; and yet the day and

time of the committing of the deeds mentioned in this article not being
condescended on, as it ought to be when required by the defender, that
he may propone his alibi, he offers to prove, if need be, that he was alibi
the time of the committing of the said deeds, at a very great
distance, to-wit in England. Like as his majesty, by his treaty at
Breda, hath ratified and approved the acts of parliament; and his
majesty, and estates of parliament have ratified the said treaty, and
past an act of oblivion, of all former deeds done by the subjects, which
secures and indemnifies them for any former actings, in respect whereof
he ought to be assoilzied.

follows : — By Act of Parliament of 12 July 1661, 16 months' maintenance
is to be uplifted, viz. 8 months of 1648, and 8 months of 1650, notwith-
standing exemption by any pretended Parliament since August 1648. The
Heritors conceive they cannot be liable because Argyle was exempted
before August 1648 "for the cause of their being wasted, and that there
was no rent payed therein, and therefore could not pay mantinence."
They therefore crave to be eased of the payment, or of a portion of it,
with time to pay the same ; and that certain persons may be authorised
to lay it on proportionally like the cess, because the shire had never
been valued "by reason of their great vastation." The Lords, having
considered the Petition, grant warrant and Commission to Sir James
Lamont of Inneryne, and many others to meet and impone the monthly
maintenance upon the whole heritors and others liable, in a similar
manner to the cess.

holden of the King, and in possession of his Estate : and, not content

905. Lavvmount of that ilk : — Arms registered 1672-8 by Archibald
Lawmond of that ilk : Azure, a lion rampant Argent. Crest, a dexter
hand couped at the wrist proper : Motto : Ne parcas nee spernas.
Although the charge, a lion rampant, is the same, the tinctures have
been repeatedly changed. Pont has "Ermine, a lion rampant Azure
armed Cules." There is another coat, allusive to the name, given by
Pont and other authorities: " Azure, a mound (or globe) with cross Or."

On this was founded the bearing of the Perthshire family of Burden
of Auchingarrich and Feddal, said to be descended in the male line from
Lamont: Azure, a mound or, cross (Jules, between two bourden staves,
(or battle-axes) proper. The writer contributed to " The Genealogist " l a
notice of the pedigree and arms of the Burden whose heir-general in
1878 sold the estates held by his ancestors for upwards of 300 years.

The heads of the families of Lamont and Burden both carried as
supporters two savages, but this has not been sanctioned in either case.

their genealogicall descent; the principall is in the lions office, dated
4th of November, H>99 :—

" Honoured Cousin, — 1 received yours and I am satislied to iind that
ancient inclination in you that was esteemed amongst all nations evin
in the Jewesh families, and as I hate ridieulus vanitie, so I love that
men class themselves as fare as writ or true tradition can bring them
and as to my familie I most deall with both, and to my best knouledge
it is the methode that all Scotland most use, that is ancient, and most
of all the Highlanders (who, if extant) are the ablest in this Kingdome
as you may discerne by our tongue, spoken in the land befor the
English tongue incrotched,1 and as you see by names of places, to this
day all over the kingdome, tho someting changed, yet the derivation
holds to me knowen in both speeches; your Relation to this hous«
can ot keep you ignorant of ane late calamitie in Montrosses wars and
that our houses being plundered and fired, our writs behoved to be
wronged. Befor thattime our house of Toward was brunt by the great
M'Donald, when Argyl married Lamonts daughter because he took
Argyls part against M'Donald and so suffered by which our evidents are
lost yet some shadows of our antiquitie remain by marriages with Argyls
Castles - M 'Donalds Semples their daughter and with severall other
honourable families. Our descent is from Ireland, a sone of the house
of Oneil, who had patronimicks befor sirnames. Our first predecessor
was MacClamine, and in time Scotified to Lamont, Lamount, or Lomond,
as you will find in the old books of Heraldrie in the lions Office, and
our ancient armorial bearing was relative to the name La Mond, i.e. the
Glob of the World or Glob imperial, in an blew field, which my prede-
cessors of late hath chainged to a whit lion, being ignorant of Heraldrie
and fearing affinity with the kings of Ireland unless they were concerned
with the Lion, which I would have altered, and taken my honourable
Glob, but the Lamonts of France and England carried the Lion befor
my time so that I had no will to differ in coat armour with them least a
denayell in after ages. Nou to prove my ancient descent from Oneile,
and that older than modestie will allow or my equals will be willing to
grant me, I refer it to the old records that is extant in the Colledge of

1 Encroached. - Cassillis.

Feale,1 in the Island of Man, or to the old tradition of Ireland that is
extant in the hands of Esquir Cormick Ornile,2 the best Antiquarie in
Ireland, by whose help Sir George MacKeinzie wrot the race of the kings
of Scotland.

"Nou Cousin for your familie, I am so well versed in it, that to my
sad experience I want much land by it, and the progress of a plea in my
hand with the Lairds of Keams Ballantines till this day and but latlie
determined in my favours within this three years which plea began as
followes : — The Governeir of Scotland who went under the name of
Robert the Third the second of the Stewars dwelt in the castle of Boote,
our house of Towart being oppositt thereto, the Laird of Karnes the
Laird of Houston and Flemyng of Wigton being over in Towartland
hunting (who then belonged to the court), committed some misdemainor,
and gave offence to the Laird of Lamond, who stirred up his four sones
(the oldest being happilie at court) these four sones killed the forsaids
Lairds, upon which our familie was rent, and our lands given in requitall
of their blood whose successors obtained neu charters from the king of
our lands ; the most part of which lands my predecessors since recovered,
and their charters are nou in my hands narrating their names and the
cause of the kings grant. The four bretheren were forced to flee and
to change their names for ever, for the foresaid slaughter ; your prede-
cessor goeing to the countrie where you nou live in a mean condition by
occasion of the disasture of the familie, having nothing in his hand but
a foursquare staffe in old highlands called Bourdouich with which he
fought gallantlie for Pearths predecessors then Laird of a place called
Stopha3 or hall, so your surname began as my father told me truly and
protested to me his father told him the same, and this part I think
behooved to com from your predecessors but the rest I have all the
paper lying by me, your other Brother took the name of Lamb as being
nearest his oun of Lamont, of whom I mett severals in England as
respective 4 as anie Lamont would be whom I though(t) had knouen
nothing of it the third brother went to Paisly, and was with the Abbot
thereof who asked his name and said I am a landless man, it sail not
be so longer said the Abbot if you will serve me and so gave him a small
piece of land and I spoke with the grandchild of him that last enjoyed
that land about fortie year agoe I knou a worthie man still of that name
minister of Blantyre who is a lover of you all, the fourth Brother was the
origine of the M'Tournors of Luss who wrought at that imployment in
that place only to hid himself from his powerfull enemies, which is
acknouledged by all the countrie.

" The Earle of Strathmoirs predecessor came of the house of Lamond
long before yours he killed the great M'Donald for which he changed
his name, and took a neu one from our Ensign the Lion, that M'Donald
was his mothers brother ; on my conscience I am as near the truth in
this relation as I can be and leaves out manie things which old men
beleaves which I have not midled with.

"I am, they say, the threttie thrid Laird of Lamont fourteen I can
instruct and the rest is by tradition, if you make use of this descent in
that book of Heraldrie which is nou writing I shall be content you contain
me there conformed to this information and if the author take it I
will stand to all that is in this and possiblie he will insert mor untruths

cess necessar, nou my love to your old father when you come to me you
shall see all my papers and shall have welcome I rest your Loving
Cousin, (signed) J.1 Lamont."

I ("I" here is, of course, Alexander Nisbet himself) had another
account of the origine of the familie of Bourdon of Feddall by a letter
from Mr. Harie Bourdon thus : —

"The first of the name of Bourdon lived in the Isle of Skey and efter
king Edgar the 4th sone of Malcom Canmoir beat Donald the usurper,
who did Hey to the Isle of Skey and was there taken and brought to
Edgar who asking who did take him was answeared Sholto ferr le burden
dou for which he had considerable lands there given him, and retained
the nam always, the familie long after falling to a Daughter who was
heiress she was married to one of Lamounts sones who took on his wiles
name, he coming doun to Perthshir met with Drummond of Stobhall
whom he assist in some quarrel against some of his neighbours for which
he did procuir a remission to him and did gift him som lands in Perth-
shire which they retain yet and selling his highland interest did make a
pourchas there, But in Queen Marries time for assisting her were for-
faulted but with great difficultie a part of fortoun still remains with
them."

1 Nisbet's MSS. hus clearly ''.I. Lamont," but this may have lieen Lis clerical error
for "A. Lamont," as the Laird of Lamont in 1699 was undoubtedly Archibald Lamont
of that Ilk. See passim. — Er».

consequence of the preceding letter, are subjoined at the foot by
John Urry of Christchurch.)

1100 My Lord, — I have had two letters from the Laird of Lamont to let

me know that your honour have made him a proffer to assist him and
me to recover some monys that was due to the Countess of Brainford',
to whom my mother was executrix. I shall be glad to receive your
Lordship's commands and directions how to proceed in this business, for
I protest as yet I know not a step in't, and must be entirely directed by
your honour. I am, my Lord, your Lordship's most, etc.

(Jan.) 1709.

My letter to your honour by the post last week I'm affraid is mis-
carried. It was to beg your Lordship would direct me how to recover
£2000 due to my mother from the Treasury, as she was executrix to the
Countess of Brainford." If I'm impertinent in troubling your Lordship
at this time, blame the Laird of Lamont, who urges me to be so, and
who will think I have neither kindness for him nor my self if I am
remiss and neglect to recover such a sum as this. If your Lordship
please to give your commands to this gentleman, he has promised me to
be so kind to undertake to agent this business for, My Lord, Your
Lordship's most humble and obedient.

1134. Gentlemen, — I think my self obliged to return you my thanks for the
zeal you have showed in your last meeting for the peace of the country
and for the defence of His Majesties Government; I shall not fail to do
you the justice to acquaint the King of the alacrity and duty you have
expressed upon this occasion against the intended rebellious attempts to
destroy our religion and liberties. I don't doubt but it will appear at
this time how false those suggestions have been, which have been made
of late Years that the Pretender to the Crown of these Kingdoms, and
the Usurper of His Majesties royal titles had encreased in his interest in
the shire of Argyl, so famed in the worst of times for the supporting the
Protestant Religion and the resisting of Tyranny. My family and con-
sequently you have formerly suffered from this cause, I glory in it, and
I hope you do so too, but I can with great satisfaction acquaint you, the
King has taken such precautions, and is so much resolved to protect his
faithful subjects that We cannot run any hazzard but from too great
security, Our old, and our new Enemies will soon see their errors, and
those who have always been ready in the worst of times to assert the
right cause, will now with the greater pleasure follow and support their
« principles, in the best.

I shall immediatly as your heritable Lieutenant appoint Deputy
Lieutenants and other Officers to command our fencible men, and shall
neglect nothing which may tend to your safety and prosperity

I am Gentlemen, your most obedient and most humble servant,

Argyll.

1168. "Honoured Sir, — I being descended from the ancient name of
Black from Scotland for some ages ; but my father and many relations
being removed by death, and to other countries, God is pleased yet to
continue me a survivor, although very infirm, and about 76 years of
age.

"I have been an inhabitant of this place for about 60 years, except
some intervals when I went abroad to France, Holland, and the West
Indies, etc., all which time I have been exercised in merchandising. I
was comfortably married to one of the name of Eccles, by whom I have
five sons and two daughters yet alive, all the former brought up in
•France and merchandising. One of them settled a factor, and married
in Bourdeaux above 28 years, and hath a family of eight children;
another is [honoured to be King George's Consul in Cadiz in Spain,
where he enjoys both great honours and riches, having a younger
brother, a considerable factor with him for a companion ; another was
brought up at the college in Glasgow, and now abroad ; and the fifth
with me, and one daughter; the other well married here to a merchant;
and we all understanding that we have an interest by alliance in your
honourable family, are very desirous, at home or abroad, to demonstrate
our dutiful respects to any concerned. My son who is His Majesty's
Consul, entreats the favour of you to know the original that the Black
hath in the honourable family of the ancient family of Lamont, and
likewise your coat-of-arms, which pray afford me by the impression of
your seal within a letter, for which I and mine shall remain most
thankful. In the interim, pray pardon this question, and upon any
occasion command, honoured sir, your obliged, most humble servant,

John Black.'

19 September 1723.

" Mr. John Black, Merchant, Belfast.

1169. "Sir, — I received yours of the date August 19th, which afforded me
a good deal of satisfaction to find that neither absence for a long time
from the native country of your forefathers, nor the difference between
your sirname and mine, which is only in sound, hath made you forget
the family and stock of people you are truly descended from.

" I am very well pleased Providence has been so kind to yourself and
your children as to spare you till you have seen the most of them well
provided, and the rest, I hope, in a fair way of being so. You tell me
your son who has the honour of being His Majesty King George's Consul
at Cadiz, wants to know when the Blacks descended from the family I
represent, and how they came to have their name changed, from
Lamont to that under which they now go; in compliance to which
reasonable request, please take an account of both as follows : —
Lamont had a son about 400 or 500 years ago whose hair, as we have it
handed down by tradition, was very black, on which account he was

1 723- 1 724] Inventory of Lamont Papers. 343

called a Ghiolle dugh, which is in English the Black Lad ; his son, again,
was called Mac a ghiolle dugh, in English the Black Lad's Son, and so
was his posterity ever since called with us, of whom there is a pretty
good number in Cowhall, and in other parts of the Highlands ; but such
of them as went to the Lowlands, England, Ireland, or other kingdoms
called themselves Blacks, being a literal translation of dugh into
English ; and this branch of the family of Lamont were so very zealous
and careful to preserve its memory, that about 300 or 400 years ago,
when it was represented by a man of vast profuseness and extravagance,
who had spent the whole interest to one rood of land, they cast him
overboard of a boat when he was drinking, and just as he was glorying
in his former follies, and promising himself to make an end of the little
that remained ; this they did lest there should be no memory left of the
family they were descended from, and immediately went to the
Isle of Man, where the heir was, carried him home, and with their help,
together with such others of his friends and well-wishers, as were in the
country, dispossessed a son of Argyle's, who had taken possession of his
estate, so that I stand very much obliged to my friends the Blacks.

" It only remains now that I give you an account of my coat-of-arms,
which is a white lion rampant in a green field ; our supporters are two
wild men ; as for a crest, none with us is allowed that piece of honour
but nobility. The motto is Ne parcas nee Spernas.

" I want a seal for my arms at present, having, before I received
your letter, complimented a friend at a distance with it ; but the first
time I go to Edinburgh, I shall cause cut one, and send it to you.

" I shall not trouble you further now, but conclude with my best
wishes to yourself and children, assuring you that none can rejoice more
at their prosperity and preferment than, Sir, your very affectionate
friend, L.1 Lamont."

1339. The regiment (the 42nd) had been only a short time at Winchester,
when the men caught a contagious fever, supposed to have proceeded

1803-1S05] Inventory of Lamont Papers. 391

from the prisoners over whom they stood sentinels at the jail. Captain
Lamont and several of the men died of the fever. Captain Lamont
was an excellent man; he had a considerable dash of eccentricity,
combined with the warmest zeal for his profession, and affection for his
brother officers and soldiers. Indeed, he fell a sacrifice to his kind
attachment to his men ; for when the fever was at its height, although
he knew its contagious nature, he could not be kept away from the sick.
He was always anxious, and always imagining that they were in want of
some comfort or cordial. He caught the fever, which carried him off in
a few days, lamented by all who knew his worth ; and as none knew his
value more than his regiment, his loss was proportionally regretted by
every individual. His own hopes and happiness seemed to be centred
in his corps, from whom he never wished to be absent. Although he
had an estate l in Argyleshire, and was often offered leave of absence,
he would not quit the regiment ; and in the year 1795 declined a step of
promotion, to which he was appointed, in another corps, preferring an
inferior commission among his old friends. He lamented, when dying,
that he should go out of the world like a manufacturer, quietly in his
bed, when he might so frequently have died a soldier's death. He had
served in the 76th, or M'Donald's Highlanders, in America, and was put
on the full pay of the 42nd in 1787.

The following inscription is copied from a lozenge-shaped stone on
the floor of the centre aisle of Winchester Cathedral: "Captain Colin
Lamont of the 42nd Royal Highlanders ; died 20th February, 1802, aged
51 years. Renewed by the Officers of the Black Watch 1861."

13f>0. "In the autumn of 1820, an event occurred which it may safely be

asserted would not have been so fairly and justly dealt with under the
jury system, as it was by the ' despotic ' Court of Royal Audience.

" The Adjoint Commandant of North Napariina, Mr James ' Lamont,
considering himself insulted by the Uilicers of thi* Militia of that
district, sent a challenge to one of them (Mr. Charles Ross), whom he
looked upon as the instigator of the offensive treatment of which he
complained. The matter came to the Governor's knowledge, and was
fully investigated in the Court of Royal Audience, the result being a
decree of which the following is the principal part : —

" Regarding this case, it is necessary to observe that the provocation
came from one, who from his public situation must have been informed
of the impropriety of the same : and there is too much evidence to
warrant the imputation of animosity on the part of Mr. Lamont against
more than the one he challenged of the militia officers, who by showing
a proper sense of what was due to themselves and their brother-officer,
subscribed the letter which is alleged to have been in Mr. Lamont's
estimation the warrant for these proceedings, which were the more
unjustifiable, since they are the more calculated to disturb the peace of
quarters settled by persons to whom the white inhabitants ought, on
their own account, as well as from a due regard for the public interest,
to shew a good example.

"The following penalties are therefore assigned to the offenders
involved in these proceedings : —

" James a Lamont $500. Charles Ross 8200.

John Stewart $300. Humphry Colquhoun #400.

Thomas Brown $300.

1386. Godred Crovan, son of Harald the Black, after a desperate struggle,
obtained the Kingdom of the Isles in 1077. Godred was the ancestor of
that dynasty of Man and the Isles which terminated by the death of
Magnus, the son of Olave, in 1265. Godred was expelled by King
Magnus Barefoot of Norway in 1093, and died in Islay in 1095. In
1103 the Islanders :< took for their King Lagman, the eldest son of
Godred Crovan. This Prince, after a reign of 7 years, the most im-
portant event of which was an unsuccessful rebellion against him by
his brother Harald, abdicated his throne, and, assuming the Cross, went
on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where he died." Olave, third son of
Godred Crovan, succeeded : (known as Olave Bitling, or Olave
the Red).

1391. In 1187 Godred (King of Man) died, having nominated his lawful
son Olave, surnamed "the Black," to succeed him. Olave was but
13 years of age, and the people therefore chose Reginald, an illegitimate
son of Godred. After 1214, Olave was compelled by Reginald to marry
Lavon, supposed by some to be a daughter of Somerlid, by others a
Lamont. This marriage was, however, annulled by the Church, and
Olave then married a daughter of the Earl of Ross, who is called
Ferquhard by some, by others Mac an Tagart. Olave expelled Reginald
from Man in 1224, and died in 1237.

the daughter of a certain man of rank of Kintyre, sister to his own wife,
and gave him the island of Lewis, whither Olave went with his wife, and
dwelt there. . . . After some days, a synod was assembled, and in it
Bishop Reginald of the Isles canonically separated Olave and Lauon,1
his wife."

1393. In 1238 Gospatrick and Gilchrist, the son of Murkerthac, were sent
to Man by the King of Norway to dethrone Harold, because he refused
to present himself at the Court of Norway. They took possession of the
whole country, and collected the revenues for the use of the King of
Norway. Harold made two expeditions to man, but was met on the
shore by the above said chiefs, Gospatrick and Gilchrist, with their
army, and was prevented from advancing into the country, and also
from obtaining any necessary supplies, and consequently returned to the
Isles and resided there. In 1239 Harold went to the Court of the King
of Norway, and remained two years. In 1240 Gospatrick died at the
Church of S. Michael.

(Robertson, ii. 102. As Harold refused to acknowledge his depend-
ence upon Norway, Gospatrick and Gilchrist M'Erchar, whose names
appear to mark them as members of the Clan Lagman, or Lamond
family in Cowal, whose Gaelic name was M'Erchar, obtained a grant of
the kingdom from Haco ; and two years elapsed before Harold, carrying
his. submission to the Court of the offended King, was reinstated in his
ancestral dominions.)

1396. Clans supposed to be descended from the Hy Neill or race of Neill
naoi giallach, king of Ireland. These consist of the Lamonds, the Clan
Lachlan, the MacEwens of Otter, and a Clan Somairle which has not
been identified. These Clans are all taken back to a certain Aoda Alain,
termed Buirche, son of Anrotan, son of Aodha Atlamuin, ancestor of the
O'Neills. From Aoda's son Gillacrist the Clan Lachlan came, and from
another son, Dunsleibe, the Lamonds, MacEwens, and Clan Somairle.
The genealogy of the Lamonds is authentic as far back as Fearchar,
the sou of Dunsleibe, but Ferchar's son and grandson l are mentioned
in a charter (No. 1, supra) inter 1230 et 1246, while the death of Aodha
Alain is recorded in 1047, and thus only three generations are placed in
two centuries.

1 398. Toward Castle, Argyllshire.

Toward Castle is situated on the Firth of Clyde, near Toward Point,
opposite Rothesay. It stands a few hundred yards inland from the sea,
on the end of a gentle ridge about 20 feet high, which juts out from the
higher ground behind. The castle consists of an ancient keep (Fig. 806 ),
probably of the fifteenth century, built across the end of the ridge, with
a courtyard of a later date extending along the ridge to where it joins
the general surface towards the south-east.

The keep was apparently a rectangular structure, about 39 feet from
east to west, by about 28 feet from north to south ; but as the south
wall is completely buried in its own ruins (as shown on Plan), the latter
dimension is only approximate. The ruins also prevent its being ascer-
tained whether there is any projection approaching the L form of plan.

The tower has probably been four stories high. The ground-floor is
vaulted, as shown by dotted lines. The hall floor was also vaulted, the
vault being arched in the contrary way to that beneath. The entrance
doorway is on the first floor, at a height of 12 or 15 feet above the
ground. It is in the west face of the castle, at the north-west corner,
and is round-arched, and was secured with a sliding bar. The door
leads directly into the hall. Adjoining the north wall there is a garde-
robe. No further details of the hall are visible amidst the ruins. Fig.
807 gives a general idea of the appearance of the castle. The high
window, with stone seats, seen in the sketch, is on the second floor, and
above it there is a considerable height of masonry, indicating another
floor. On the north face, a row of single corbels, carrying a part of the
battlements, still remains. From the hall floor a stair in the south-east
corner leads down to the north cellar. This cellar is divided by a line
on the Plan, the floor of the part marked A being at a lower level by

1472] Inventory of Lamont Papers. 409

about 6 feet than the other part, where the stair stops. The deep part
has been floored over with joisting, and has a small slit. The part of
the cellar at the higher level is lighted with a window. The floor of the
large cellar adjoining is at the level of the low cellar A, and has a door
of communication with it, as shown. From the high cellar to the large
low one there is also a door, and there were probably steps, as indicated
by a few lines on Plan, but the floor is now heaped with ruins, which
obliterate them. In the thickness of the west wall there is a garde-robe,
and on the south side the wall is thickened, and contains a door which
leads in for a space of about 6 feet, and is closed at the back by
rough masonry, apparently the ruins of the fallen wall already referred
to. It is just possible that this door led into a wing at the south-west
angle of the keep.

The later buildings are of considerable extent, and, including the
keep, measure along the outside of the north-east front 119 feet 6
inches by about 80 feet in width, and they are grouped so as to
form a courtyard having buildings on two sides, with the old keep at
the north end, and an enclosing wall along (he north-east side.
When complete, it must have been a castle of considerable extent;
the pity is that it is now so wrecked. The entrance gateway, which is
in the south-east side (Fig. 808), is a beautiful example of the revived
early work of the Fourth Period.1 Fig. 809 is a detailed sketch of the
arch enrichments. The gateway projects two feet beyond the general
front, and has the usual shot-holes in the sides of the projection, and
an arched passage leading into the courtyard, with stone seats on each
side. Most of the modern buildings are very ruinous. The apart-
ment marked " kitchen " is so named on account of the projection in
the west wall, which is supposed to have contained the kitchen
chimney. There is apparently a wide fireplace in the gable of the
room adjoining ; and from this room a doorway leads to the outside
(not into the courtyard), and, as will be seen from the check, the
door has been hung, contrary to the usual practice, on the inside of
the wall, and opened outwards. The circular piece of masonry shown
in the courtyard adjoining is probably the foundation of a stair
turret.

Toward was the residence of the chiefs of the Lamont family.
In 1646 it was the scene of a bloody tragedy, which was nothing less
than an attempt to exterminate the whole clan. The castle was be-
sieged by the Campbells, and forced to surrender, when horrible
cruelties were perpetrated by the latter on some two hundred vassals
and servants of Sir James Lamont. It is believed that not less than
thirty-six of them were hanged at Toward. The castle is supposed
never to have been inhabited after this event.

Note. — In "J. Lamout's" Letter of 1(399 (No. 1072, supra) it is stated that "Our
house of Toward was burnt by the great MacDonald when Argyll married Lamout's
daughter, because he took Argyll's part against MaeDonald." This seems to refer to
the wars of 1334 when John of the Isles sided with Edward Balliol and Edward III. of
England, and Sir Colin Campbell (whose son, Sir Archibald, married Isobcl Lamont,
see No. 26, supra), assisted Robert the Steward in the recovery of Dunoon from the
English.

The present keep was probably erected circa 1472 by John Lamont. who in that year
obtained a charter of the Barony of Inveryne. The " later buildings " may have been
erected by Sir.Coill Lamont of Inveryne between 1619 and 163/5. — En.

1424. " Gilcolm M'Soirl was the son-in-law of William M'lver or Campbell,
son of Kenneth Buey. Gilcolm was of the Family of Lamont of Mony-
drain or Monydrynan in-Glassary, called patronymically MacShomhair-
leadh (sometimes written as pronounced M'Coirl) from its progenitor
Somerled Lamont. The property, though much diminished, has con-
tinued till the present year (1873) in possession of the Lamonts ; and a
receipt in the writer's hands shows that some documents relative to a
part of the estate were even at the middle of the last century in the
keeping of William Buey's descendants. Gordon also calls Gilcolm
1 ane islander,' most probably as connected with, and occasionally living
in, Tiree. The Argyll family having some time previously ....
induced many of their friends and allies from the mainland to settle
there. Among these were some of the Lamonts, of whom the Lamonts
of Monydrain were then a leading family. The name Lamont is even
yet not infrequent in Tiree."

William M'lver vivit 1616. I know of no Gilcolm M'Soirl ; but Gilbert M'Sorle or
Lamont of Auchinbreck (brotber of Monydrain) is mentioned in 1575 with bis spouse

1427. At Donone. Sheriff-Court of Ergyle held at "Donone" by Neill
Campbell of Blayr an'd Johnne Campbell of Auchinvoling, Sheriff-
Deputes of Argyll, constituted by my lord Earl of Argyll, Lord Camp-
bell and Lome, and Sheriff-Principal of the said sheriffdom of Argyll.
(Signed Gilpatrick M'Laurin.)

Inquest : — Johnne Boill, elder of Auchtekerean-moir, Allister Camp-
bell of Ewig, Neill Makilhannych of Dallilongart and 16 others.

Elizabeth M'Kesak, lawful daughter to umquhile Malcum M'Kesak,
compeared and desired a foirspekar, to wit, Charles Campbell of Kil-
bryde, who was admitted to speak for her as her procurator, who pro-
duced the King's Brief of Inquest, impetrat by the said Elizabeth and
lawfully executed on 5 June, 1583, with the Earl's precept directed to
his officer commanding him after the sight thereof to proclaim the

Brief at the Parish Kirk of Donone on 20 June instant, to have Eliza-
beth served as lawful heir to her said umquhile father.

Johne Lawmonth, fear of Knokdow, appeared and desired Johnne
Stewart and Mr. Archibald Lawmonth, his procurators, to be admitted,
who said against the Brief and its execution because the same was not
proclaimed at the "mercat-croce of Inneraray as principall toun " of the
sheriffdom of Argyll. Elizabeth's procurator said the Earl's precept com-
manded proclamation at Donone Kirk, and therefore the inquest may
proceed. The said Johnne Stewart still protested, the like allegeance
being put forward by Neill M'ilhannych of Dallilongart, instancing the
service of a brief rased at the instance of Awlaye Makneill, which stayed
the said Awlaye's brief for this same reason. He further alleged that
Elizabeth'smother was not married upon thesaidumquhile Malcum, which
is notoriously known to the assize. Charles Campbell said no such fact
was known to the assize; and that it was but Johnne Lawmonth's
allegation, so it should be repelled. Johnne Stewart replied that the
said marriageVas never completed, and that it was evidently known
that they were delated before the kirk. Charles replied that the parties
were haldin;in repute as mareit folks, as is clearly knawin to the
inquest.

After' mature deliberation, the Inquest found that Elizabeth was
lawfully begotten betwixt her parents, and that she is nearest and law-
ful heir to her said father. Johnne Stewart continued to protest, and
Charles Campbell said he ought not to be heard further.

1 Silvercraigs is situated on Loch Fyne, within the parish of Kilmichael-Glassarv
Argyleshire. . . The City's connection with Silvercraigs originated in proceeding
taken for the recovery of money lent partly by the founders, and partly by the governors
of Hutcheson s Hospital to the Laird of Lamont, within whose territories the lands wen'
situated. In 1643 the laird owed the hospital 8000 merks besides interest, and in ltio<*

422 Inventory of Latnont Papers. [1694- 1724

the town gave the hospital value for the debt and accumulated interest, and took an
assignation of the laird's bonds. As the lent money was not forthcoming, legal proceed-
ings were taken by the town for attaching the lands, and a decreet of apprising having
been obtained, the town council, on 9 May 1663. appointed a bailie to hold a court on
the lands, and to collect the rents for the town's use. Other creditors, however, had
been adopting similar proceedings, and among the number was Robert Campbell, son of
Colin Campbell, who was at one time Provost of Glasgow. Robert Campbell contested
the town's right to the lands. ... On 2 October 1669 a Commission was given to a
writer in Inveraray authorising him to collect the rents of Silvercraigs for behoof of
Robert Campbell elder and younger, for ten years, and this indicates that an amicable
arrangement had been concluded.

The Campbells, father and son, were merchants in Glasgow, and some of their
family connections are traceable through the titles of the property called Silvercraigs
land, which was situated on the east side of Saltmarket, opposite Bridgegate

Till 1664 neither of the Campbells appear in the titles under the territorial designa-
tion of Silvercraigs. In the next writ, however, dated 24 February 1703, Robert Camp-
bell is designated ' ' of Silvercraigs, " and he thereby conveyed the Saltmarket property
to his son-in-law

4 August 1442.

The Church of Kilmun was founded by Sir Duncan Campbell, and was
once collegiate. The vault at Kilmun has for some time past been the
burial place of the Argyle family ; and the coffins of Dukes Archibald and
John, and Duchess Elizabeth, are shewn, with the stone effigy of one of the
ancient Knights of Lochow, represented in the act of killing a wild boar.
The following is supposed to be a copy of the original grant of the above
burying place ; it was taken from the credible recitation of a gentleman,
and thus rendered, by the ingenious Mr. Angus Fletcher of Dunoon, who
says he was credibly informed, that it was engraven on a stone arch, in the
Duke of Argyle's family vault, under which arch, according to the tradition
of the country, the first of that noble family were interred.

Gaelic Inscription,

said to have been engraven on the front of a stone arch, in the
Argyle family vault, at Kilmun.

Literal Translation of the Foregoing.

I, Great Lamond (Laird) of All Cowal, Do give unto thee,
Black Knight of Lochawe, A grave of Flags, Wherein to bury thy
son, In thy distress.

The kind of grave here mentioned has been frequently found in
different parts of this country, as at Largs, etc. etc. ; and there is every
evidence in point of circumstance to warrant the supposition that the
above grant was the original one, given by one of the Chieftains or Lairds
of Lamond, who, according to Buchanan's "History of the Clans," was a
descendant of Lamond O'Neil, a son of the great O'Neil, provincial King of
North Ulster, and who resided in ancient times at the Castle of Towart, on
the Cowal shore.

424 Inventory of Lamont Papers. [1472

The Black Knight of Lochawe, mentioned in the inscription, was, most
probably, Black Sir Colin Campbell, second son to Sir Colin Campbell of
Lochow.

Note. —There is, on the other hand, a widely current tradition in Cowal to the effect
that the "Black Knight" in question was Sir Duncan, first Lord Campbell, whose
eldest son, Celestin, predeceased him. According to this tradition, Celestin died in the
Lowlands, and the removal of his body by the Holy Loch to Inveraray was interrupted
at Kilmun by a severe snowstorm. The storm continuing, leave was sought, and
obtained, from Lamont to irjter the body at Kilmun. This version has at least the
merit of explaining Lord Campbell's re-building and endowment of the very ancient
foundation at Kilmun. — Ed.

bloody Irish rebells did in the year 1645 most cruellie, barbarouslie and
maliciouslie burn and destroy all our houses and cornes, robbed and took
away all our goods, murdered and killed many innocent people be-
longing to us, and committed many other most wicked crymes ; and that
the Laird of Lamount and his brother, of whom we complane, are guilty of
so great treachery and perfldiousness for which they ought to be punished ;
and that your Majesty and Lordships by your Act of 25 June last have

ordained them to be brought prisoners to the Castell of Stirling where they
now are to be proceeded against. Petitioners are confident that the Lord
Marquis of Argyll, without prejudice to his right of jiu-ticiary in other
matters will be content that they pursue them before the Justice-General
and his deputes. Therefore they petition that they may have criminal
letters from the King's Advocate, and to order that the prisoners guilty of
so great crimes be kept in prison till the day of their trial.

so soon removed to England ; and when the English " took in " the Castell

1452. The true relation of Sr James Lamont of that Ilk His actings and sufferings

In His Late Majesties service since the yeare 1643.

Humbly ofered to His Royall Highnese James Duke of Albany and Yeork etc.

His Majesties Commission was sent to the said Sr James by the
Marquesse of Montrosse, and hee receaved the same at his owne Mansion
house about the latter end of Aprill In the yeare of the date thereof, with
a letter, desireing him to meete his Excellence the said Marquesse, neare to
Dumfreize upon the South borders of Scotland : about the beginning of
May Anno 1643 But the rebells, haveing notice of the said Marquese his
designes, sent the greatest part of their forces unto the said borders ;

430 Inventory of Lamont Papers. [1669

Whereby the said Marquese being disapointed of the Aides of the well
affected by reason they were overawed by the said Rebels their forces The
Marquesse was forced to retyre to his Majestie without any successe : So
that the knowledge hereof was almost as soon come to the ears of the said
Sr James as his Majesties Commission and his Leivetennents letter to his
hands But the next yeare thereafter the Earle of Antrim cheife of the
Mcdonnalds did send his cousin Sr Alexander Mackdonnold over from
Ireland with fiveteen hundred expert souldiers as forerunners of his owne
comeing (who notwithstanding did not come with a residue as was exspected)
Yet our forsaid Marquese of Montrose did come throw a great part of
Scottland in a disguised maner having but two in company with him dis-
guised also : And haveiag thus travelled by night roads many a mile he
came directly to the said Sr Alexander Mackdonald, Generall Major to the
Earle of Antrim ; who was then in an Highland Countrey called Badze-
noch belonging to the Marquese of Huntley ; Chiefe of the Noble familey
of the Gordons, with whom the said Generall Major Mackdonald most
cherefully joyned, with the which Marquesse the Badenoch people, and the
people of Atholl next adjacent thereto, did with Loyall hearts ryse and in
a body did march towards the rebells who were then in a great body neare
St. Johnstowne An ancient Citty in Scotland : Whom they defeated att a
place called Tippermoore ; and thereafter went to the farr North parts of
Scotland where they continued for that yeare, 1644 ; being all the while
Two hundred miles distant from the said Sr James his Countrey; but the
next year 1645 the said Marquesse haveing much augmented his Army by
George Lord Gordon Who brought in his freinds and followers came in the
month of August 1645 and totally routed the Rebells whole army at a
place in the west called Kylsyth And from whence the said Marquese
encamped at Bothell Bridge From whence he wrote to the said Sr James to
make his addresse to him ; to which place the said Sr James with all hast
repayred It being but twenty five miles distant from his cheife mannor
house, and there his Excellence gave him a new commission of the date
contained in the same After that the said S1' James Lamont of that Ilk had
receaved the said Commission Hee heartyly undertooke His Majesties Ser-
. vice ; And that hee might have the better freedome for drawing together his
owne freinds and followers and many others within that Sheyre He desyred
that his Excellence the Marquese of Montrosse would be pleased to send Sr
Alexander Makdonald who was Generall Major with some five or six
hundred men to be assistants to him while hee gott his owne and others
brought into a body which request was immediatly granted by his Matis
Captain Generall viz. the forsaid Marquese, who no sooner being come with
the said Sr James, within the Marquese of Argyle his bounds then Sr
James quickly drew together his said freinds and followers And the said
Generall Major and he with conjoynd forces did march throw the said
Marquese of Argyles and his freinds their territories none of their enemies
dareing to stand in their way : So they marched in good order throw all
the countries of Cowell, Argyle, Lome, and Kentyre doeing no further
harme (to any person thereinto) then takeing their necessary susteinance ;
and thus they continued for the space of five weekes, the said Sr James
Lamont in every place goeing to the seaverall heads of the trybes, within
the saids bounds All whom hee had perswaded to joyne chearfully with
him : for advancing of his late Majesties (of ever blessed memorie) his just
cause and interest 'For they and their predecessors had always a depend-

ance on the said Sr James and his predecessors) Whereby within the said

space of tyme they and hee together mustered neare two thousand men :

And why 1st the said Generall Major and hee were farr removed from

his owne lands the whole name of Campbell drew together in a body and

fell upon the said Sr James his countries and Baronies kiiling all the poore

people whom they found without his garisons and so murthering man

woenian and chyld whom they could overtake burning and destroying all

his laud his kindred and followers, their houses and comes As also they

plundered and carried away all their horses^ mares, cows, sheep, goats,

swyne, and what ever else of moveable goods they were able to gett their

hands on : the report whereof being speedily sent to the said Sr James who

was then in the Countrey of Lome bringing into the said service with

himselfe the ancient fumiley and name of Mackdowgalls which haveing

effected he then began to put his commissions in practice For he burned all

the Campbells their houses and cornes and killed all the fl'enceible and

armed men hee could overtake of them, Yet never suffered hee any harme

to be done to old or Impotent people women and children But the said

Generall Major and hee fynding that there was no hope of Reclaymeing the

Campbells to their duty full loyalty and obedience to his late sacred Majestie

They therefore did with such courrage and resolution assaile and invade

them where ever they could have notice of their being that in short tyme

they extruded and expelled them out of the saids countries (Except some

few who betooke themselves to some castles and rocks within loghs and

lakes) even as foxes when hard hunted doo to their holes ; The spring of

the year 1646 being then begining and the enemies thus gone, S1' James

haveing a resolution that the Generall Major and hee should repaire with

their whole forces in that ensueing summer to the assisting of their

Generall the Marquese of Montrosse whom they knew to stand in neede of

them after the defeate receaved at Phillip-] laugh : But before hee should

goe he considered it concerned him in conscience and honour to fortyfye his

houses with victualls and ammunitione and with strong trenches and fousies

and also to leave more men within the same then he had left whylst

himselfe had occasion to remaine in the countrey and for the defense of his

wyfe and children brethren and sisters and the wives and children of

those whom he was to take along with him to Montrosse, For which end

hee returned from the army which was then in Kentyre ; under the

command of the aforesaid Generall Major Mackdonald bringing only along

with him five hundred of the specialls of his freinds and followers, But

whylst hee was thus fortyfying his houses the foresaid Major Generall

Mackdonald went out to the farr Isles of Loghaber. Arkinglasse being the

Marquesse of Argyle his neare kinsman and having the sole command in

his absence of all his kindred and followers heareing tell of the absence of

the said Generall Major with the Army came with all the whole power of

the Campbells with Shipps boats and great cannons and beleaguered the

said Sr James by sea and land within his owne principall house, and

haveing mounted their said cannons did continue shooting and battering

for two days together, (haveing layne a fortnight about the same before

that) And upon the third day they sent a gentleman to the said Sr James

offering honourable capitulation. The said Sr James haveing receaved a letter

from his Excellence the Marquesse of Montrosse some three days before he

was bessidged wherein hee did signifie to him that hee was commanded by

our late Soveraigne of Ever glorious memorie to lay downe arms and

432 Inventory of Lamont Papers. [1669

therefore he required the said Sr James to doe the lyke, ffor which cause
hee did the more readily give eare to a capitulation and hostiges being
given from them for faithfull dealeing the said Sr James sent forth his
brother Archibald Lamont of Steelage with instructions upon what terms
to capitulate And., in a word they yeeilded to all that was required which
indeed were as honourable and brave conditions as were ever granted to
any : for the Lamonts were all resolved rather to dye then not to have
most honourable conditions : But to be short Those honourable capitulations *
upon the third day of June 1646 : Signed by Sr James Lamont on the one
parte and by James Campbell of Arkinglasse cheeife commander his
Collonells Majors and Captaines and other gentlemen of that name who
were there with them on the other pairt and a double of the said
capitulation was given to the said Sr James and another given to the
said James Campbell In the which capitulations1 the foresaid persons
and partyes were deepely sworne to the artickles contained therein As is yet
to be seene by the principall, which the said Sr James hath yet in custody
but shortly thereafter the said James Campbell with all the rest of that
name and their followers did seize upon the person of the said Sr James, his
brethren and whole gentlemen of the name of Lamont which were in both
his garisons and haveing first disarmed them and their followers They
keeped them in severall chambers within the said garisons for the space of
eight dayes as if they had beene Galley slaves, And in the interim of tyme
those Campbells did nothing else but plunder and carry away all and
whatsoever did belong to the said Sr James his brethren sisters freinds and
followers, And amongst other things they carryed away the said Sr James
his charter chist, wherein were the whole Rights and evedentes of all his
baronies and lands and spoyled himselfe and brethren of their whole
cloaths Yea they were not ashamed to dispoyle his Lady and sisters of their
gowns and petticoats leaveing little more upon them wherewith to cover
their shame but their smocks and also the said Sr James his children were
robbed of their little garments and thus they used all his freinds and
followers, their wives and children : And so after that those Campbells had
robbed them of all they had they burned broke downe and demolished those
garisons and so great was their crueltie that they spared not any of the
name of Lamont that were past seven yeares of age ; yea so far went they on
in their barbarous cruelties, that they plucked sucklings from their mothers
breasts and dashed out their brains against the walls : And ten dayes after
the capitulations were ended they carryed the said Sr James his freinds and
vassalls to a place called DUNNOONE about five miles from his principall
garison And there in the Churchyard they most cruelly murthered (with-
out Assyse or order of law) on one tree thirty and six at one tyme of the
cheifs and speciall gentlemen of that name, and before they were half
hanged they cutt them downe and threw them in by dozens in pitts pre-
pared for the same and many of them striveing to ryse upon their feet were
violently holden downe untill that by throwing the earth in great quantity
upon them they were stifled to death (this was done on the fourteenth day
of the said month of June) And it is much to be remarked and taken notice
of that the same tree upon which these thirty six gentlemen were hanged
being shortly after cutt downe did immediately as it was in cutting spring
forth blood and notwithstanding the body of the tree was carryed away yet
did the root thereof continually cast forth blood for the space it continued

1 See No. 1432, supra.

1669] Inventory of Lamont Papers. 433

in the ground which was for seaverall yeares together so that the certainty
hereof hath beene verified by Knights Gentlemen Ministers and others And
after the Committing these horrid murthers The said Sr James his lady
children and sisters and all the remnant of the woemen with so many of
their little ones as they had left alive were carryed away by boatfulls to
other countries either to get by begging or starve ; But it was Sr James his
good fortune (dureing their abode in the garison) that hee haveing in the
dark of the night slipt asyde from his keepers did meete with a sister of his
to whom hee said I perceave these people (meaning the Campbells) art most
perfideous and not lyke to keepe any artickle of the capitulations sworne and
subscribed by them to us And I fear also ere it be long by violence they
will wring the same from mee therefore be you pleased to receave this same
into your custody and by the best and surest way you can carry the same
unto our noble freinds that you and they may require (in convenient time)
reparation for their breach made allready to us yrof, or shall make here-
after, Which she with many sobbs and tears answered and said how shall
I be able to hyde it from them being that already I am divested of my whole
garments, even to my smock, But he said to her there is no remedie but you
must take it for it is«iot only all the evidences which wee your brethren and
kindred have for our whole lands and estates But also all the securytye
wee can pretend for our lfves and blood which these wicked people
by all appearance are likely unjustly to robb us of The which then she
accepted of and retyreing herself to a most secret corner she disvailling her
head wrapt it up in the platts of her haire where secretly she kept it
dureing the tyme she was detained in the said garisone and so carryed it to
the Metropolitane Citty of Edenbrough where (shortly after the murthering
of her freinds above mentioned) The parliament did sitt : To whom she
complained of the Rapine murthers and cruelties committed upon herselfe
brethren and kindred But so great was the Overswaying power of the late
Marquese of Arguile that she not only could get no hearing But likewise
could get none that durst assist or countenance her legall persuite against
the Murtherers of her deare freinds And so was forced not only then But
at severall other parliaments to goe away without the least hope of satis-
factorie redress, yea without any hearing at all And in this meanetyme the
said Sr James Lamont and his two brothers with two other speciall young
gentlemen of his owne name were transported twenty myles thence to
Inverrarah the Marquesse of Argyle his cheife Mansion house and from
thence disposed upon to severall prisons And these two other gentlemen
were by one George Campbell Sheriff and Justice depute to the Marquesse
of Argyle brought back to Inverraray And by the said George his order and
command were most cruelly hanged they alwayes pleading the benefite of
their capitulation hee still mocking them when they spoke yrof affirming
that no capitulations should be keeped with Traytors to God and his
Covenant as hee tearmed it, As for the said Sr James himselfe and his
brethren they were keeped seven years prisoners in great want and misery
for Sr James had neither shirt nor cloaths for four yeares together but the
same hee had upon him when hee was taken The which in the said space
did all rott of him So that there did not keepe so much together as cover
his nakednesse And at last there was given him one shirt and one suite of
very coarse gray cloth which was all hee had endureing his seaven years
imprisonment In which misery hee continued for the space abovesaid untill
His Majesties comeing to Scotland where the Capitulations were presented

434 Inventory of Lamont Papers. [1669-1676

to him by his said sister with a narrative of the breaking thereof and of

the evill useage and hardshipps hee then endured for his loyalty to his

Majestie and his father of ever blessed Memorie Wherefore his Majestie

and his Estates of Parliament commanded the late Marquese'of Argyle to

bring the said Sr James and his brethren in safetie to Sterling And there

for the safetie of their lives from the cruelty of the Marquese and his freinds

they were by his Majesties command committed as prisoners to that Castle

Where they alwayes remained untill that Generall George Monck haveing

considered the Marquesse of Argyles and his freinds cruell dealings with

the said Sr James and his brethren and pittying their said useage and

Innocence hee did liberate and sett them at freedome But no sooner was

the said Sr James gone to the West parts of Scotland to live quietly with

his noble freinds there (not dareing to goe to his owne lands) but as soone

as the said Marquesse, Arkinglasse and George Campbell forsaid hunted

out men to murther him Whereupon hee was forced to flye to this present

Dutchesse of Hamiltoun for safety who then lived in the Isle of Arran from

whence returning back was againe laid wait for to be murthered So that

hee was forced to flye to the East parts of Scotland where he stayed five

years together With his noble Cousin the Earle of Wiutoune to which place

the saids persons failed not to send men to murther him But they being

detected hardly gott their owne escape made ; By what is said there is none

but may Immagine that his sufferings and losses are very great ; his sonn

lyeth yet out of the possession of his owne estate which is hoped will make

yor Royall Highnesse the more instant for him Being that it is knowne

that hee is one of the most ancientest standing famileys in those parts Now

I must conclude with showing your Royall Highnesse the most deplorable

condition of his family Who by the endeavours of the present Earle of

Argyle, In byeing Appryseings and old debts that the familey lay under In

the tyme they suffered for his Majestie that they are absolutely ruined

never to be a familey unless your Royall Highnesse be graciously pleased

to take the whole premisses into your serious consideration and out of your

Princely Goodnesse commiserate their sufferings and take some course to

see them repaired of their losses Which Princely Act will indeare as in

duty bound that familey and people Ever to be obedient servants to your

Princely Highnesse.

1481. We have to record the decease of one of the most distinguished
members of our Island circle. Mr. John Lamont departed this life at his
residence at Diego Martin Valley on Thursday the 21st inst. at one o'clock
in the morning. Mr. Lamont had arrived at the age of 65 years, the
greater part of which he passed in this Island [of Trinidad] : where he had
accumulated a very large fortune, by care, perseverance, and intelligence,
accompanied by the strictest integrity, and marked by honour in all his
transactions. He was never married ; and we believe it is not known who
will become the possessors of his fine estates in Diego Martin and in
Naparima.

His body was attended from his residence to Cocorite by a numerous
cortege of friends ; and it was there placed on board the steamer, and
brought to San Fernando — from thence it was conveyed (attended by his
friends who are resident in Naparima) to the family burial ground at
Canaan Fstate, wher« it was finally deposited next to the grave of his late
brother, Boyden Lamont, Esq.
