Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border (Sir Walter Scott) Vol 3 p.144. Revd [Reverend] James Russell Yarrow. Mr James Coltherd Yarrow. |
010.08 ; 010.12 | "In ploughing Annan's Treat, a huge monumental Stone, with an inscription, was discovered; but being rather scratched than engraved, and the lines being run through each other, it is only possible to read one or two Latin words. It probably records the event of the combat fought betwixt John Scott of Tushielaw, and his brother-in-law Walter Scott, third son of Robert of Thirlestane, in which the latter was slain. The person slain was the male ancestor of the present Lord Napier. Tradition affirms that the hero of the song (Dowie Dens of Yarrow) was murdered by the brother either of his wife or bethroted bride. The alleged cause of malice was the lady's father having proposed to endow her with half of his property, upon her marriage with a warrior of such renown. The name of the murderer is said to have been Annan and the place of combat is stile called Annan's Treat. It is a low muir, on the banks of the Yarrow, lying to the west of Yarrow Kirk. Two tall unhewn masses of stone are erected about eighty yards(?) distant from each other, and the least child that can herd a cow, will tell the passenger, that there lie "the two lords, who were slain in single combat." (Border Minstrelsy Vol 3 p.144). |
