| Longformacus Parish | Longformacus (Parish) | Continued | There is a farm in the parish called "Otterburn" - It is not likely that the contest between Douglas and Hotspur took place here; but as the field of that contest has not been determined, and as it could not have been at a very great distance from this parish the fact of their being a place of the name of Otterburn here, deserves to be stated - There were several severe contests in this neighbourhood, may well be presumed from its vicinity to the debateable land - Indeed, the name of an adjoining hill, Main - or Man-slaughter Law, hands down the memory of a bloody conflict, supposed to be that which took place in 1402, between the Earl of Dunbar & Hepburn of Hailes; and a large heap of stones at Byrecleugh, in this parish 240 feet long of irregular breadth & height, but where broadest & highest, 75 feet broad & 18 feet high - appears to test a similar contest - The Stones composing this heap have been carried to their present place from a crag half a mile distant - They have received the name of the "Mutiny Stones"; but there is no authentic account of the occasion which led to their accumulation _ |
